Summary: Started messaging user for an art trade taking place on 01/15/2023 (Over a year ago) through Discord, We both had a handful of designs from the same creator and wanted to do an art trade of those characters. Something fairly simple not too overly detailed etc. I ended up completing the art for them in which they said they'll finish it and never did and continued to use excuses to get more time. While trying to reach out to them again by dropping a public comment on their profile I've found other comments from other users who were doing the same thing I was. I have found that I am not the only one that they have been ghosting and scamming art out of.

I traded them 6 pieces of chibi art. This is the art I made for them that they still owe me for. https://toyhou.se/13333438.mia#59832947 // https://toyhou.se/13333607.toffie/gallery#59832965 // https://toyhou.se/18994080.crow/gallery#59832974 // https://toyhou.se/19126288.egg#59832973 // https://toyhou.se/13333501.lona#59832971 // https://toyhou.se/19126342.jinx#59832968 //

I've continued to reach out to them and they continue to still ignore me (along with a number of other people they were also doing trades with) so here I am sharing this to warn other artists.

milkteapuppy I have recently opened a Ticket to hopefully have the art removed. Just sucks that the majority of the conversation is through discord and not on TH but we'll see.

also omg thank you, it's old but i do like silly doodles as for art trades future wise, I do typically heavily watermark my previews where the watermark does say that the peice is part of an art that that is not completed yet along with date stamp. this was like a rare case in where i didn't- so my fault and im def hating myself for it.
