To verify, they did in fact change their name.
EDIT: They blocked back on their main account so there could be some activity that I won't be aware of.
I'm making this PSA so that forum game mods can be aware of what's happening.
It has recently come to my attention that a user that goes by zombiecupcake has become notorious for posting in art games and never filling their claims. I noticed that a good portion of claims I had to take to the unfilled claims thread were from this user. They have several accounts that I am aware of.
- zombiecupcake
- wetmisterpopo (Closed/Name Change)
- McSnalies
- Doppios (Closed)
- thecakehorse (Closed)
- Cheesecupcake/Natchocheese (closed)
- theundeadunicorn (Closed)
- ladyspeedstick
- Feefers (Closed)
Artfight usernames;
After receiving a heads up from a different user I noticed a posting pattern. Either wetmisterpopo or McSnalies will claim a user and then zombiecupcake will claim one of their alts. They get free art while leaving the person they claimed without art. Upon peeking atwetmisterpopo/McSnalies both accounts have the same three characters and if you go into their art tab they have no art despite being very active on the art games threads.
As you can see in picture two the art in their art tab is just of their own OCs and at least one seems to be just a video game screenshot?
It could be a coincidence but after blacklisting wetmisterpopo from my threads, that account name was either changed to McSnalies or deactivated and replaced by McSnailes. I have since blocked that user so I am not for certain.
I have reached out to another user who said that they would provide me with their logs of this user's behavior. I have filed a ticket on this behavior.
EDIT: this user got back to me and the following is their log.

If any of their accounts still have images, their art is easily identified by its finger-drawn style, and AI generated realism portraits.
Method of taking advantage of artists in the forum art games:
1) makes a claim with alternate empty account (Wetmisterpopo/McSnalies, Ladyspeedstick),
2) claims that alternate account with main (zombiecupcake), then
3) doesn't draw for the person claimed, and also doesn't draw for "themselves"
4) receives 1 "free" art from whoever claimed them without knowing about this scheme
Example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/772310720133070859/1111663961465692181/2-claims-self-example.jpg
Note they forgot to switch typing style while commenting as Zombiecupcake (uses a more friendly typing style)
They sometimes make their own games using an alternate account, where they won't be blacklisted by OP.

Example of blacklist Evasion in other's threads to collect more free art:
Here's an example of them returning to an art game with new accounts, where they were blacklisted on old accounts.

they’re also bumping a thread made by the mcsnalies account about drawing their character into a movie poster. I almost fell for this before I saw the psa, so thank you!
I remember making an artwork of their OC Thistle Tanglewood while they were using the Theundeadunicorn account. Later on the account got closed and I noticed that Zombiecupcake had Thistle within their characters. I got suspicious that the two accounts came from the same individual, and later on I was proven right. And speaking of Thistle, in this image of her Zombiecupcake credited themself for the art instead of Basantiart (though they may have just forgotten at this point).
Demyx Thanks for the added info, it's very helpful. I didn't realize that this had been going on, on several accounts!
staywormy Thank you as well and you're welcome
JC1234TheToonist Thank you for your additions as well.
I'm only just seeing this thread and I'm glad I did.
I've partaken in one of their threads linked here -> https://toyhou.se/~forums/6753.art-games/386696.draw-the-oc-above-in-shit-posts-and-cursed-memes?page=1 Before I knew about this. Once I saw this, I looked into it. There are instances of them using those accounts multiple times in just one page.
This is the poster, the SpeedStick account, followed by their main account.
This one then has the Snalies, SpeedStick, and their main claiming back to back, but nothing being filled.
If I find more, I'll so keep updated.
i wi) They claimed my post! The link to their comment is here: https://toyhou.se/~forums/6753.art-games/386696.draw-the-oc-above-in-shit-posts-and-cursed-memes?page=1#post-6101828 I was waiting for their art but I guess it will not get done, this is really upsetting but it is fine. Thank you for the PSA!
Aw crap
They claimed me in this thread https://toyhou.se/~forums/6753.art-games/165786.draw-vn-visual-novel-sprites-for-the-oc-above-?page=9#post-5118880
to add salt to the wound this is the second time that this happened to me in the same thread.
thanks for the psa
hmm...no wonder why i keep avoiding them
i remember they claimed me once on xtreme low effort thread once and received the art
should i deleted them out? (they drew this character)
at least im glad this psa exist because i didnt know that and ty
Thanks again everyone for adding more info. And yeah, I thought that it could have been AI bit I didn't want to make accusations I wasn't sure of.
Please add their old account Feefers (CLOSED) to the list. Feefers was quite active in the art games and their account got closed. Likely for the same behavior.
Proof that Feefers is Zombiecupcake / TheUndeadunicorn :
^ Their last Toyhouse avatar before the account was closed
When in doubt, check their Art Fight defenses (received art) for clues. As far as I know, AF users cannot hide or delete their received art.
Feefers's hidden OC "Edrigal" has been re-named "Lord Venalia" and re-uploaded on Zombiecupcake: https://toyhou.se/19686861.lord-venalia/gallery
They didn't re-upload the exact same AF defenses (at the time of writing this), but some of the DA art of "Edrigal" has been re-uploaded:

Feefers was banned from various games and returned on alternate and new accounts:
