Ahhhh I'm very sorry to hear that. I honestly wish I had caught it sooner to warn more people. Do you have the finished piece that they did? If it's traced as well, I can add it to the evidence.
This is my first time doing something like this, so if there's any more info needed, let me know! Please do not harass this user, simply be wary of them.
Since I've been seeing this user Cute-characters offer art for a lot of characters and such, I would like to point out that their art is traced, mostly from sprites of a game called Bandori. PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ART FROM THIS PERSON.
Update: As of June 9th, their account is still up, but all characters and art have been removed from the account, seemingly abandoned. Please still keep an eye out for any art that resembles what is shown here on other accounts.
Proof:
Example 1: (I'll try to find more accurate sprite positions that they traced later, as it is difficult to get the exact post seeing as these are moving Live2D models, but hopefully it is obvious from what I've presented here)
Example 2:
Example 3: This one is DEAD on for one of the idol cards, without the hinderance of the 2D models to block it
Example 4:
Thank you for sharing!
I was able to find the original for the second one almost immediately, and I'm still trying to find the specific sprite that the first one was trace from! I will update the post with both once I do.
@wanco-alien
honestly i'm somewhat surprised being trapped in band hell has paid off and helped me do some good lmao;;;
I've been trying my best to privately warn those who they offer art to, so I hope it'll be resolved soon as well;;;;
Not sure if this is needed info, but I went to their profile and they deleted everything off of their profile apparently?

Also worth a mention is that their character folders are completely empty too :S
@/KuroKaede: Added that! Thanks for pointing that out
I would like to comment that just because you can't see any characters on there profile it doesn't mean that they are deleted. You can change the privacy of the characters to either let authorized users to see characters or only the user can see the characters.
@-Unknown-
When you go to their Stats page however, it shows the character count as 0. (Screenshot in spoiler, idk if it's large but eh)
