i didn’t really want to make this journal but i thought it’d be best to do it anyway.
i’ve recently met a scammer by the name of crimsoncolt7, yet it seems he has many acounts with different names on various websites (deviantart, inkbunny, tumblr, furaffinity,…) the reason i’m making this and the most important thing + the only thing i want everyone to really know is that
if someone asks for information on me or asks if i have any other accounts, tell them to ask me instead, don’t give them any info.
he’s trying to get other accounts of mine so he can contact me everywhere.
if you’re wondering what this guy does you can find plenty of information on the internet about him, here’s a few links:
Da journal 1
Da journal 2
youtube rant
type his name in google, you’ll find plenty more.
basically he asks people for collabs,requests or a trade. and if you don’t accept he bothers you until you do.
tldr version
this person asked me for a comic on his story, when i said no he asked for a requests, when i said no to that, he went on to say that i owe him a drawing because he showed me his story.
full version
in my case he asked me to do one of these 3 things on my nsfw blog, i was interested, since i enjoy working with other artists, be it musicians, writers or people like me who draw. he said he’d like to present to me a story, later he also added he would do both dialog and flat coloring as a part of the collab.
i stated i hadn’t accepted to draw the comic yet to make sure he wouldn’t be dissapointed if i said no. he then proceeded to send me a story which contained a fanfic he wanted me to draw out. i dindn’t like it, so i refused to draw his comic.
after that he asked for a request, so i told him i don’t do OC’s for requests and that requests are more there to just give me ideas. he then responded by saying that he needed a picture as “insurance” for him showing me his story.
i explained to him that just because i saw his story, it doesn’t mean i owe him anything, especially considering i stated beforehand that i hadn’t accepted his story yet before he showed it to me.
the conversation went on and it became more and more aparent that he was just trying to get me to draw his OC for free. after i stated that there was no way i would draw him something for free, he sent me the message at the bottom.
this guy follows an algorithim to manipulate artists, so if he starts to ask you for a request, art trade or a collab, it’s best to just ignore him and block him anywhere he tries to contact you
he tried to get free art out of me too
