▲🌱OH, Frikken Amino's and Commissions by Uluri
Gosh darn Amino's. I really don't like them. There's a lot of reasons I don't like them, but the one reason I really dislike amino communities is their desire to request WIP works to "prove you are the artist". Let me tell you something. That's easy to fake. I think its absolutely retarded to request to publically show your WIP works to prove your real, because there was just someone who literally faked their proof of my artwork and impersonated me in order to scam people.
It's 100% the stupidest thing ever. It's just as easy to fake progress as it is to take some artwork, and it only takes a few minutes extra. I honestly think that it causes even more of an issue to have to upload your progress publically, because now the world has those progress pieces as well to make an even more convincible scam.
And for the curious, yes the scammer was taken care of immediately. I thank those who sent me private messages and let me handle this myself. Please never publicly announce an art thief, and just note me privately right away. This was the best way it was handled and I appreciate that amazingly so.
Ranting aside, These are my Aminos I'm currently on, not like I'm particularly Active.

Nextly, I would like to extra inform everyone that I have recently in the past few months switched to Commissions communication through MY SITE only via email communications. I want to prevent this kind of thing from happening as much as possible, and make it as easy to recognize who you are talking to as possible.

No more commissions notes on individual art platforms. I'm on too many to keep track of that, especially on sites who's note system removes parts of conversations (FA/Weasyl/etc). I'll announce commissions across my main platforms, but I will only accept commissions via my commission form from now on.

It does sound pretty dumb.............I guess the internet world at large is a lot worse than I thought. @_@
As a professional artist--I think it makes a lot more sense for you to have one single contact area for commissions. And for people commissioning professional artists--I would hope they understand the reasoning behind it. It's also a good move for getting traffic to your own website--the focus of your life and artwork and that's a really good move for a "business model". :)
