Description

This image was intended as a commission to [link] who requested a painting based on her "original character" [link] (which later turned out stolen, see below).

I spent hours on the *&&^& costume (I don't even *like* purple!) but the the person in question kept making requests for additions and deletions. She then failed to respond when payment came in sight... So I started getting suspicious and did some research. Now I've found out that this person is a scammer. For a detailed modus operandi (my case is virtually identical), see

[link]?

and for another case:

[link]

So, beware of this scam...

Well, after all this work at least I don't have to give this work away to the fake commissioner. You can all have it in full resolution instead. I guess this is part of the scam, as she gets to download the image as well and for free, but whatever.

To warn as many people as possible, you might want to fave this piece ;-)

EDIT: still another case: [link]
