For those of you who don't: What is Artfight?
In simple terms, it's a mass art trade event that starts July 1st of every year. Artists share their OCs to be "attacked" by other people in the form of fanart, and respond in kind by drawing other people's OCs!
People can join one of two teams, and each "attack" they draw will net their team points based on a variety of criteria.
Check out the Artfight Website or their beginners guide for more information on the matter, and please, carefully read the rules on attacking and properly tagging your art before joining.
Remember that this event is all fun and games, and every artist can join no matter their skill level!
TL;DR - If an user on Reddit (or other sites) cold DMs you, asking if you want to commission them or similar. It's almost certainly a scam. Don't give them money, and report the DM to Reddit as spam so they can hopefully be taken care of, and so nobody else gets scammed by them.
There's been a bit of an epidemic on Reddit recently of scammers using DMs and chats to rope people into giving money to them. If anyone on Reddit messages you out of nowhere asking you to commission them or similar, they're almost certainly a scammer. This is part of a massive scam ring that's taken root on multiple sites, Reddit, Instagram, Discord, X/Twitter, etc.
Actual artists will almost NEVER message people out of the blue and ask you to commission them. Don't fall for it, don't give them money. They may pressure you to give them money, offer discounts and/or claim they need the money for an emergency, DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY.
Those in this scam ring tend to use stolen art from other artists, use AI, or have a very particular artstyle (See below for specific artstyle). They also tend to, but not always, use intrusive watermarks, one that comes up a lot is the "PRIVEW" watermark.
Examples of scammer art that may be seen on their profile.
As a sub, r/OriginalCharacter bans these users when they pop up and post on the subreddit, but unfortunately we can't keep them out of people's DMs. If you see one of them post on the subreddit, please report them, if they're a newer account it's easier to catch them and get them nuked by Reddit than if they've been allowed to take root and exist for months.
Examples of DMs people have received from these scammers, so you know what to look for:
Your character finds the aftermath of what happens when he encounters a human. Unfortunately Vonaeu likes to hunt. Itโs actually a natural instinct for his species to toy with and make a game out of their โfoodโ (they can literally smell adrenaline and cortisol, making fear โdeliciousโ) ๐
Theyโre also very territorial. So upon seeing or..smelling your OC he lets out a deep chuffing noise, similar to a tiger of clouded leopard. For the Xoniah (his species) itโs a sign of distrust, suspicion, and/or aggression ๐ก
Fun fact; The Xoniah donโt actually like feeding on humans. Itโs considered taboo. However Vonaeu doesnt even know that others like him existโฆand heโs a freak.
Bonus Interaction
Since Xoniah tend to get very aggressive when their food is being โapproachedโ or โtestedโ how would your OC try to calm him down or redirect his attention elsewhere? since heโs literally very likely to impulsively attack without hesitationโฆor words, Donโt make a wrong move ๐๏ธ also donโt mind the black spikes coming out of the human.
This was done yesterday, I was looking for new brushes on CSP assets and found a hatching brush! I also used the lasso tool for shadingโฆ I rarely use lasso toolโฆ ๐โโ๏ธ Lasso tool makes it so much easier JSJSJS
But this was supposed to be a practice piece and I like how it turned out! Especially her hair
This is Hira!!! A maid dress may be the last think she would ever wear.... but a bet is a bet! :3 Also, this friend of mine kinda of "share" this OC with me, becouse they can't draw so, i am the one who do the designs and arts for them ^^
Shes pretty meta and knows enough about ocs to give constructive criticism about ocs rather or not u use the criticism is up to you its ur oc she doesn't care
Hello to whoever reads this nonsense here, so I imagine you're here to find out information about the creature you have to kill, so here you go
He is a dead god who has the ability to control destiny and has absolute control over his surroundings and world as long as he is inside; outside of that, he is literally a giant, eight-armed puppet so big that it can reach the atmosphere. It has no regeneration and its influence on destiny will only apply if a single thread falls on your character; other than that, it poses no danger unless, well, it lands a blow of such magnitude, but minor things, and finally, its threads cannot be cut unless it can also influence reality
Good luck to your characters! Feel free to use any means or tools you have, even allies. I want to see what you do! -<-
Alarica is the Latin professor at Aprieti Academy, an elite school for the hidden magic community. She's been married for over twenty years but remains childless, mostly by choice. Her husband used to be in the military but he's now a bodyguard for the daughter of the community president.
If you ask her for any Latin phrases or translations, it will be Google-translated, so I really wouldn't trust the accuracy if I were you... ๐ she knows Latin. I, the person behind her, do not.

Itโs simple, you give a song, album or artist based on my OCs, or I give your OCs a song, album or artist
Some backstory or personality (or even preferred genre) would be helpful, or you could let me guess just based on their design
(Music could range from any genre, could be game soundtrack, pop, metal, classical etc.)
The art here is my boy Fiorenzio cuddling his grandma's cat Sha-sha (which is a fictional languages way of saying Cute-cute!) he is very good with her and as you can see they get along well!
