Need a new pinned, so~ Hello! I'm Sygdom, a queer Spanish digital artist doing a lot of TTRPG related art, specially Dungeons and Dragons characters ✨
More info in replies!
Yesterday, I made a threat talking about a case of art theft and scamming.
Today, I'm sharing a guide to help you tell apart real artists from art scammers and thieves. It's a bit long, check the whole thread! And please, do RT for visibility, this is really important!
I gotta say that using AI art is a new low I hadn't expected WOTC to reach. Fantastic timing, given GenCon is currently going.
It's a great time to try out other TTRPGs :')

Give me art of your dnd characters (or those of your friends) instead of fanart of the same celebrity filled dnd podcast for once. PLEASE.
I joined the dnd art community for people's OCs, not to end up in YET another fandom
A small etiquette tip for interacting with artists: Please, don't compare their Original Characters to existing media. Most of us don't take it as a compliment, and it can be really exhausting
Confused about the new

? I have made a thorough guide explaining it's impact (tl;dr: it is going to hurt a lot of people).
Check the thread for all the information! And please, consider RTweeting, it's crucial to spread the word!

2/6 Telling scammers from real artists can be hard: So, I've done some comparisons. All the scammers I've quoted is people that have been found either stealing art or tracing their work. (Real artist here is
@giselaeart
)
Remember to boycott WOTC. Remember to be vocal on WHY you do it. They had to backtrack after the OGL scandal. Don't buy their books. Don't buy their merch. Unsub from DnD Beyond. Go support third party content creators or play other TTRPGs. WOTC doesn't deserve your money.
WOTC is once again moving forward with their AI Plans & frankly-- it's time.
I've closed my

shop, & I will never create or sell a 5e product again.
If you make D&D content, please read the thread below.
I hope you'll join me.

6/6 If you've got your art stolen, use this link to report it:
I'll link the thread about the art thieving in the next reply. Anyways, I hope this is of help: Let me know if you have any question, I'd really like to help with this!
4/6 Behaviour is KEY to differentiate real artists from scammers. Look for people who reply the same thing to dozens of messages a day (and don't do other interactions): These are bots.
The tweets&replies tab is your best friend to tell artists from scammers!
3/6 Here, I talk about commission sheets. Compare

's profile to the scammer, who did actually steal both art from Zephyr and from
@Ameba_Espacial
(That one is, in fact, the scammer that motivated me to do this thread)
5/6 After some (extensive) research, I've noticed scammers NEVER share any insight into their process, since they don't really draw anything. Seek people who can share sketches or speedpaints, as these are clear proof of an artist being real.
I know a lot of people have been kinda trying to forgive WOTC for sending literal Pinkertons to some guy's home, or the whole OGL mess, but please be aware of where do they stand as a company.
Try other TTRPGs. Don't give them money. Don't buy this book. Refund if you did.

I'm literally just trying to give some appreciation to a type of nose that gets so often shunned, why are you taking this like a personal attack?? Chill down please 😭
Okay it's been hours since the trailer has been out but as someone who draws dark elves all day all night Aaravos has stolen my heart already.

Okay, I'm starting a thread.
About commissions on twitter: I've found out there's a LOT of people out there claiming they do commissions, using stolen art as references. This research started a while ago, with someone who stole my partner's art.
(Please, RT for awareness)
All the people who have commented on how they've had awful comments about their noses and how posts like these make them feel a bit better deserve EVERYTHING, I'm glad it can help boost the morale a bit!
If you are out of the loop on what is going on with Redbubble, I tried to sum it up in a single post. Artists are getting massively hurt by this, and people are calling for a boycott.
Please consider a RT to spread the word!
Please, remember to not watch the DnD movie once it releases. If you want to fight against the OGL, fight with your money- Because they obviously do not care about the community otherwise. (Also cancel your DnD Beyond subscription and specify why!)

Seemingly celebrating anything other than button noses isn't allowed. Maybe that person should check all the comments on people who feel terrible about their hooked noses (and how some of them got surgery just to get closer to the beauty standard, too)
