So I noticed that LuckyLadyXandra has been through this and I really don't want to be one of those people, but is anyone else getting a lot of new watchers over the past few months/weeks with completely blank galleries, avatars who either watch a buttload of members or they just watch you, and they don't fave or comment on any of your stuff? I don't want to give that impression, but my mind keeps going towards negative assumptions that have me feeling anxious and worried, like are these alt accounts of people I've had bad blood with in the past spying on me, or potential art thieves trying to snoop in my watcher's only folders? I feel like that sort of thing shouldn't be some of the first thoughts that come to mind, but you know--being harassed or having your art stolen for years does things to you. But I've also been hearing around that they are possibly bot accounts. I hope I'm just imagining things. But I know I'm not imagining getting a lot of watchers over the past few months with very blank galleries and faves.

The ones in red boxes I'm looking at as sus and this is only the first 44 of my recent watchers. I know one of them has an avatar, but their gallery is empty and some people can put up an avatar to try to throw off suspicion.

It's gonna take painstaking work, but I'm gonna have to inspect and make my judgements on every 200+ watchers I've had in the past few months. Don't worry, I'm only blocking empty accounts with *no avatar (*up for debate if their gallery and faves are empty), empty gallery, empty (or near empty) faves, and who follow lots of people or just me.

Because I don't need bots or possible moles/spies watching me especially if they're not gonna comment or fave my stuff. I'll be blocking them for my own safety too.

If you are not a bot account or other, you are free to come forward to tell me you genuinely want to watch my work or like my content, but I'm only going after what is said in underline. If you have an alt account you want to use to watch me (because you don't want other people to know) feel free to Note me--not Chat, Note me. I'm gonna give this a week (maybe less) before I take action to give some new watchers a chance to contact me.

I guess for starters, it's been awhile since I last came here, over 4 months to be exact. But I'm still alive and putting my focus somewhere else. I hope to be more active on here but that's a maybe not a promise.

Second, I got a month of CORE membership. Woo-hoo! This gives me a chance to cram my art into watchers only folders. I feel I can't trust anyone who isn't a watcher of mine and if you honestly feel like my art is worth faving and or watching me, hit the watch button.

However for the love of all things awesome, do not watch me and then unwatch me just to peek into my folders. I will take that as suspicious activity and I will take precautions such as blocking you if you do such a thing. I'm doing whatever I can possible to protect my art and characters.

If you must know what my gallery contains and the content, I am a base doller. Meaning I use bases to make art and characters so most of what you see here are dolled bases. I am also a fan artist who loves making fan characters of shows I love and whenever I do, I love to make fanarts for my friends and artists I look up to. My content contains some NSFW and also things of wholesome scenes. Be aware of most of my old art, I know they're cringey but we've all made cringey art in our old days before.

Just be mindful about my policy and hopefully we'll get along just fine.

Just wish to post to show I'm not dead and to announce of my upcoming birthday. At the very least I wish to receive birthday wishes on the 28th of this month.

But I also wanted an excuse to feature this lovely drawing LuckyLadyXandra kindly made for my birthday. Thank you so much, I love it!

I've been hearing about a scare that's going around and has happened to artists on this site. Honestly it worries me. Supposedly there's this "trend" going around called NFT. If no one knows what it is or what it's about, go to this link. It'll explain better than I can. https://www.theverge.com/22310188/nft-explainer-what-is-blockchain-crypto-art-faq

How I feel about it as a whole, I hate it and it's immoral. It sounds like stealing but you're using other people's arts or possessions to trade for something of equal or greater--which is wrong and utterly disgusting. I don't condone theft in this way or any other way as they don't care or even have the courtesy to ask if they can use your stuff for NFT. I worry about this not only for myself but my friends' arts as well. These thieves need to quit robbing us of our art and peace. Nobody should feel fear or apprehension when people post their art online. So I hope something can be done about this, but the first steps are awareness and doing something about it.

Idk if this will deter such unscrupulous thieves from taking something from me for NFTs, but I figure making this statement loud and clear is better than being silent.

As for my art, fan and original characters, fanarts, etc let me make this clear:

NOBODY HAS PERMISSION TO USE MY ART, FAN/ORIGINAL CHARACTERS, FANARTS, ETC FOR NFTS!!! THEFT OF ANY KIND ISN'T TOLERATED!!!

YOU DON'T HAVE MY PERMISSION FOR SUCH THINGS AND YOU NEVER WILL!!!

IF IT WAS YOUR OWN PRECIOUS POSSESSIONS AND CREATIONS AND SOME @$$HOLE STOLE YOURS TO USE TO TRADE FOR OTHER THINGS, YOU'D BE MAD AS HELL TOO. IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN JUST ART THEFT, CLAIMING AND RESELLING SOMEONE'S CHARACTER YOU DON'T OWN AND MAKING PROFIT FROM IT. IF YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO YOU, THEN DON'T DO IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. IF YOU'RE JUST A JERK WHO DOESN'T CARE, WELL KARMA IS REAL.

DON'T - STEAL - OTHER - PEOPLE'S - ARTS - FOR - NFTS!

I know there's a chance that this message and my preemptive answer for NFT won't work. People will say, it's the internet. Well, imo "it's the internet" is a terrible excuse. It doesn't make it okay at all and it's not a victimless crime. Respect should be a golden rule. I wish everyone well and that no one will ever experience this.

So to anyone reading this, if you happen to see my art and characters, or anything from me on another site used as NFT, REPORT IT IF POSSIBLE AND INFORM ME. Because more likely than not, they're stolen.

I've actually know this for a few weeks, but I just had to share. They said it would never happen, that it was never gonna get remade... but they were wrong!

I'm so excited that I can hardly wait. I've waited 15+ years for the day that it'd get the adaptation it deserves, this gave me a reason and incentive to look forward to 2021. Shaman King was one of my favorite shows that I'd wake up to every Saturday for, I loved it before I knew what anime was and before it was cool. And hopefully, they will follow through with the story of the manga and not half ass it like they did with other anime where the manga was still ongoing.
