i know that this account is dead and most of my followers are likely inactive, but since ive come back to scratch out of pure boredom and a desire to learn how to code again, i figured id address something really important about this account that i was too scared to admit when i left. this account is built on a platform of lies and scams. nearly everything on this account is traced. if it isn't its heavily referenced. it sickens me that i felt that tracing another artist's work and photos and claiming it as my own was ok. i even made a profit off of it. i made money selling my traced artwork. to this day i hate how ive scammed people in the past. i like to think im better now. sometimes i think about what could have happened had i gotten popular. im lucky i never did. i look at the comments under my traced work and i want to vomit. i didnt and dont deserve that. i watch my family members wear the drawings i traced. im too scared to tell them that i scammed them. i scammed my own family. my own family. if that doesn't tell you something about how i was i dont know what will. i know that next to no one is going to read this but i couldnt stand staying quiet about it anymore. i was in a rough time in my life and i didnt express it in the best ways. i became attention seeking and toxic, and i feel bad for anyone who had to deal with how i was. if youve read this far i want to tell you something. please learn from my mistakes. tracing other's work brings you nowhere but down. if you are currently in the same place i was, please stop. tracing will destroy your confidence in your art. i have never felt the same about my art as i used to. i still have a gross feeling that i peaked when i traced. i have fallen out of practice with art because of tracing. my style hasn't changed in years. i dont want that to happen to you. im sorry. im sorry to everyone ive scammed and im sorry to everyone ive hurt and im sorry to everyone i treated like garbage. none of you deserved it. please just know im sorry. please just know that i miss the people ive kicked away from me if any of you guys ever need anything please feel free to reach out to me. if i have scammed you ever, be it selling traced art or never finishing your com, please reach out to me. i would love to draw you something genuine, its not much but its the best i can do. to my 100 something followers- i love you. be kind. stay safe. <3
