this is an example of what the artist-to-client scam message looks like, though there could be other versions and i haven't seen what the client-to-artist version looks like. (not my screenshot, but this was posted in the official VGen discord server and is consistent with the reports i've seen)

got carried away with this sketch of my fallout 76 pc, howie ☢️

An illustration of a man (my Fallout 76 player character, Howie) wearing a scarecrow mask with straw hair and buttons for eyes. He's dressed in an old fashioned blue suit which is layered overtop with armored shoulder pads and an ammunition belt. On his arm is a Pip-Boy. He's waving cartoonishly at the viewer in front of a bright green background. The text off to the side reads HOWIE.

feels like i've forgotten how to sketch for funsies with zero expectations of a finished product so i'm trying to get back into the habit of using my ipad like a sketchbook.. it is a challenge but i feel a little better about it every time i do it

as if shit couldn't be worse for leland, he is often plagued by phantom visions of his own death for reasons he doesn't understand. perhaps it's related in some way to his inability to stay in one timeline for long..

combo of burnout plus overwhelming desire to work on personal projects again, feeling generally inadequate in multiple areas but not having the time to work on them, being constantly busy yet not feeling productive at the same time, struggling to keep things afloat at home... it's all just a lot....

hello #PortfolioDay ! i'm zack, an illustrator and comic artist who likes to draw horror, fantasy, and romance 🦇 i'm available for illustration and comic gigs!! #oc #illustration #comics VGen | Portfolio | Links | vampbyte.art@gmail.com

A dark illustration of a vampire wearing a tattered hood. He has shaggy black hair, red eyes, and long fingernails. He's holding a strange occult object with a dangling crow's foot at the end. In the background, various other unusual occult objects (a mask, a jar with a fetus, a skeletal hand with jewelry, etc.) are visible. The art has a red ornamental border with the word BLAISE on one side.

An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background.

An illustration of a long haired man with elf ears looking somberly at the viewer. He has tear tracks down his cheeks. he is standing in front of a series of eroded statues, each of which also has tears in its eyes and is overgrown with foliage. The sky is red and ominous behind them.

An illustration featuring a man with long blonde hair bathed in blue shadow. He's looking over his shoulder at a mirror which is reflecting itself over and over in its center. The art is bordered with a white glass-like border featuring angel wings. Text on the left side reads "Wanderer of Time" and "Angel of Man"

underrated advice that i wish i'd figured out way earlier in my digital art life: if your drawing software lets you adjust your pen pressure so you can make more varied line weights without using a lot of pressure, DO IT!!! cut off the end of that pressure curve!!!

got an email from one of those vanity article scam sites and i just have to laugh at how they filled in the blanks of their automated template for me

"We were particularly struck by the unique character and atmosphere you create, evident in pieces like your 'Illustration Commissions.' The way you blend themes of weary vampirism with your distinct visual style presents a fascinating narrative that we believe would resonate deeply with our discerning readership."

original piece got corrupted so the best i got is the touched up sketch 💠

A drawing of a long-haired man wearing a broken white mask looking directly at the viewer. He is wearing an overcoat that covers his mouth (or where it would be, if not for the mask) and his irises are black. The background resembles painted old stone.

been using this one more lately, i appreciate models that are more crude with their shapes and give my brain JUST enough to see the vision without being too inhibitive of my own interpretation

[shares appreciated!] taking commissions for july! b/w gothic illustrations, portraits, surprise illustrations, and comic pages are all available for a limited time⭐ vgen.co/vampbyte

A grid of various illustrations and comic pages created by me. Text reads "VAMPBYTE commissions open"

A portrait illustration of a man with pale skin and black hair staring at the viewer. He's wearing a black trench coat and is putting on a pair of black gloves. Behind him is a wall and a framed picture of a black butterfly, both splattered with blood.

A black and white comic page. In the first panel, a long-haired man with elf ears is holding up a lantern in the darkness to look at something. In the second panel, he uses a dagger to cut through a wad of flesh, revealing the face of a person beneath (SFX: SKKKT). The third panel shows a gigantic blob of flesh and many agonized human faces peering out from it, being consumed.
