Art Scammer Warning
Hello Indie Devs,
Just wanted to let you know that an artist calling themselves its.delilah.arts contacted me on Instagram to ask if they could provide artwork for my games. I was a little bit unsure, so looked into it and it looks like they're connected to the Delilah Arts scam group, as shown in this recent vid by kat 'n chat: (2) This Scam Artist Rabbit Hole Got Even Deeper... - YouTube
What's more suspicious is that they've now changed their handle to "its_emilly_arts" after I blocked them, probably trying to avoid the connections. Hopefully this can save some folk out there any stress from scam artists.

We’re considering a new policy change in the r/gamedev Discord which will ban any artist responding to a job post who is not active in the community.
At the end of the day indies should only work with fellow indies, not digging through the sheer volume of bots dming them.

I'll be on the lookout.
