I want to bring up a great artist who I regularly commission for the last 3 years or so. Leonel Walbr's artstyle blends realism with fantasy and the work has been, in my personal opinion, immaculate. They're consistent and thorough with communication in every step of the commission, from sketch phase to finishing. They always informed me whenever a commission had to be delayed, such as due to sickness or other rl matters. I've commissioned many character reference sheets and a few non-sheet artworks from them. I have always been a happy client, and I want other people to see their great work. Here are some samples of the work they have done for me. Their social media links are below: https://www.deviantart.com/filhotedeleao Userpage of filhotedeleao -- Fur Affinity [dot] net Leonel Walbr | Facebook

I shared the link to the approved beware on Twitter. The artist found this tweet and left the comments screenshotted by a mutual, which I was unable to see because I was blocked. Per armaina's post above, the artist's claimed 'finished product' is of different quality than the advertised product.

Looks like it. I've seen that Betty Boop fanart before. I think they might be trying another ban evade.
