+1 This has never sat right with me. Hazelgem has since edited their message, but they've been asking around in the aaa skinmakers discord for anyone with open FRC (gem) custom slots. They said outright that they need to quickly earn 170kg by the end of the month for a dragon they have a hold on, so the artist needs to have a quick turnaround so they can sell the extra copies at a profit. The audacity is crazy. No wonder they don't have any takers. Who wants to hear that they want to be commissioned specifically as a cash cow?
OP/AYRT but holy shit, if I hadn't been tempted to outright block Hazelgem before for shady stuff, I definitely am now. What an absolutely scummy move. I wish I had kinder words to convey my feelings but I really don't; there's no excuse to profit off someone else's work other than outright laziness in that kind of manner. Shame on them.
wow i guess theyre going back on my blocklist :/ i had them blocked but unblocked because i felt kinda bad and thought they changed. i misjudged them i guess

(Anonymous) 2025-03-08 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)Hazelgem is a shitty little fucker. They copy other artists, and then want to captilize off their work financially, too?
Just a final straw to finally block their ass.
