I don't normally make these kinds of journals because I like to avoid this drama. Plus, I normally don't think it's that big a deal. But I decided to make an exception, and I hope you guys take the warning.

There is a dude here on Deviantart who is harassing people to draw his character, even if they do not take requests. He will try to trick you into thinking he has a disability, and try to make you feel sorry for him in order to get art out of you. If he types strangely, that is a trick. He can type fine if he wants.

Here is a journal with more info about him, and a stash with screenshots of conversations between him and other people he has harassed.

I will admit that I drew something for him. He contacted me about his character and I was bored, thought it looked kind of cool (always wanted to draw a night fury and thought it'd be good practice for dragons), and drew it for him. Here's the pic:  Versel2 by RiverSpirit456

He later uploaded it to his account, which I would have preferred he didn't since I like to keep these kinds of exceptions private, but I suppose I should have known.

If you are contacted by this person (you can find most of his account names on the journal I linked), then please immediately block him. Do not reply, and if you do not recognize him, then the moment he asks you to draw his dragon character (unless you want to I suppose), just completely ignore him.

That is the only strategy you can take with these kinds of people. Do not reply, delete their spam, and report their accounts. They will keep coming back, sure, but at least if we know about him, we can avoid him as best we can. If he is spamming you and insulting you, then please just don't reply. Delete it and don't listen.


I hesitated posting this journal because attention like this is what he wants. It'll frustrate him a bit, but honestly I think he'll probably laugh at this. Still, I felt it worth telling you guys.

If he spams me in the comments or in notes, I'll probably just laugh, and I hope you guys can laugh too since we won't let him get to us.

Oh, man, kind of reminds me of this guy, :iconmollyhaleismyfriend:  He's a spammer, nostalgiatard and a closet pedophile.
