Someone is out there telling artists that they're in my team requesting work for a new huge Octofurry UPDATE and after the work is submmited they ghost the artist. That has nothing to do with my game or my team. I would never request work without an upfront payment, that's standard procedure to me!  

Even though there is going to be a new release from this game (hopefully this year), the whole team is already set up. Please, beware about these people and if in doubt reach me in a post here, I will respond as fast as I can. 

For the ones that got hurt by this, I'm trully sorry and I wish I could do something to compensate your time spent, but I'm really just a one guy spending money out of his own pockets to make games :(  

Stay safe guys.
