Adding onto my last thread, I DM'd the artist if I could commission them to see if they would actually take any person's art. I sent them a piece of an artist's dnf fan art that I really admire to see how they would react and to see the price of the art. //
When sending the picture, they instantly complied and said they could do it. On top of that, when I asked if they knew the artist they said they did not know of them. Nor did they ask me if the artist in question was ok with it. //
I asked the price of the piece and they said it would be 45 dollars with a shipping price of 13-18 dollars. Of course I am not going to order it, but the fact that they are so ok with tracing people as stated before just seems wrong. //
They are, in a sense, making money off of a piece that probably was made for free. They have given as well false credits to the artists they have "referenced" in the past and is open to selling them as well. //
Listed below are some of the pieces they traced and are open to selling:
Lastly, I want to state to not ever sell someone's art unless give the permission to! It can be discouraging to some artists and on top of all of that it can be uncomfortable to some! Selling other's people's work does not make it your own. /srs (retweets are really appreciated!)

I don’t mean to update this thread, yet they are now crediting the piece like crazy, saying they won’t be selling the Sapnap one. Yet they don’t credit the Dream one. Here is some proof that they are ok with selling traced work:
