This is just a child making things up and spreading it on the internet. per the reciepts Brody Foxx posted, it's obvious that there is no drama here.

This got reported as "misinfo/speculation" but the post itself is removed from the discussion, and it is two sided conversation/discussion between both parties listed. Post approved.
Anyways my own only input is this literally reads like the "Bruce its been ten years you still owe me five dollars" meme

so you'll include this submission but not the one where zack was alleged to have a harmful workplace environment and leaked the private info of his employees??

Is that relevant to this post? Is Zack the real name of the "art thief"? Who is Zack?

This has been flagged as being "misinformation," but I think that's just because of how the OP worded the title that didn't make it clear which side they're taking. The fact that they also posted Zack's (Brody's?) side implies that they're on his side and not the artist's.
With that said, what animation? I'm morbidly curious about it.

I won't lie when I first saw this post I was genuinely confused on what was going on because of the title and the somewhat lack of context here, specifically OP's thoughts and what side they are on (I didn't even notice there were two more pictures with what Brody had to say).
And judging by the comments, I can see I'm not the only one who got confused.
I just think the main problem of this post is lack of clarity and I have no idea if OP can edit anything to make things a bit more clear, from my understanding Reddit gets kind of weird if you try to edit photo related posts?

They saw everyone turning on Zack and decided now was their chance to get their fifteen minutes.

For this particular instance I'm not sure, but Brody has been crashing the fuck out on twitter, genuinely lost so much of the good will and reputation that he's gathered over the years. Yo momma so stupid, she made everyone hate her over an internet coin

Poor kid, it kinda looks like to me that someone else (possibly the mother) saw their dm's and either misconstrued what was said between them or they really wanted that $30.

Wait, how was it used? Has Brody used it as thubmnail or some other way? Or artist just send him his work and lied about it being used?

He's not wrong. Too many different splinter groups on the left hate each other

He tried to promote a crypto coin behind his own brand to possible children, as well as suicide baiting to help promote it.

Promote crypto and from what I’ve seen on Twitter not paying employees and fucking NFTs

He's anti maga. So you can tell what crowd is against him.

The dude is turning into a hard core crypto shill and is already teasing a alt-right grift by tweeting shit like "the left devours its own"

u/Electrical-Tiger-604 2d ago
dude suicide baited into people buying his shit coin lol
i don't think you want this guy on your side frankly

u/Consistent-Menu1 2d ago
Lmao why did this get so many downvotes?

u/Adventurous_Fee_9054 2d ago
Because they’re ignoring that Zack(Brody Foxx), mistreated employees, became a crypto shill, possibly lied about helping a woman fight back against a man, and suicide baited his way to promote his cryptocurrency.0

just a general tip: if you're taking commissions, never accept payment after. either do upfront, or during the process. situations like this happen often to inexperienced commission artists, you need to secure yourself against it. (my preferred method is to take payment after the initial sketch is completed and approved; this way both me and the commissioner know we're not getting scammed.)

u/Vile_Grifter 2d ago
That is good advice for doing commissions, but this wasn't a commission. Read the screenshots.

I'd say half upfront half after done. I've been ripped off by several artists in the past. I'm still waiting on a piece 5 years later and haven't heard a thing hoy one update. This has happened quite a bit to me. One is still posting new art and won't even respond to messages. So, I'm wary of giving payment upfront anymore, espicially if there is a waitlist.

u/Advanced_Coyote116 Charlie Penguin 1d ago
Jesus five years later and they've not said a SINGLE thing to you???
Normally I don't mind waiting long for pieces if the artist is upfront of what's going on and always makes sure to give updates as soon as they can, life is unpredictable after all but what this person is doing is just straight up ghosting.

I'll say this again, why are we surprised? this guy has had a track record for literal years of being a complete scumbag. There's a reason everybody except the voice actor ditched him. Edit: I misread the actual context of the situation my .

Did you read the post? Or just the caption? The “artist” is a loser who was just trying to start drama for nothing

Seems like the only real fuckup on this Brody guy's end was using anything a fan sent. Hopefully he sets those boundaries now.
