If it gets deleted by commercial reasons or something like that I just want to clarify that this time I check if there is some patreon pay post or any twitter post around; but nothing. I just found it around... in rule 34, with no source... BUT, it seems like some public scratch or something that shouldn't cause any problems

I couldn't find its source, but maybe is around.

Found the source in about 3 minutes.
Yep, it's from Patreon.

There's a lesson here: don't use rule34 as a source, it's full of pirated content.

Ah. Sorry then. Can you at least not put me a record? I'm scared it might lead to ban me.

if this is your first time doing something like this then its just serves as a warning to not do it again, it will wear off with time and get removed
if you start to do it multiple times then it will lead you to get banned
either temporarily or permanent

This... is why I don't use boorus as a primary source.

If you can't find something on an artist's official galleries, there's usually a good reason for that.

To be fair, in this case it seems it was an older piece from a suspended account. It was signed with "@tora_gy", and looking at the artist page, tora_gy was an old Twitter handle of theirs that's been suspended. Their new Twitter and FA pages have a lot less of their art, which indicates most of their existing art is from their now-suspended Twitter page.

Some people also move their old galleries behind a pay wall, for whatever reason. This is highly ineffective unless releasing new content, as Disney knows from the 'vault' days.
