at first, it's leading to drama topic there
Conclusion : Some Japanese (claiming he is a CEO of small publisher who publish Thai artist's work in Japan) exposed some tale about famous Thai artist aren't a real single artist, but a kind of crazy rich commissioner who claimed himself an artist
here is the topic https://x.com/Piro_Shiki/status/1893568474883977512

While not directly mention anyone, Panupong (felutiahime's personal account) making a counterattack but also slightly confession post
Conclusion: he said it's an old story, he always have a team/crew for do an artwork, but now only one left, normally he'll do a rough draft, but when he can't do (getting sick, injury) his "Bro" will finish it all

the "Bro" he mentioned isn't a real blood-related brother, but be like a man who older than him
actually the "Bro" he said is an artist name "Cutefreak", he used to actives around pre-2017

a fact about Cutefreak being a "shadow artist" for Felutia are well-know among Thai artist community especially who active before 2017, but Felutia never mention it for some reason, making a newer followers misunderstood about "She is a real single artist" (before Facebook has verified account system, he used to using a woman's name)
before 2017, art under Felutia's name are having various style due he hire various artists, but the only style he actual claimed he drew it is this style https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1800642
Cutefreak are the one of the artist he often hiring (with some other Thai artist like Butter-T), while Felutia's self art are only Chibi, he claiming the Bro teach him how to draw
but since 2017, all of his art (obviously by his style) are post under Felutia's account, and Cutefreak's social media account stop update since them
by the time keep going on, the arts improving in quality, but everyone who know Cutefreak before know it's Cutefreak's art, not Felutia's
and shortly after Felutia became a collab artist with Cover corp. (Hololive), most of Cutefreak's account are getting deactivated or deleted all works for some reason, like someone don't want a public to know Cutefreak the artist are exist
Latest Felutia's announce can be summarize like this
- Felutia used to have a team of artist drawing for him
- since sometimes (around 2017 by the evidence) only one artist "the Bro" left as his only partner (obviously a Cutefreak for anyone who know him before)
- normally Felutia doing an concept/idea and rough draft, while "the Bro" do the other rest
- If Felutia can't do because of sickness, "the Bro" will perform it all
I think it's not fair for the artist to didn't got a credit for his effort (even it's possible he getting well paid), also it's disgusting to see a non-artist intentionally not fully announce he not a real single artist
As me who know Cutefreak from Thai's board since around 2012. I pretty sure a all of late 31 pages of Felutia's work are done by Cutefreak, or at least all Hololive's works is pretty him
I think It's OK with multiple artist tags in one work, like we did on Merryweather's works that actually always hiring other artist to do the artwork, at least Felutia are claiming all the ideas of the works are really came from him
And I tried to adding a tag by myself alone before, but getting banned instantly after doing for 120+, so I need to making a topic now
Not sure you guys will buying me, but I'm OK with any results, at least I'm tried
Thank you , and sorry if my word a bit hard to understand, I'm not a native English
