/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Needed a swimsuit costume idea for colossalcon, messaged a Japanese fanartist on pixiv if it would be ok for me to sew a swimsuit using their design in one of their anime fanart works
>got super happy reply back, they asked to see pics when I was done
>send pics late June, still no response 2 weeks later
>heart sinks when I realize that they did upload something onto pixiv over this time
>as a last resort I make a twitter post and tag them as credit
>no response, my already high self loathing has peaked
>at least other random people on twitter/other social media liked it, but I still feel like the dumbest stupid person
