Alright peeps... I found someone stealing other artists' work from dA and just recoloring it and calling it their own, I know because I recognize the images, but in a different form, it's digital and pretty sloppy. This is the person - [link]

The thing is, I know I've seen them but I can't seem to find the links again, so I can't report them! I'm also know that if I note said person, they'll deny it. So, if you could go through their gallery and if you recognize any images and you happen to know the original piece it'd be much appreciated!

I hate doing this kind of thing, but I suppose it has to be done.

This is one of the pictures that they have stolen - [link]

Their image - [link]

However, I can't remember where I got that image because it's been sitting on my computer for who knows how long. (When I was younger I went through this whole thing of googling anime couples and using the pictures for display pictures on MSN and Yahoo!, but I NEVER said that the image was mine.)

[link] - Obviously Namine from KH2

[link] - Naruto

[link] - Again, Naruto

[link] - from manga clip art (thanks HoneyAppleNinja for clarifying ^^)



I'm not really angry with this person, I'm more... upset that they do this to artists' that spend years perfecting their own style, instead of doing what those artists' they stole from did and practicing their art so they can make their -own- art.

yeah, i used to do crap like that, but i would NEVER claim it as my own I don't do that anymore.

that last one was from a graphics CD called manga clipart, i know, i have it. basically it lets you make a character and color it photoshop.

I use to do that with head shots of known characters and turn them into iPod logos, but I stopped doing that years ago.

And thanks so much for clarifying what the last one was ^^

Oh she's screwed.

I recognize 5 of those 'drawings' that I've seen before (and remember the links to it), so she's gonna be reported for those.

Copying art- I don't have a problem with. After all- it's how most of us learn.

Claiming a copy as your own- that could get someone into SERIOUS trouble.

--It's OKAY- We're ALL mad here--
:iconelieana:
Mmm well this person wasn't really copying =/ Just recoloring. And saying it was his/hers. Which is bad and wrong =(
