Art Thief/Reposter Warning

Hello Puzzleshipping artists of Tumblr. Wanted to spread awareness of a particularly prolific art thief/reposter here on Tumblr.

@qyza8kcq4x6udjq is taking and reposting the art of many artists from Twitter, Instagram, Pixiv, and even from tumblr. They are reposting the art without credit to the original artist.

You can’t report the stolen art without filling out an DMCA, and that needs done by the original artist.

But what you can do to support the original artists is DO NOT LIKE/REBLOG the reposter’s posts. Help spread this awareness among the fandom so that we aren’t inadvertently supporting and enabling this behavior.

The best we can do is encourage them to stop reposting art, as it is theft. And to encourage them to get permission before reposting and credit the original artist.

If you can, if you recognize the art, try to contact the original artists and let them know so they can have the art taken down if they so wish.

Please share !!

Dear followers and mutuals,

I need your help ! ⚠️⚠️⚠️

(sorry for the long post)

The same Astarion artwork continues to be stolen time and time again by unscrupulous shops (I've filed over 20 complaints, just on Etsy alone). One particular independent shop refuses to remove the items using my artwork, ignores my messages, and deletes all my comments warning buyers.

Here's the specific artwork, my original fanart, and the low-quality and insolent modification to turn it into a shoddy sweatshirt and t-shirt design. Which is promoted on TikTok !

This has to stop.

Sharing your work on the internet, or even just sharing your passion, has become a nightmare for artists and creators. We already have enough to deal with in the face of AI threats and platforms like Aliexpress; now we have to manage a surge in theft as well.

This shop is also appropriating other artworks from the BG3 fandom.

Here are the screenshots :

I'm seeking your help in identifying the authors of these artworks so that I can notify them.

I'm also currently in contact with a specialized attorney because I've had enough.

The cup is full, and I want to be able to showcase my drawings without enriching thieves. It's particularly painful during this period of economic crisis, where, like many others, I'm struggling to make ends meet, to feed my two young kids.

Here are all the contact details for this fraudulent shop :

⚠️ Please share this post and report Melody prints social media's accounts ⚠️ Everyone needs to know they are a THIEF ⚠️

melodyprints.com

The website says the shop is located in 217 S Parramore Ave, Orlando, FL 32805, United States

TikTok account of melodyprints is spookymelodyprints

Instagram account of melodyprints is _melodyprints

Also, Ghosttraveler on TikTok has made a callout video to help, here is the link, if you can share it as well : https://www.tiktok.com/@ghosttraveler/video/7291769599530454314

Thank you so much for reading this, and for your help.

Art thief Jeff Dieschburg plagiarised the work of Jingna Zhang and presented it as his own version of Turandot. Even winning prize money for it.

When confronted, he claimed he was “inspired” by her work even though it’s obviously just her work but flipped and recoloured.

In other news, Jingna is not the only artist he has chosen to steal from.

Here is his lovely responses when questioned. “I don’t understand why you have to make such a scene”, “I didn’t represent this woman from Japan (or wherever she is from)”. Smells like white bullshit.

And here is a snippet of a message he sent to Jingna trying to cover his ass after she found out about his plagiarism. Btw the person he “stumbled upon” is another plagiariser, birds of a feather something something.

🚨ART THEFT WARNING🚨

This is a PSA for fellow artists that @/orendaforest has taken to tracing my art and passing it off as their own. They have used my lines for COMMISSION WORK that they profited off of and what’s more- they refuse to admit they traced my work.

I requested they take the posts that show my work down and they have, though they continued to deny having traced anything. They’ve ONLY taken the posts on tumblr down, not any of the work from their cardd or other media. I’m not sure if there are other artists works who have been taken, but figured it safer to make a post. Below are the pictures they had on their blog and the pieces they traced overlayed on top:

These are the overlays for the “portfolio” work of their cardd for feral furry art:

I have since blocked them and urge others to do the same. This is so incredibly infuriating and in turn makes it hard for me to feel like sharing my art- even though I need to to help support myself. Please be vigilant and if you see something, say something. Theft is theft.

Additionally, if anyone knows the people who commissioned some of these pieces (or are the commissioner themself) please feel free to contact me in DM’s. I’d like to make them aware of this ASAP so they know the situation!

#pro tip: I am so Fucking mad #this has been such a time to deal with this #tiring me outtttttt #but I want to find the people who paid money for stolen art cause Jesus Christ #wc #warrior cats #warriors #wc oc #art theft #art thieves #art thief #yowling

Identity fraud in Pokemon fandom

I was seeing a lot the blog @ohr-cn in the tag and on my dash (and their side blog ohr-cn2) and I thought it was the tumblr of the artist of the same name that I follow on twitter.

But I was surprised because they never mentioned any tumblr blog on their social media. Just to be sure, I contacted them a little while ago to confirm it was really their blog and today they replied to me...

"Sorry for the late reply! That blog isn't mine…I only have two accounts: X and pixiv. Is this considered identity theft? I'm surprised🙄 Thank you for letting me know"

....I really wished I was wrong about that blog but here it is, someone took their name to create a blog here and post their works without them knowing all this time :'(((

I'll try to help the artist, I don't even know if there is an option to report that (at worst I'll show them how to report for copyright infringement).

I hope that if you're in the Pokemon fandom you'll be careful about this blog, avoid their future posts and/or even block them.

#I'm super sad for the artist :'((((( I really wished it was really their blog #I'm glad I never rb anything from it now #pokemon #art thief #signal boost #important #personal

How lazy do you have to be to not only steal my art AGAIN but to repost it in terrible quality, a terrible color swap, and a shitty crop, too? XD

LMAO YOU EVEN CUT OFF THE BOTTOM HALF WITH ALL MY PALETTE BOXES

AND YOU STILL CAN'T BE ASSED TO REMOVE MY SIGNATURE???

The sheer LAZINESS OMFG asd;lfkja;ldgka

For those who aren't aware, this idiot stole my artwork 4 days ago and then came onto my original post and tried to claim the art belonged to them.

When I called them out and then challenged them to prove it by showing the file and WIPs, they blocked and deleted my comments XD

Proof this is actually MY art btw

What a fucking loser

Mini update: I fucking can't XD

"I been living like a criminal for so long. Now I'm just a criminal" adsl;fkjsa;ldkgj;akljg;lakjg;kajg;jka;lfgkja;jgfa

🚨ART THEFT ALERT🚨

Hi everyone, I’m not a big blog and I mostly just lurk here but I won’t stay silent for this one.

This blog has blatantly stolen artwork from @beetlecrest and reposted it as their own. This is wrong and infuriating. They have refused to take down the stolen art or credit beetlecrest in any way and people who have messaged them to take it down have been blocked. The whole blog is full of stolen art. Please spread the word and go support the original artist!

Here is the link to the original post! 👇 Please go support them!

⚠️Please go report this person!!💀⚠️I've already made an announcement on my Twitter and my Instagram and I'm probably going to make one on my Tiktok because I'm fed up, this person is having fun stole my art and traced it back (and I'm not the only one!!) It's been going on for several months and it annoys me, especially since the first time she was old enough to have understood but she continues and I the impression that she doesn't care about me (if you send her a message please don't harass!!⚠️)

Art Thief on the Loose!

Tumblr user @mrs-inkstargirl

They have stolen art from my dear wonderfully talented friend @tyginartist

They are now blocked but this is a warning to other artists!!! They along with another user have been known for harassment of others. Please be warned and advised about their behavior!!!

They even had the audacity to put on a watermark and tag it #my own art, I am raging and FUMING my guy

#art thief #warning #my friendly neighborhood #mfn #mfn gordon #mfn gordon o’brian #mfn ricky #mfn ricky the sock #mod turtle #mfn norman #RAGE RAGE FUCKING RAGE #UH UH #NO ONE DOES THIS TO MY BEST FRIEND #NO SIR #>:( im angy

[paper-starz]

Are you kidding me?

If you haven’t already please block and report @mrs-inkstargirl for stealing/ tracing art.

This is the original art made by @tyginartist (go check em out! They are lovely!)

THIS was the stolen/ traced copy of it. It’s practically an exact copy of it.

They have also traced art before and I am pretty sure they WILL do it again.

(Also, they have deleted the post in question too)

#my friendly neighborhood norman #mfn norman #my friendly neighborhood #art thief #stealing is never ok #and you have the audacity to call it your own art? #and from one of my friends too??? #look you and your friend have been causing a LOT of drama in the MFN fandom and I do not like it #I am very tired of all of this #both of you should know better #also (for the rest of you) please do not harass mrs-inkstargirl #it’s better to block them/ report them for stolen art

PLEASE HELLUVA BOSS FANDOM, STOP SUPPORTING THE BLOG OF REMTIX :'(((

Seriously, each time I scroll the tag I see their posts, it's already annoying but then I see how many people are liking and reblogging their posts when they are STEALING the arts from people from twitter, without crediting and even hiding the watermark.

Just today I saw this :

and guess what? the artist comes from twitter AND they do not allow reposts, IT'S EVEN WRITTEN ON THEIR PROFILE >:((

By liking or reblogging from this blog, you support art theft and it's a disrespect toward the creators of the fandom

so really, BLOCK remtix and if you recognize this art (or reblogged others from that blog), delete it too that would be helpful.

#helluva boss #hazbin hotel #I'm tired to write to the artists each time when people just don't care and keep supporting the blog #and I don't even understand why other arts in the tags don't get enough support but people support without problem an art thief #the artists don't deserve us really.......... #IMPORTANT #art thief #personal #SIGNAL BOOST
