Repost culture account that’s taken from multiple artists, including me.
Another instagram account with very blatant art theft. Some of it looks like Redthelioness’ and Sickrogue’s(esp from their comic which is fairly recent) among KnightRizer and DJ88’s obviously stolen art.
That doesn’t look like freehanded referencing to me. Maybe the cub in the middle of the cub pile is more referenced than the others. But Sereea completely took what I said out of context. I had meant that it looked like a base someone else made off of Nala concept art. And Sereea is a baser by trade. And yet the simplest, please credit base, sent them into tantrum mode.
Even if it’s a traced base, it’s fandom curtesy to credit the bases you used.
Breaking news, “artist” claims not to be a child while acting like a child.
Sereea’s in hot water, again. This time for being caught tracing MalisTLK, and they’re throwing a temper tantrum on their(Sereea’s) profile page.
A lot of red flags for someone who doesn’t practice what they preach.
The drawing she claims was posted back in 2020. That was almost five years ago, and is now behind a paywall. All of her suspicious arts are now behind paywall, unironically. It’s funny that she tells others to think for themselves, when she should know better than to take stuff from others and recolor it. Such aggressive peoples!
Checks notes No, she never credits her bases unless it’s pointed out to her, and she aggressively calls you blind for it, after which she quickly goes back to edit the deviation to be right all along. She thinks because it’s on The Googles™, it’s fair use. I would have never politely commented on one of her pages to credit a base had she credited a fanart turned base with permission to begin with.
Pussy blocked me, finally. This is the sound of consequences catching up with your actions. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Tantrum time. Someone’s tushy troubled. Their jimmies are rustled and they can’t stands it no more.
She’s throwing shade and playing the victim, calling MalisTLK, who approached them in the least negative tone, saying “hi that’s my art, you traced it. Please remove it or I will report you,” the bully. Tactical DARVO move. The reporting warning must have spooked them and caused them to lash out because they blocked MalisTLK. They’re blocking everyone who’s commenting on Malis’ post and their own profile. Sereea is basically saying straight up that she took Malis’ art because she sees it everywhere, that’s not how fair use or public domain works.
She claims to have used free or paid for bases. Given her staunch behavior, I doubt they ever paid for those P2U line arts. She also claims that she credits all bases she uses which is an absolute lie. I once asked her to credit a MissAudi base which demands credit to the creator and the artist and she blew a gasket accusing me of not seeing the credit in the pic. I wouldn’t have commented if I had seen it. If you look on all of her posts, none of them have credits anywhere, it’s just her stories.
She’s missing the point about her “beautiful drawings,” people are disappointed in learning that her drawings are traced, some feel ripped off by her as they’ve bought commissions from Sereea. It breaks my heart to read that, because I know deep down that she’ll never refund them given her bitchy attitude.
Listen, I’ve learned through the years that tracing can help you learn to draw and help improve your muscle memory and motor skills. But you must never claim your personal studies as yours donut steel. Which is what Sereea is doing here. Fan art is not fair use or public domain and artists should be respected. Always ask first, wait for an answer. If an artist says no, or doesn’t respond, no means no. Move on. Recolor culture and constant theft kills motivation.

Some food for thought. If you can’t handle the harassment, don’t make posts that poke the hornets nest. Accounts with posts that go, “I can handle your opinions” but have comments disabled featuring touchy subjects isn’t such a good look and questionable. It makes you look like a troll.
“But Kash, they’s been harassed!” Again, don’t poke the hornets nest if you don’t want to get stung. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Instagram art thief who’s stolen from prominent artists like Musicalmutt2, Marlynxtlk, and Mistrel-fox. They seem to think that because they found it on The Googles, it’s fair use and credits Google as the source.
They’ve been approached before by Jessirenee, but claimed they used a screenshot (they didn’t), and then proceeded to block them.
This is why I hate the TLK fandom on instagram. It’s 90% recolor culture and everyone throws temper tantrums when told “No, you can’t use this.” I would truly love to assume that it’s because they’re kids, but unfortunately, a lot of them are adults in their early 20s.
Update on this situation. This person has a history of stealing fanart and questionably unacceptable behavior. As if her pregnancy fetish wasn’t enough of a red flag, she’s said to have had NSFW accounts (Not one to judge on NSFW taste but I’m willing to bet the farm that she traced and recolored off other NSFW artists), and has made minors uncomfortable by insinuating being sexually attracted to their OC.
On the video, she claims she doesn’t need to pay for lineart if everyone else traces it and uses it for free
