Account reposting people’s Kion fanart. 

Scam alert

https://www.deviantart.com/paintbynumber3 owns the site https://paintingbynumbers.shop and already I’m seeing lots of stolen fan art found on Google by fans from other Disney franchises.

(Why is it that every time I use the links option on the new Tumblr editor, it never shows the links once I post it?)

Another Instagram line art account claiming absurd rules for their traced fanart. They seem to have done well enough with screenshots but had to dip into fan art.

The proper fandom etiquette when making traced bases is to ask first and foremost. If the artist doesn’t respond, is absent, or says no, then don’t use their art as a traced base. It’s just that easy. Using one’s art without consent is plagiarism.

Reposting fanart and claiming “Fair use” without understanding what it means. There’s probably dozens more fan art in their gallery, too. 

They’ve been using concept art and screenshots up until recently, where they took Caper-DJ’s art and treated it like a coloring page.

Another AI dudebro posting scraped adopts. 

Remember folks, AI is art theft. 

Just like with trolls, don’t feed them attention. 

Art theft on ko-fi.com. They have the nerve to trace Kaisertiger’s art and claim they drew it and are passing it off as a sticker. 

They’ve disabled the comments, preventing any more people pointing out that they blatantly stole from Spicygaypizzarolls

Please do not be fooled by adoptables like this. AI Dude Bros are starting to infiltrate this fandom, disguising scraped fanart as adoptables. 

AI is art theft. 

P sure I posted about this person here before, but they’re now stealing fan characters for their busy edits. They’ve stolen Azola from DJ88, and have taken art from Panther85. Someone edited an adult Kion, which they’re also using.
