They fucked around, they found out. It’s always bronies that think they can get away with tracing other people’s art. This one’s excuse, “But I found it on the googles!” According to a friend, this one used to go by CaliforniaBitch, they clearly are ripping off KingProbby with their ponysona, among other aspects in their questionable “art.” They are clearly aware of what they’re doing, they just don’t wanna hear us tell them they shouldn’t trace other people’s artwork and disabled their comments.
You have no right to be angry over some rando stealing from you when you’ve stolen thousands of art from big-name artists, myself included, using the excuse, “I need it for my videos!!!” and refusing to credit properly or heck, fucking asking in the first place. Fanart is not your personal toy. Wanna wow us? Try illustrating your videos yourself.
This, this is Karma.
This is his DeviantArt account, if it followed you, chances are he’s stolen or plans to steal from you. The guy’s illiterate and doesn’t see that artists don’t want their art reposted when he swipes their art.
Like Claire, I too, had heard about Leonzales’ art theft accusations. After Claire went through their entire instagram accounts, and I having helped with some of the overlays, it’s uhm, it’s not looking pretty for Leon. He’s apparently targeted and harassed small artists out of the fandom, and traces off of big name artists, thinking if he shifts it ever slightly, they won’t think differently. They also think that if they credit the artists, they can get away with recoloring.
@xxtc-96xx never gave them permission, TC even told me personally that Leon never asked, nor had permission to recolor their old art. That hyena is also Kohu-arts’ artwork as well.
What throws me for a loop is that an account is already fighting Leon’s war for them. They’re pulling up all the stops, using all the tactics in the DARVO ammo.
This neurotic stan even accused KingSimba for someone’s death in the comments. Like, actual fucking yikes on trikes, bruh. I’ve been around the block in this psycho fandom, trust me when I tell you that I’ve seen people fake their deaths and claim fake deaths before for sympathy, many of the times as an excuse to steal. This one just turned up the psycho volume. Fucking yikes is all I can say, man. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes.
Artists, beware the cryptobro account Montero175. He labels himself an “Art collector” but he’s going around begging people to turn their art into NFTs for him. That’s not art collecting. That’s a scam.
His replies read like a generated bot. Like, guys, if you wanna support artists by purchasing their art, then buy prints or commissions from them. NFTs among every cryptocurrency phad have been, and always will be scams. It’s not a viable currency, these cryptobros are just pretending to be rich.
Recolor culture and edit thief. They seem to think that hiding behind crediting the artist will give them a free pass to steal.

New account that’s less than 6 hours old reposting fan art they found on the googles. Had the balls to crop out someone else’s clearly watermarked fanart and claim originul the art donut steel. I call troll with this one, personally.
Chucklefuck acts like an edgy tiktoker when approached about their redrawing someone else’s fanart. It’s so hard for them to accept they were wrong in mistaking someone else’s fan art for clipart. He immediately DARVO’s the entire thing and gaslights the og artist for referencing from the film and thinks everyone’s a stupid kid™. Shows what kind of personality and character this guy has.

Account reposting people’s Kion fanart.
How is it your version if it’s already on dA?
