This TikTok user, from what I am being told, is refusing to credit the artist he stole from for his videos. And there’s quite a few. 

Such masterful editing and it only took 2 hours to draw a lopsided mouth [blep] 

Same fuck face from before. Beginning to think they’re a fucked up kid looking for kicks by trolling this fandom. 

Oh boy… got a newb who thinks they’re not stealing. And yet, proof is in the eye of the beholder here. 

Same uncreative loser. This time they took X-Zelfa’s OC and butchered it with sloppy recoloring. 

Gussied up art theft in the form of a minimalist poster. First time for everything. Original by X-Zelfa. 

Admittedly it’s not a perfect trace, but I think it’s very heavily referenced or frankentraced in some areas. I have a feeling that I-Grafix heavily references without credit on a lot of their deviations.

You would be correct. They do frankentrace or heavily reference without crediting the artists. She tried accusing TC of tracing in the past even tho obviously she did but since moved away from that, to make her look better and justify her thievery. 

Facebook thief going around stealing artwork from artists like Hydracarina and X-zelfa. They even say that other kids can recolor their ‘bases’ they traced off fan art provided credit for their urt is given. This is how traced bases off fan art without permission begins. 

And the same person had the audacity to steal from X-Zelfa as well.

This is just never going to end. If the artists report them, the pictures can be taken down I believe.

The question is, what’s the DMCA takedown time frame? For Facebook it’s anywhere from 48 to a week waiting. For Instagram, it’s 48 hours within filing it. For Google’s Blogspot and fanpop, nothing. Those two don’t remove stolen artwork. They just flat don’t care.

Throughout the film, the diverse team of young animals will learn how to utilize each of their unique abilities to solve problems and accomplish tasks to maintain balance within the Circle of Life, while also introducing viewers to the vast array of animals that populate the prodigious African landscape.

Art theft from X-zelfa 

Just because it’s online doesn’t mean it’s free or fair use. Images seen on Google are susceptible to copyright, meaning you have to ASK to use. Otherwise you’re going to get an entire fandom upset.
