Scam warning
Swiping art from Panther84 and Red-Cayenne and selling them for profit.
Decided to do a raid on Etsy for stolen fan art and what do you know…
I’ve already informed AlbinoRaven about her piece being stolen, but I don’t recognize the other art here.
Bottom left belongs to http://kashimusprime.deviantart.com/art/We-re-more-alike-then-you-think-Kion-586676075
And top left and middle are edited screenshots.
Not sure who Janja belongs to. I’m sure followers will know.
So we’re pretty much looking at a couple of third world country thieves looking to make a fast 100$ off someone else’s imagery. I’m p sure they’re not Ameba2k who produced several of the pics seen here in the screenshot.
Because fan art = knock-off
There’s knock offs like…ratatooing… and then there’s fan art.
These people clearly don’t get out very often let alone enough to educate themselves.
How about a whole Familly Pack of Art Piracy? (could use some help on reaching the artists)
The first one in the top middle is Kohu who now goes by stargrovestudios, middle is done by EmilyJayOwens whom I’m certain you can still contact, and the one on the far right is done by Roze23, all of whom should be active on dA still.
Does anyone have any brains God give a screwdriver to buy these noisy and cluttered garbage shirts? Because these all scream scam. Look at the “mom”, you can clearly see that it was photoshopped onto these people.
At first I thought it’s some awful baby recolor, but not, it’s an Embroidery Design sold on Etsy.
I find it funny that even if you approach the sellers of this art on etsy to remove it, they still throw a fit going “I FOUND IT IT’S MINE!”
Another clipart pack from Etsy. Yeah because transparent, unwatermarked fanart is a free resource you can sell. Oops, I mean you sell your “time and effort” spent in browsing DA and stealing shit.
This is why I strongly recommend artists stop making their fan art transparent and heavily watermark the art. It looks like that Janja there belongs to @frosteddreamer
