ROOOOOOOOOAAAAR.
You have no idea how PISSED OFF I AM.
Ok, well, maybe you do.
BUT LET ME EXPLAIN.
So yesterday, I was on an avatar website that I frequent, ever since I gave up hope on Gaia.
I was in the art forum when I came across a thread and saw THIS:
And then I was like "oh hey. That looks...really familiar."
And so I worked some google magic and, voila:
Looks like I caught me some tracing.
So then I looked at some more of this girl's art. And I found several more of these pictures, and found several more originals that looked exactly like them!
Well, this girl was selling these pictures for online currency, which I knew the moderators weren't going to like. But before I submitted a report, I hopped onto Photoshop and did a simple layover test. And well...
Yea, it's pretty obvious she was tracing to an extent.
So I PMed a moderator with the evidence and left a message in the girl's shop:
Yea. You guys can tell. THAT WAS ME BEING NICE. Really f**king nice.
And then EVERY single person who asked me "what's going on?", I replied to them in PRIVATE MESSAGES as to avoid more publicity in the forum for the sake of the tracer!
Some girl then replied to the evidence I showed her in my PM,
And I was like,
HOW THE f**k DO YOU TRACE WITHOUT INTENDING TO TRACE?
But no, I was NICE. I said,
And this is when the s*** starts. Some f**king asshole replies:
Ok, so right then I really wanted to stab this motherf**ker in the face VIA pixels. He hadn't even seen my god damn proof, but he jumps to the conclusion that my proof HAS to be invalid. WHEN HE HASN'T EVEN f**kING SEEN IT!
So you know what? I post the s***! f**k this "play nice" bull! Screw "avoid negative publicity", screw "avoid hurting anyone's feelings". f**k IT.
So I respond, TRYING to keep myself calm:
And then I posted the f**king pictures.
Well, that guy never came back. But another asshole appeared to take his place:
-RIPS OUT HAIR-
ROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAR MOTHERf**kER.
I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN POSTED THE PICTURES IF DICKs***S LIKE YOU DIDN'T RESPOND LIKE A DOUCHEBAG WHOSE JUST TRYING TO MAKE THIS IDIOTIC ARGUMENT LAST EVEN LONGER!
Well, thank god I didn't have to reply, because I don't know what the hell I would have said then. Instead a moderator came in, and pretty much ended it by telling the boys to stfu and telling me to not let them provoke me so easily.
I can't help it, I'm easily provoked damn it! Dx
But you know what pissed me off THE MOST throughout this entire argument?
EVERYONE WAS LIKE "LOL GUYS LETS JUST PRETEND THIS DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN SO THAT -ARTTHIEFGIRL'SNAME-'S FEELINGS DONT GET HURT!"
Several people were worrying sick over the FEELINGS OF THE ART THIEF!
Saying "BUT SHE PROBABLY DIDNT DO IT INTENTIONALLY!"
"SHE WILL BE THE ONE MOST AFECTED BY THIS GUYS BE NICE TO HER!"
WTF?
WTF?
WTF?
ROOOOOOOOAR.
Ok. Feeling better now. Rant over!

Not to sound rude, but do you trace?
EDIT: nevermind, you don't need to reply. I've found the originals you've either traced/referenced without citing the source or making note about it, and a moderator is taking care of it. You seem like a very nice person, but really, I don't find this acceptable. I've even found the original art traced/referenced in the pieces you've recieved gold for in your shop. Please don't go about using exact poses from original art as a base without making a note about it publicly and providing a link to the original.

Some girl then replied to the evidence I showed her in my PM,
she is a very nice person.I do believe she have no intentions of doing that whatsoever ^^
And I was like,
HOW THE f**k DO YOU TRACE WITHOUT INTENDING TO TRACE?
But no, I was NICE. I said,
If she had no intentions of doing it...she wouldn't have done it. Repeatedly. I understand that she is a nice person. I'm not doing this because I don't like her or anything--hell, I've never even talked to her. But she shouldn't be tracing another artist's work and promoting it as her own, she can get in trouble for it and I reported her in order to help her, not hurt her.
And this is when the s*** starts. Some f**king asshole replies:
Have you considered something called coincidence? Look, you don't know her. As you said, you've never even spoken with her. I'm sure what you saw seems identical, but she's not making gold from this(It is a freebies thread, after all) and you have no right to go throwing around accusations, let alone publicly.
In short, get out. You're not wanted in this thread. No one like you is.
If you want to take something like this up with ANY artist in the future, PM them. This isn't Facebook, don't air out your dirty laundry here.

So I respond, TRYING to keep myself calm:
Excuse me? Have you even seen the proof? I have already taken this to a moderator and -moderatorsname- agreed that it needed attention, and a moderator from this forum will be dealing with it. I didn't just take a wild guess. Maybe you need to see the proof for yourself. I wasn't going to post it here in the thread. But now I think that people deserve to know that her artwork is being traced. Maybe you don't understand what "plaigarism" is, but I do :\
I'm not even going to edit thit post and take the pictures out, unless a moderator or -tracergirl'sname- tells me to. If more people like you are going to pop out of the blue and blindly defend someone in such a rude manner, I might as well just leave the pictures up so that no one else jumps to the conclusion that I'm just hallucinating these 'coincidences'.
these are her completed pictures. I've layered them onto the REAL originals, which I found by simply doing a google search.
And this first picture here? She DID make gold off it. It was in her shop.
