Traced Art - Tumblr Posts
I just found out my art got traced and stolen wtf!????
No pretty format this time cuz I'm quite serious and flabbergasted right now
I was looking for some AdventNEON references for a drawing and I found this post
As you can see, this guy traced over MY ART, replaced my signature with theirs, and then posted the artwork on Newgrounds
This is my original artwork
I genuinely don't know if to be disappointed or somewhat proud that I'm recognized enough for my art to be STOLEN
I've already sent a message to them but I don't know if they'll even reply, I've never used Newgrounds (in fact, I found out about this stolen artwork literally 3 YEARS after it was posted </333) so I'll have to find a way to report the artwork myself, in the meantime, this is to demonstrate that, no matter how small of an artist you are, people can and will steal, always keep your eyes open
spread dis around
Artist Beware
DO NOT HARASS ANYONE MENTIONED! THAT IS NOT OK!
I hate making call out post and hate drama. This used to be my friend, but they have taken this way to far for my own standards. This must be done.
An artist going by the name of i-make-stuff-i-guess, has been tracing mine and other artist artwork without permission or credit. They have been labeling this art they trace as just “heavily referenced” and that is completely false. They have traced some of my older art that I have made on Instagram back from 2020-2022. Me and many others have tried to tell them to stop, only to be met with being cussed at and our comments being deleted.
They have also gone out of their way to take designs and not even change them in the slightest to at least make it their own thing. All of their Oc refs are either traced from my old work or others ( mainly my work )
Some other artist that have been affected are my friends @/17magpiesinatrenchcoat, @/scarfsfx, @/boompf, @/skytrohero and many others who would like to stay anonymous.
Yang has gone on with this for way too long and it has affected us mentally.
Again, DO NOT HARASS THEM OR ATTACK THEM!! Just report the traced work and block them.
Now, I will be taking a break for the rest of the month. My head hurts, I am beyond mad, and I am losing my will to draw. See you all in August. Please spread this around so no one else is affected by their toxic behavior.
I present to you all, the worst thing I have ever created
!PROBABLY A TOTK SPOILER!
So I did a thing
!DISCLAIMER!
This is traced artwork! However, I did get the OG creators permission before posting
