Help With Art Theft?

Terms of Service and FAQ Hey guys! I recently started up a DA mid-pandemic so I could shop for adoptables (sort of like digital thrift shopping!) and... Oddly enough, came across a person trying to sell my art. They had completely edited out my watermarks. They took it down when I requested, but their gallery is full of other art that that probably isn't theirs.
I'm not wanting anyone to ream them for this but I do think it's probably best their account get shut down, since all the art is of clearly different styles and therefore, likely also stolen from different artists. I'm curious if y'all can help me ID any of the other stolen pieces so I/we can submit DMCA takedowns.
Pretty sure FA still doesn't allow 'callout' posts so I won't link directly to their gallery unless/until I'm sure I can, but here's a link to the remainder of their 'sales': https://media.discordapp.net/attach.....amp;height=443
Do you recognize any of these designs?
Thanks,
Ink

Also, please, stop calling it art theft. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_theft
It's copyright infringement and, when selling it, most likely fraud (I'm no lawyer).
Too bad such people usually don't face legal actions :(
