You can support my art even further at
Candy's Parlor, where even more kinky stuff awaits, plus many benefits for higher patrons, but any patron will receive my unconditional love and gratitude :3
Candy's Parlor, where even more kinky stuff awaits, plus many benefits for higher patrons, but any patron will receive my unconditional love and gratitude :3 First of all, I would like a special "thank you" to Furaffinity's Moderators/Admins for bearing through my many Trouble Tickets showing the horrendous copies and my... peculiar NSFW artwork so I can have justice delivered to a crude artist who took fun (and profit) from claiming credit over my artwork.
Obviously I can't and won't share the name of the artist as this would fall under harassment, but still, THANK YOU guys for helping me out. Seeing my hard work becoming a source of profit to someone else without getting one tiny IOTA of appreciation or bare mention about where he got it from was really unnerving.
And if you're the aforementioned artist and are reading this journal, I hope you learned your lesson, because I'm keeping an eye on you.
As for now, over A DOZEN pics were removed once I proved they were copies of pre-existing pictures and showed which one.

And there were so many liek this, matching the linework, veins, muscles, everything. And there was NO CREDIT given whatsoever, no mention, some pics were even COMMISSIONS. And when he posted another and I pointed out, didn't take him 2 minutes to delete it himself.
I understand your point of view, defending a friend or acquaintance at least, but I'm afraid the evidence is too much to deny. Give credit to FA's staff, they are not idiots.
Giving credit to the staff is something I have been relatively wary of since I have been coming to them several times over some more "radical" people and also one artist who has a history of drawing cub art but the staff waived it off as "cute style" despite previous reports about them drawing cub art. Plus I have dealt with someone who will make callout journals, have them up for a moment at most and then delete them so they can't get punished by the staff and they set their furaffinity so that the archive.today that the staff recommends to use is rendered useless against them.
watchers came after me thinking i was the one who got him suspended, and sadly
even if it were a legit reason, the brown nosers seem to not want to accept the facts are
true, and i told him he had to go ask the Mods about it.
One thing i dislike the most is people tracing other peoples art.
Using them for refs are different, at least they are learning something but
literately ripping it off and lying to the people who are buying the art is very dirty.
Thats low of the low. I wont respect that.
Glad you got it situated. I had moments like that in the past.
The only thing i have to watch out for now is internet stalkers.
Yeah i tend to get those surprisingly.
i found his WIP for one of the pictures you claimed he traced and one that you posted in a imgur
The WIP showed his progress of him drawing his arts and there is no mention or layer of your art being used for his
This shows that he has not really traced and that its just conincidence that the pose and muscle size he used just so happens to be similar to yours
He probably didnt know that same pose also existed
i mean if i was to do THAT same pose and body type from scratch, without any knowledge or refs, would that be considered tracing?
no. no it would not. so therefore, these accusations are false and you owe him an apology
