art thief... phz
hey guys, can you help me find the source for this picture?
there's an art thief in DA, see for you self.
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45649898/?qo=3&q=by%3Ahells-shadow&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3A
scraps

please, if anyone have the source do tell.

I don't know the source, but just go to the help desk and report them. The mods on DA aren't dumb enough not to realize the theft. They even have a deviation in there they admit to not having drawn, yet submitted anyway. The quality between that piece and their other work is too far apart not to stand out.

DA don't give a shit about art theft, tracing and all that shit. Ever heard of http://superdemon-inuyasha.deviantart.com/ ? Notorious tracer, on many pictures lines match up 100%, many have reported her, and nothing has happened. But oh well, good luck to the OP.

I want the source too, just because I can never get enough Albel. Busting her would just be a bonus, assuming DA ever gets off their lazy asses.

In the meantime let's post Albel.

I'm actually very surprised DA hasn't had legal action taken against them, with the many people who claim the illustrations of professional artists and sell them as their own :/

Speaking of, who was that girl who traced Disney pics nearly exactly? Someone made an entire web page explaining and comparing in detail how she took official Disney art (from posters, coloring books etc.) and traced them. Did DA ever finally ban that girl? She had a ton of Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast shit. Some of it was right off the front of story books.

Ah, you mean http://disney-bubbles.deviantart.com/. No dA didn't ban her, didn't suspend her, nothing! She took down the pics herself after months of flaming. Proof: http://www.valuablelifelessons.com/art-thief/.

Instead those retarded bastards spend all their time, spying on /i/(7chan), and ban anyone who has any connections with /b/. I got banned because I was an open /b/tard, even tho I followed their rules. I don't even visit /i/! Another /b/tard got a message from a mod who said that our "kind is not welcome on dA". Too bad for them that changing/hiding ip addresses is so easy.

What I always hear about dA is the retarderd moderators and their infinite hate towards nude male art and shounen ai... Looks like the retarded part is true but what about the misandry?

I've had no problems getting people banned. But maybe my reports were just more eloquently phrased or something, I don't know, but not all DA mods are stupid. I'm sure they DO have something against the chans... but um, who doesn't? To be honest, DA went to hell after that whole Jark/Spyed thing.

Seconded. :/

Well, the person is now suspended. If you make a good case to mods, they'll take action. You also need a lot of evidence.

dA has pretty specific "artistic nudity" rules, but counts pretty heavily on the userbase to report infractions. Surprise surprise, the average deviant is more likely to recognize porn--and, for that matter, to be disturbed enough to do something--when it's got a penis involved, than when it's all bewbs.

Very true. To be honest, a lot of DA's shortcomings is the result of a very stupid userbase. Just like any other online community.

Every time I've ever reported art theft it's been resolved within a couple of days. I always have a link to the original.

Tracing is not against DA policy, it says so on the freaking site. Right click save as or putting elements cut from another work is different than just not having an original bone in your body. Sure it's retarded, but them's the breaks. DA is full of tracers, they're just kids that don't know any better or adults with no concept of originality. Send them notes informing them of their follies. After enough harassment they usually change their ways or implode.
