I swear I don't do this on purpose and chasing after art thieves, it's always a coincidence.


But lately I've been scrolling over DA's home page to see the new fanarts made by others, and came upon some Shadaria 'fanarts' sometimes that were CLEARLY recolored/traced over, heck even modified completely to turn the original character drawn into Maria.


The username is NatyRumin.


They claim the arts as their own, and don't even bother crediting others when drawing their characters (IF they don't just claim them as their own).


Been wandering her Shadaria folder most of all and CLEARLY SEE familiar drawings that were traced/recolored/modified. I even spotted one or two traced drawings from LiyuConberma again, but I reported them both and they were removed.


The arts are clearly INCONSISTENT as well backround wise, and the lines on the Maria are clearly traced/modified from another character (most likely Amy).


She even uses her own 'OC' to make recolors/traced/modified fanarts.


This is all just so lame and irrespectful to the original artists who most likely put a lot of efforts into their pieces, just for them to be recolored/traced/modified so...pathetically. Like, DRAW YOURSELF or DON'T DRAW AT ALL. DON'T GO AROUND STEALING/RECOLORING/TRACING/MODIFYING OTHERS' HARD WORK.


You can check out NatyRumin's Shadaria folder here and tell me if I'm crazy, but I swear I see familiar stuff that wasn't drawn by her, and it's not just in her Shadaria folder. (I'm not talking about the Sonic X screenshots/Official Sonic Channel recolors, I'm talking about other artists' fanarts who were recolored/traced/modified over.)

Art thief

2 min read

UPDATE: I managed to convince them alongside my friend to remove all pictures related to her character from their gallery. I also managed to push them to create their own character, which is a good thing. However, they tried to convince me to draw their character for them when I never said even once that I would in our conversation. I ended up blocking them for my own peace of mind. HOWEVER, I do not know if they went back at stealing my friend's character (or someone else's), since bolocked people can't view each other's profil and galleries.


I've been trying to deal with this nicely and only tried to protect my friend MariaTheHedgehoge's owning of her FC Chaos the Hedgehog from an art thief for two days, now.

Chaos The Hedgehog

The art thief also used LiyuConberma's commision drawing she has made for my friend, of Chaos and Amy Rose, without their consent.

Commission for MariaTheHedgehoge (part 1)

And here's a link to the thief's stolen character/drawing:

I can assure you that NEITHER my friend or Liyu gave their consent to this. Chaos already have a backstory MADE BY MY FRIEND.


DO NOT FUCKING STEAL MY FRIEND'S CHARACTER, CLAIM THEM AS YOUR OWN, MAKE UP A ASS BACKSTORY FOR THEM, AND EVEN STEAL SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT, TOO!


Here's a link to the thief's account, because I noticed they have stolen more than my friend's character or Liyu's art piece, they stole MUCH MORE STUFF!

You may block me as much as you want, but I KNOW you're an art thief, you prick! DO NOT STEAL FROM OTHERS!

Yep, you've read the title.


I've made myself accounts at Instagram, Inkbunny, Tumblr and Twitter.


Inkbunny will serve as my way to post more mature themed pieces that I can't post anywhere else much (such as sexuality).


Instagram I mostly only use it to follow someone and read her comic. XD


So, here's links to my other accounts, if you want to follow me there:

Questions allowed:


-Anything that bugs you about my FCs! :


-What do they like? -What kind of music do they listen?


-What's their favorite foods and drinks?


-What's their jobs?


-Etc!


-Naughty questions! :


-Naughty questions are allowed, but do not ask anything TOO personal, or I will not answer to them! -This is also to respect DA rules, as they do not support anything that is considered SEXUAL NSFW! (Not Safe For Work!)

Hey everybody, how are you all doing? :)


If you're asking me how I am doing, I am doing very well. I am healthy as I can be, and if you're wondering where I have been the previous two months, I will summarize it to this: I decided to apply for a summer job at a wonderful camping site called Complexe Atlantide, and I was hired in the Surveillance Department. The experience was absolutely wonderful, there has been more ups than downs for me, and I absolutely adored the experience so much that I am definitely coming back next summer to work there again. :heart: I have made a previous journal about it, and I described practically almost everything that is there, if you are curious:

:star:MAIN MESSAGE, PROJECTS::star:


This is a list of a few projects I will be working on whenever I have time. :)


1. Planning on drawing. --> I haven't drawn much for nearly 2 months! QwQ I missed drawing so much, I hope to be able to draw things again, but I am waiting for inspiration to come. BUT there will definitely be art (mostly colored sketches probably :XD: ), doodles, art concepts (maybe), references and other things.


2. Writing my story(ies). --> While I was working, I did tried to write a couple of lines here and there for my main story (fanfic), Light and Darkness (LaD)(which is also the name of my main/offical personal Sonic AU, where Shadow and Krystal end up together and married with two children).


I'm also trying to work on my other stories, but for now I want to focus on LaD as much as I can, because I'm also planning to...


3. ...Draw a comic out of my fanfic Light and Darkness! --> You read it right! I want to draw my fanfic into a comic, but damn it requires time and skills (especially since I am awkward at drawing certain things, such as action scenes :XD:). I was inspired by Lorena ( :iconcArDoNaNaVaS: ) and her Shadow X Amy Rose comic Love Life (it's such a good comic, and her art style is adorable, she's improving on every single page, go watch her! :heart: ). Idk when I will start drawing the comic, but I am still planning on doing it...I'm just trying to practice drawing the canon Sonic characters first (freackin' Omega is going to be a pain in the butt to draw...X'D).


My friend Jazz too was a big inspiration to try and draw a comic. :heart:


4. Develop and redesigns some of my FCs. --> Nuff said. Most of my FCs that I have already posted on my other account ( :iconSweetFantasyDreams: ) were for a 'medieval' AU I had planned to do with two of my friends, but then things happened and I canceled that said AU.


My main/official personal Sonic AU being Light and Darkness, it isn't set in medieval times. My personal AU, story and stuff related to it mainly takes place 4 years after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, but I prefer to have the timeline be set in 2020 (or 2021, it will depend if I can start my comic before the end of 2020 X'D). Nevertheless, it is still 4 years after the events of Sonic 2k6, and I try to stay as close and as loyal as possible to all of the CCs (Canon Characters) as possible whenever writing or drawing them. I also try to stay as close and loyal as possible to the games concerned for my stuff, but I still make free/personal choices for my stuff/stories (such as adding Zooey the Fox (from the TV series Sonic Boom) as Tails' love interest).


In my opinion, there is always a way to balance canon elements with fan elements. :heart: You just have to be careful, and my advice is to consult other fans that knows a bit more about the Sonic games lore than you if you ever have doubts. ^^


5. Working on other projects with friends. --> I'm not going into full detail because you are all supposed to be aware that I'm doing projects with friends as well. I'm focusing more on my personal stuff random, but I'm still discussing things with my friends and doing stuff with them.





There, you have a slight idea of what my projects are, aside of trying to find a job.


Hopefully it will all entertain you still.



:heart: I love you all, and I missed you all so much!:heart:
