Suspicious Similarities

[Lil' Sun Leopard 114]

I know this isn't my own art, but I've found some art on the steam art section of Niche that makes me suspicious.

Link here --> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1436992545 

This artwork was created by GLL805 on July 10th, 2018

Then, this artwork was created by briannabulver on April 9th

See the similarities in shape? I have another example of suspiciously similar art from this person, but I might share it later.

I’ve seen some of Brianna’s other art. Really is a shame some people steal/trace art and suspect nobody will know.

 

I’ll let them know it isn’t okay to trace artwork w/o the first artist’s permission. Thanks!

The upper one is beautiful, but the traced just looks funny

It isn't working. I don't know if Midna deleted their own comment, but it's gone now, and Brianna has traced yet again. She's even pretending that she didn't trace, but I can tell by the way she's talking that she's doing a poor job of pretending.

this dude: *traces something*

also this dude "nah lets not bother with the mouth its fine as it is"

[c0ffeebeans 480]

should we make the artists aware of this or do they already know?

[Lil' Sun Leopard 114]

Someone has already tried to call them out on one of their traced art pieces, but the comment got deleted, presumably by the tracer. One of my friends is trying to make them aware again, but the best we can do is report the artwork for being trace art.

Ya. It looks like purple blob.

I've seen all this art and I've never thought it was bad.

I thought they were making a joke. 

But no.

they are claiming this art as not traced art. 

THIEF! 

[c0ffeebeans 480]

"its king ape"

whoever traced this must have seen like 1 playthrough of niche or their like 6-8 years old

(I’m Midna on steam)

I didn’t delete my comment, and when I did kinda call them out they got a little mad. 

T’was on Saturday when I got this and I don’t know whether or not it’s gone.

I used to trace a lot when I was starting to draw.
It helps to get better
But the original artist should always be credited.

this is my exact outlook on tracing, I remember in reception (I think kindergarten for american people??) we traced things all the time and it helped a lot

[Broken 2,507]

All I ever did, was look at a picture and try to draw it.

This kid’s reaction is honestly so funny I cant

[c0ffeebeans 480]

i called the kid out just to make them mad lol. also their ten? isnt that below the age required to join steam ( if there is one i honestly can't remember)

[Lil' Sun Leopard 114]

Don't know, but they act like their a lot younger than 10. Hopefully they stop tracing without crediting

Probably. With most forums I have joined you have to be 12 or something. 

As much as we all want to (especially me! Lol!) , I think provoking them is a bad idea. It should be reported.

i did try reporting them, but all that came up that was close to tracing was identity fraud. i might have been looking at the wrong page though.

( i rarely have to report someone, the last time i actually did report someone was on roblox 5 years ago because someone killed me in a tycoon)

Someone called me ugly in roblox I may have reported them.
