This guy was pointed out to me by a complete stranger, and I'm just passing on the word. His gallery is small, but entirely stolen, from the looks of it.

REPORTED!!!

yeah. the one i recognized (with calorath, kaput and preyfar) was already commented and reported by the artist. at least the person wasn't claiming they made it. still. no.

thanks for posting this entry.

x3 Fail. None of that stuff looks remotely similar.

Reported.

One thing I did notice is that there isn't anywhere on there the person says they actually drew the images. Phrases like 'I like rave's' don't at all state they are claiming it for themselves. While they are wrong for posting it without a link to the original artist... they aren't making any claims of 'I did this while I was thinking of my mate back at xxx con and thought it was cool' or something along those lines like people who do steal art...

Does DA allow people to upload art they didn't draw though? I know FA only allows it if you personally commissioned the piece.

Nope, using a DA account as a Photobucket account is strictly verboten.

Just report people like these when you see them. I sopt about 5-6 every week. DeviantART normally bans them rather quickly.
