WHO: Kee/Kyme/Inarolyn/Iaz/Janks/Len/Neicom

WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kee (all the above are also FA accounts that she has hopped between, but Kee is her current).

WHAT: Tracing. Most of the traces are partial and have been "frankensteined".

WHEN: This has been going on for awhile from what I have been able to figure.

EXPLAIN: Again, I was asked to post this here by several people after compiling multiple instances of her tracing of recent. A lot of people felt a public warning should be made, since she jumps accounts quite frequently. She's also traced several times in the past, but I haven't been able to locate the originals.

As an example, this is art from five-six months ago that she drew while living with me:

She's never traced while living with me because I had gotten onto her in the past for copying other artists.

These are the traces I've found evidence of:

Almost all the traces have been of artists whom she's watching, the only exception being my own art.

Suspected traces:

There were a few others that were TCBY commissions that I am certain were traced, but I never saved the files.

As is evidenced, her anatomy flipflops from really well done, to filled with errors. If anyone can provide originals for some of the suspected traces, it'd be appreciated as well. NO ONE improves that greatly in a five month period, drawing as rarely as she does. I don't think everything she uploads/draws is traced, but much of it is.

Edit: Here's some more overlays with varying opacity's to give a clearer idea of where the lines are a perfect match.

Edit2:
I'm redacting my allegations of tracing, as I really don't want to be involved in any drama with this person to start with.

Edit3: I'm sorry, to make it more clear, I am retracting my allegations as there isn't sufficient evidence of tracing going on. I have posted apologies here and on FA.

Fixed overlays with proper aspect ratio:

Here it is in 3 different colors, still matching in the same areas. (I rotated it quickly, so it's not the exact same as the other overlays, but I'm too tired to redo all this again just to be perfect for the naysayers).

There is no WAY any of the above have been distorted, as I did use the shift key as I was told.

You just don't get it! 1 - they do not line up perfectly, 2 - there are very few points where they line up period, 3 - I don't know you, or your past with this artist, or the artist herself and I was one of the first to disagree. This is not due to some bias on my part, this is due to insufficient evidence.

Furthermore, in my post above I showed how you were having relatively few landmarks line up. Guess what, no matter what you can get two landmarks as two points define a line. If you get a third in there you lucked out - probably because the poses are similar. That is coincidence or referencing, not tracing.

If you really don't think you're twisting our words, you wouldn't have "encouraged" people to come to A_B after you bumped it off the main page, and would have included a link.

This is still your problem as you're making this a beware about yourself through your childish behavior.

They all have points that match perfectly. And I've already gone over this several times with you about how the ratios match. I don't want to continue arguing my case when it's obvious that, for some reason, you can't see it, even if giant red arrows pointing to it. I was actually told by someone to redline the exact parts that are overlaping with neon green lines to make it more evident, but I didn't feel it was necessary.

I made it public knowledge that I posted to A_B, and anyone can come here and see what exactly was said. I never discourage anyone not to.

I don't want to get banned/suspended for linking to someone about an FA user, which is what my LAST suspension was from.

You are right, they have single points, not lines. It is easy to have single points line up, but even the parts with read arrows for some of them do not line up exactly. For the millionth time, I have seen the similarities and have acknowledged them, but don't think they mean that the piece is traced. Maybe it's you that needs to reexamine the case when so many people are disagreeing. Particularly because, as I said, I had no bias against you.

Then talk to the admins about it! Say you want to do it to provide context and see what they have to say! There's also a difference between - here is the entry in question, and "go there and defend ____," which I'm guessing is what got you banned.

There are complete lines that match perfectly (see my response to sigil about the trace off Dipper and my own art).

I've heard several times that linking to A_B can get people suspended, and I'd rather not tempt fate.

And not, it was not a "go attack this person/go defend this person!" style post. It was an explanation as to a horrible situation I got trapped in with a user. I have never sent anyone after anyone else ever.

They don't! They don't line up!

In this one - http://i44.tinypic.com/s1kksm.jpg (NSFW) The top two arrows point to the hip don't line up, nor do the top two to three arrows of the chest, and I'm just doing the first one because I don't have the time to go through all of them. If I were to really look hard, I'd say even the fourth arrow down on the hip doesn't line up, even the fifth arrow on the hip only references a point, not a line.

The lines do not line up perfectly.
