art stealing

[leelastarsky]

Some TWAT has created a gallery of seviet's art at Deviant Art claiming it as her own!

I canNOT believe the gall (and idiocy) of some people!

I once found a girl who had loaded all of Marta's pictures onto Webshots and claimed they were her own. I remember emailing Marta about it and they were taken down the next day.

Please tell me people are flaming this dimwit.

*sigh*
Some people are just idiotic!!!
Your art and Marta's have to be the most seeked/known art in the fandom!

[austenrowling.livejournal.com]

The nerve of some people. I hope action is being taken against this person.

Some people are just SO stupid. OMG, out of curiosity, do tell who it is!

She's actually claiming to BE Marta!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/__hibiscus/]

O_o Wow. She's quite ballsy. Claiming to actually BE the fanartist is a new one for me.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Yes! She goes on about how long it took her to draw/paint some of them! And that some of them are [quote]scruffy!!! *stabs*

[http://users.livejournal.com/__hibiscus/]

She's saying that they're SCRUFFY?! WTF?! I guess criticizing 'her' work lends credibility to the scam. Whatever.

Isn't Martha from Portugal or lives in Portugal? This girls says she from London, maybe that'll be enough to proove she's a fraud.

[http://users.livejournal.com/__hibiscus/]

I'm not entirely sure, but I do believe that you're right, seviet's from Portugal while the scammer's from London. The real Marta left a comment about it.

I don't understand how people can believe that they'll get away with it. I mean, Marta's such a well-known entity in the fandom. You've got to be pretty stupid to rip of a well-known artist.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it, that's so ridiculous. Talk about being disrespectful and just plain.... grr!

[belovedranger.livejournal.com]

That is unreal! How someone could have the gall (and stupidity) to do something like that! Ugh.

[netbyrd.livejournal.com]

The online art scene is really a pile of crap. It really is. It seems like every day, well known people get swiped off of by newbies. And there are so many things I've seen that are just slightly altered pictures from comic books and manga and that How to Draw Manga series. It's like... duh. I know these people seem to want comments on their stuff, buy why would you want praise for something you didn't do? I mean, I'm like ecstatic when I get 4 comments on something, especially if it's something I've never done before, like a certain pose or the folds in clothing or something. It might just be only a few comments, but that is 4 people that liked the thing I tried to do enough to say something. I guess I will never get it. Maybe my conscience is just too massive or something, becuase I have no idea how someone could live with themselves and copy something.

Thats terrible! I have a website at deviant art but I would never claim someone else's work as my own. Marta is so talented, she needs to be given the credit she deserves.

[bug-in-a-rug.livejournal.com]

Ugh. That's just disgusting. It looks like whoever it is has been reported - hopefully they don't do it again...

Plagiarism is awful, disgusting, and downright stupid.

[pili204.livejournal.com]

That's such so horrible. How can anyone claim to be someone there not so blantantly? Those familiar with HP fanart, know Martha's work so I hope they don't believe this impostor.

Can't she be banned from devianart if she's reported?

[tearfulmooncm.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it! That is just horrible! People suck, it's official.

[morethanclever.livejournal.com]

What an idiotic cunt. I really loved the comment Marta left her. I seriously hope the site gets it all sorted out really, really, really soon.

[godrics-h.livejournal.com]

I couldnt get in so i thnk it's already gone. This person obviously didnt know how popular Martas work was, so it's kinda funny (not for poor Marta though!)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Nah, I just tried and it's still there. >~\

[godrics-h.livejournal.com]

Cheers~! Just had a look. They have done quite a bodgey job of it oo havent they!

[santa-elidan.livejournal.com]

I just wonder... well, maybe this lunatic really isn't mental healthy? Her life is so meaningless for her that she started to fantasize. Maybe she got a psychosis? Like those people claiming to be Abraham Lincoln or Napoleon Bonaparte or Jesus Christ. We should offer our help on her site and recommend a good psychologist... ;)

[chesnutella.livejournal.com]

That is so ridiculous - I really don't understand these people ... what is the point? To get complimented on something they didn't draw? What does that tell them, that they have good taste in stolen goods?

[hildigunnur.livejournal.com]

It is just mind boggling. Why are people so stupid?

wow...

[bibliophile20.livejournal.com]

that's pretty high up on the stupid scale. I went to the site and it looked like she had stolen art from more than just Marta; I think there were some other pieces from other people there too. Guess we should be happy she didn't raid leela for 'ideas' *rolls eyes* what's that quote? "Stupid is as stupid does"?

[eska-rina.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* Some people are just too stupid O.o

But it looks like the pictures in the gallery have been deleted - the view-pic stuff is still there, but the pictures are not.

[marmalade-beth.livejournal.com]

The thing is, it's not like Marta isn't already very generous in letting us use her work for icons etc so long as we credit her, isn't that enough? Do we have to steal her work as well?

[vamp-pandorina.livejournal.com]

The hell!?! @!@ What was that person smoking when they thought of that. Like people wouldn't notice. :roll eyes: I just hate that!!!

[aquarius-1977.livejournal.com]

This is just so many kinds of wrong. I checked it out and I was glad to see all kinds of posters coming down on the impostor.

Talk about an attention whore!
