So it has recently come to my attention that an artist who I follow on Pixilart has had their art stolen by a user named @Wi5h3s. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg though. They have been posting someone else's art. For example this: https://www.pixilart.com/art/spamton-neo-19a7af3655ffdd4 was reposted as this: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/577115646/ But that isn't the only thing they've done. They have set up a shop where they sell other people's art as requests. The description says that while theft and tracing isn't ok, recoloring is fine. Recoloring someone else's art as long as you are acting as if it was your own is apparently ok now. They also mention that it was rushed which is an insult to the original artist. Their icon is stolen as well. It was the staff pick on Pixilart a few days ago. The art in their icon: https://www.pixilart.com/art/hello-starlight-f125320a89986d9 The original artist's links: Their Pixilart: https://www.pixilart.com/nessa27 Their Insta: https://www.insta(delete)gram.com/_nessaruiz27/?hl=es The artist who drew the stolen icon: https://www.pixilart.com/poridet Please support the original artist. If the thief reuploads anything else then please either ignore it or report it.
