I think she means people that are ripping it and claiming it as their own creation. On another website people are taking her style and trying to say they invented it. No credits back to her just plain thievery.

That's just SO wrong. She puts so many hours of work into her creations and to have someone blatantly ripping them off and claiming it's their work must be very annoying and upsetting.

People ripped your art?! Wth is their problem. Sorry this happened. This is pretty much thieving 

Yeah they try to copy my style for both PFPs and sigs, but it's really difficult to do without my PSDs so they end up with some... badly messed up version of it lol But it's really annoying to basically see whatever style I created mutilated like that ._.

Noooo you're good. You can use any of my style ideas, PSDs if you wanted them, what makes me mad is when someone copies my style and they never ask, they aren't my friend, they try to claim they created the style, and then they ALSO badmouth me and my graphics lol like the person who stole it is someone who is always saying I'm a crappy GFX'er and such but then constantly steals my stuff x.x It doesn't bother me a bit of my friends use any of my work for inspiration, besides my friends never claim the style as their own or don't @ me as the style creator.

Yeah, it's really bad, annoying and a bit depressing when someone mangles your artwork that you've spent hours creating.

Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better.

It's bad enough when someone copies your style and then tries to claim they created it, but for them to go on to say that you're a rubbish GFXer and constantly steals your stuff is seriously out of order.  I think it's a bit of a contradiction for them to say your GFX is rubbish and then go an steal it, they must think it's good or they wouldn't think it worth stealing.

[ReverzerO]

It s pretty normal to be copied because Serey is so popular therefore, anyone with kind heart can tour me on that site? I want to see how popular Serey is and ask her an autograph as her #1 fan

[Sasuke]

Popular or not you can't just steal someone's artwork and claim it as your own.

This particular group is in a harem with some girl who hates Serey because Serey can actually GFX whereas her creations look like a kid made it on Paint. They bash and hate on her, try to steal her art, then claim they created it and try to always frame Ren as a thief. This type of thing is why most all of us left that game.

Agreeeee you can't just steal from someone because you like it. And this group of people is a bunch of pieces of shit.

Fully in agreement especially with that way that group has always acted.

Who is stealing art?

Stealing means by removing the watermark or by removing any names in an art and claim they created. Speaking of removing water mark is another level of learning but it s not a good practice. 

Copying styles doesnt mean stealing! I simply mean this is again another level of learning without the psd or tiff file. 

Anyway, we took this positive if someone copy our style or ask psd or tutorial because they admire or amaze with our work and am no longer new to this kind of situation. 

[Eris]

Nah stealing is taking someones style and saying you created it. 

I know who they are talking about and they take the signatures she's spent hours creating herself and edited them by slapping their names on them and saying they made the shit. 

Even if it was just copying someone's style which its not its way deeper than that, you can't take a style someone else created and claimed you created or invented it when you didn't. It's not flattering it's a bitch move. Period. 
 

Anyway they got banned for exactly that, ripping and stealing because that's what it was.

Defining that stealing or ripping is ok to make the feeling better! Dont know what happen there so I guess I have nothing do with it but it s not good to extend the heat here. 

[Zeref]

I think that still considered ripping and we all who was on the site know who it was about so I will say at least it was dealt with.

PEOPLE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!

[ReverzerO]

The style was already exposed during the age of cs3 and below version, only the layout make changes. Also, I already saw multiple times the blending used therefore the 1st who exposed the idea should be the one to be truely credited. 

Serey is in the middle of this little argument so I need to moderate myself not saying unpleasant words. 

[Eris]

Sereys never ripped anyone's shit and she created her styles herself so let's not come here calling her a ripper or I'm gonna say a lot of not so nice shit.

[ReverzerO]

She has her own unique style. 

[Sakura]

Yeah I never copyed anyone's work what I make for my icon/avys PSDs is things I made myself, experimenting myself, until I came up with colors I liked myself. I'm sure there are similar things because there always are but I didn't STEAL anyone's work.

ANYWAYS

THIS TOPIC IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. 

DO 

NOT 

POST HERE ANYMORE. 

I am not posting art here anymore, in all honesty, I probably won't create anything anymore. It's bad enough with the drama from the other site, listening to people call me names all week, then I come to this forum and people are calling me a ripper. Sure YEAH OKAY. F * C K THAT. I won't be posting here anymore and I might just leave the forum because f * ck this place honestly. 

I don't want to engage with anyone else about it. 

 

[Sakura]

Decided to do some GFX again, made this for a friend on my forum ~

Very simple splatter brushes only, still one of my fave styles though despite the simplicity.
