PSA - Ceph-adopts/ EncephlonShards
Buyer Beware
-----------------------
Da user Ceph-adopts had been discovered to have extremely shady business practices as well as stealing parts of other's art and tracing them. Multiple pieces of her art contain parts ripped from other artists work line by line pieced together with other parts then sold for high prices. These traced works in some cases even contain stolen patterns or photos from google images. On top of those issues, there are multiple customers who didn't receive their art.
------------------------------------- 
Bun-itty on Da did the original Dainty that had it's legs traced
Naschi's reference for curls was also traced. The artist was contacted and told someone that her work is not to be used in for profit work and was extremely upset.
update:
the face was also from a base that was uncredited. I am reaching out to the artist to find out if the Pay to use base was paid for.

another piece using Naschi's work
Edit:
original by Xelalanana on Da
----------------
I believe this one is pieced together and would like anyone who knows who the original artists might be to step forward so that they can know that their work was used in a piece.

On top of these issues with Ceph it theres also an issue with previous scammer like behavior regarding adjusting prices after users had paid 
In addition to this theres another PSA with lots more links to tracing proof as well as a whole slew of other accounts she was taking commissions in addition to recent things. It also covers a variety of other matters. > https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/93002.buyer-beware-ceph-adopts
Theres more screenshots of tracing and customer testimony that are being added on the other PSA
update:
Ceph posted a journal offering to give refunds if people contacted her. However that journal was only up for 6 short hours before she deleted the account.
Not only that but the refunds in some cases were given via goods and services. The fact she sent the money as a goods and service on paypal could put those who recieved the refund at risk of her doing a charge back. also she left no contact info for those who did need refunds after she deactivated. Some people have her paypal email but I am not sure if those people have recieved a response. We suspect she might create an alternate account to do the same things she was before. If that happens I will update the psa with new information.
Will update if anyone is able to get a hold of her through the paypal email for their refunds
You know what. Good on them.
From what I'm seeing at least, this is the most honest and adult response that takes responsibility to bad behaviour that I've seen in a long long time. Gives me some hope.
I hope you can move forward from this and learn from the experience, Ceph-Adopts. I appreciate seeing people acting like this even if it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I respect you a lot more for it.
One last, hopefully, bump and update: Ceph-Adopts, and all her previous accounts, are now Deactivated.
I have the paypal email if someone ever needs it ! I've got my refund so if I can help anyone I'll gladly do so ! I also have their discord though I highly doubt they'll be on on there !
