Design Thief (wish_dat_floof)

Posted 3 years, 10 months ago (Edited 3 years, 10 months ago) by huddson

hi, wish_dat_floof is a design/character thief. many of the designs in her "designs" section were taken from people on ChickenSmoothie and in two cases, a signature has been edited clean out.

all of my proof is here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/12DuwACw3Mz_bWAH-uAzbQjaE38ZgJqYIOXO6Rq32eQ8/edit), in a Google Doc compiled by one of the artists who had their designs stolen and re-sold. please note that there may yet be more stolen designs in Wish's design gallery that we weren't able to identify.

on this design (https://toyhou.se/5254185.coral#17539782) the signature was edited out. the original can be seen here (https://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4194979). the same goes for this design (https://toyhou.se/5195701.mabel-#17362350) where the original is here (https://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=125&t=4182671)

please don't harass the people who unknowingly bought these stolen designs, as they've all already been notified. thank you for your time, have a good day, and don't support art thieves!

edit: found out another design had a signature edited out as well, edited to properly word this and add a new sentence

I recognized the lines and, after noticing that their oekaki gallery has no art in it, found another one of the characters they've stolen - "Their" Anthro Wolf OTA design (not currently accessible, which I believe means the character is still on their account and hasn't been wrongfully sold off to someone else) is actually this one, designed by Moonpaw8033 on Chicken Smoothie and owned by snails (formerly gnashing teeth) on the same site.

To be frank, I would be shocked to find that even a single one of the designs credited to them (especially those which they pawned off onto others) were actually designed by them; they're all incredibly inconsistent in style, they have no art in their gallery on Chicken Smoothie where many of these designs/lines originate from, what art they have posted on instagram and amino is mostly traditional or digital headshots, and more than a few of them come from closed species which they are clearly not an artist for when considering both the species' staff lists not including them and the site's rules on posting adopts under covers on oekaki.

Their characters all appear to be frozen. Though, that's not to say they won't be able to try to get around that. Would at least give any buyers pause.

Also ironic they say not to steal their stuff when there is reasonable suspicion all their stuff is stolen.

AsoraamFeire mhm, the characters were frozen when we found this out. and yeah, the irony kills me

I know this is a while back, but I'm still upset that they stole my character too. https://toyhou.se/4358970.rex


At least they got caught, still sucks though. :/
Also, heavily agreeing with Mortymer

UPDATE: now at datfloof! will be reporting them again

huddson

datfloof at the very least, can you credit your characters properly? Sunkist has Weeg credited in the description, but not the image or the actual section where, you know, you credit the designer, and i know that that's not the only character where it's like that

huddson

datfloof in that case, you shouldn't upload them until you've found a way to credit them. at the moment, most/all of your characters are credited to you, both in art and design, and you don't even mention that you aren't the creator. please go search for the creators and artists before you upload any more characters

D u d e, I didn't know someone had stolen one of my designs. Even if that was a base-

Kinda wish someone could've told me so I could block them on CS TBH
