Okay so theres this user on DA named Thebeautifullmoon Who has been watching me for a while. Up until now she hasnt caused me any problems and commented before she faved and whatnot...but today my friend DandereCloud noted me (or at least I SAW it today) about how she's been stealing my character bios and copying my character's designs.
She's apparently copied/stole:
. My way of writing BIOs
. The character bios themselves (except she's mixed up a bunch of things on several of them in an attempt to make them "different") She's stolen information from almost every OC bio in my gallery.
. She's even stolen some of the designs/concepts that my characters have/had in the past. I dont care how old it is. I never gave her permission to use their old designs or concepts.
. She stole the entire "Spirit Bird" concept that took me FOREVER to flesh out and create and turned into a "Spirit Animals" carbon copy.
. She's taken ideas from previous artworks and redrew them with her characters, but still copied my art entirely by doing so. And didnt even credit me for the ideas.
. She's stolen poses and layouts that I use on my BIO cards down to a T.
. She's even stolen my "DO NOT STEAL" warning. (Oh the irony...)
All without my permission.
Even the way her gallery is set up is essentially a copy of what I do. She did NOT have my permission to do any of this.
I'll add that I have noted her this morning (immediately after I saw Roci's note) about this already but she hasnt responded back to me yet.
I mean look at this: thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… You look me in the eye and tell me that this isnt just Ashley with a bunch of my other OC's just mixed in.
And this one: thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… Clearly just a carbon-copy of Melany.
She's done this with almost all of her OC's. Pretty much all of her oc's are copies of mine. UPDATE: Yup...upon further investigation its clear that literally all of her OC's are copies of mine... Among various other things.
I mean look at all these:
thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… (She stole not only the pose but she also stole Aphrodite's entire biography for this...)
thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… (Obviously a copy of Starheart)
thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… (She even stole Stella's pose here...)
thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… (she clearly stole alot of information from Scarlett's bio for this one)
thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… (SHE COPIED OFF OF /TIKIRA/)
thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… (Are you serious...?)
thebeautifullmoon.deviantart.c… (This was originally a LeoxMelany picture that I did a long time ago. The picture itself is in storage now but she clearly stole this idea from me and didnt even credit me for it. Which just shows more so that she's been doing this for a LONG time.)
She's apparently been stealing from me for a long time and I didnt even notice until someone finally pointed out to me enough to look further into her gallery. And she has stolen quite a lot from my work, entirely without my permission.
IDK if she just didnt think I'd notice or if she just thought I'd be flattered or what...but I did notice, and I am NOT flattered at all. If anything I'm almost insulted.
I DIDNT SPEND TIME AND EFFORT MAKING MY OC'S DESIGNS AND WRITING THEIR BIO'S AND COMING UP WITH ALL THE CRAP THAT I CAME UP WITH JUST TO HAVE THEM STOLEN.
DID MY WARNING MEAN ABSOLUTE /SQUAT/ TO YOU?
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN OC, DO IT /ON YOUR OWN/. WITHOUT STEALING.
DONT BASE YOUR OC'S OFF OF MINE BY USING THEIR DESIGNS AND CONCEPTS, EVEN IF THE CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS YOU USED WERE OLD, THEY ARE STILL /MY/ WORK AND YOU STILL WERE NOT GIVEN PERMISSION TO USE THEM.
DONT USE MY CHARACTER BIO'S AND THEN JUST JUMBLE THEM ALL UP LIKE AS IF THAT SUDDENLY MAKES THEM ORIGINAL. IT DOESNT.
AND DONT /EVER/, /EVER/ COPY WHAT I DO EXACTLY HOW I DO IT (such as using my way of writing BIO's or warnings. FIND YOUR OWN WAY OF DOING IT.)
USE YOUR /OWN/ CREATIVITY TO MAKE YOUR OC'S. DONT JUST GO AND STEAL FROM ME.
WHATS THE POINT OF EVEN MAKING AN OC IF YOU'RE JUST GONNA USE OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK TO CREATE IT. ITS STILL STEALING BECAUSE YOU CAME UP WITH ABSOLUTELY /NOTHING/ FOR THIS CHARACTER. YOUR OC'S MIGHT AS WELL JUST BE MY OC'S BECAUSE YOU DIDNT PUT ANY WORK INTO THEM, YOU /STOLE/ MY HARD WORK AND USED IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
I AM NOT FLATTERED.
I AM NOT IMPRESSED.
I AM /FLABBERGASTED/.
I AM /APPALLED/.
I AM /PISSED/.
</rant>
IF YOU DO CONFRONT HER I NEED THIS TO BE HANDLED MATURELY. Dont go calling her names or being deliberately mean to her. She just needs to be educated on how this works. If you guys go off and start being terrible to her, that makes you just as bad as she is and that doesnt solve anything for anybody. PLEASE keep it civil.
*sigh*
I'm gonna go drink a snapple and try to take my mind off of this, calm down a little...
Peace peeps.

Piggy Bank
Hey there! If you’d like to support me and my work, or simply just wanna show your appreciation, please consider contributing to my piggy bank! (Basically my tip jar.) There arent any perks here, but I appreciate you and am immensely grateful for the love and kindness! Thank you so much, and God bless you all! ^^

All right. Who's not dead? Sound off.
So ah...hi everyone lol. It's been a hot minute hasn't it...? ^^; Before I say anything, I would like to sincerely apologize for my sudden disappearence from this site. With all the stuff that went down with DA's Ai program (among other problems I had been having before then which affected my mental health and relationship with this site significantly, which I wont go into here. If you want to know what happened you can dm me) I completely crashed and just...needed to get away from this place. It just wasn't doing me any good to stay and force myself to post here when coming here brought me so much anxiety. So I did what I felt was best for me and checked out for a while. Then after I went ahead and did that, a lot of big changes went down in my life just as the new year started that kinda changed how I prioritized certain things. I now have a dayjob. I have my own place. I'm finally taking my first steps into independence, and while it is very overwhelming, I am immensely grateful
Why I will not be watching Rings of Power
I’ve seen a few people in my general circle ask if I’d be interested in watching the new Amazon LOTR show that's coming out and I’m not entirely sure how to tell them no without being super blunt about it (because truth be told I am repulsed by the fact that Tolkien's work is being desecrated like this by this particular company sO DANG MUCH and tbh I really wish it had just been allowed to go into the public domain instead) AND I DONT WANT TO DO THAT so in an effort to not go off on a gigantic diatribe to them about why I‘m not comfortable supporting this, I’m just gonna make this journal expressing my reasons and getting it off my chest and people can take it or leave it as it is. No shame if you watch this show and like it, I promise I dont hate you if you do and by all means keep watching it if it brings you joy. I am not here to take that away from anyone. But this is where I am at with it currently and I can't sit here and pretend I'm here to support it when I just don't. (That
Lotr OC Development Thoughts
Okay so this wasn’t part of my original plan for Radrien or the fae’s genetics at all but I got an idea and I want to share it with the group pfft. So even if I dont make Radrien‘s hair black (which at this point I might not, even though the idea of giving her dark-ish hair still isn’t out of the question entirely), what if Radrien‘s hair had the same texture as Sanguine’s before she discovered her element? like it was curly/wavy before she found it but after she found it it kinda flattened out as it was turning blue? (And she’s lowkey probably a little salty about it and was so glad that Sanguine ended up with that same texture when she was born.) I only ask because I want Sanguine to kinda be a balanced combo of both her dad and her mom but because her father’s design is kinda up in the air atm I’m having to brainstorm it out. I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT GENETICS DONT WORK LIKE THAT but…they’re faeries pfft. They already dont operate by the rest of the world’s logic by definition so why
Art Goals for 2022
It may not be new years quite yet but I wanted to make a list of the different projects/imrpovement goals I wanna see in my art next year. Heres to hoping I can accomplish what I want to accomplish lol. Finish up the new character references for Eli and the rest of the Salvation cast. I’ve got most of them started in the sketching phase but I’d love to get them all squared away since they’re my firstborns lol. Finish up Aphrodite’s new character reference. It’s in bits and pieces rn but I have all the components at least sketched out. Make new character references for Shade and co. She hasnt gotten a digital reference yet and I think she deserves one. Practice more with perspective/composition and backgrounds. I wanna make my artwork look a bit more cinematic/atmospheric, and while I have made a lot of progress this year, it’s smth I still struggle with. Maybe going a more painterly route would help me but I’m not sure. See if I can figure out a way to streamline my art process so I
