http://bellalarose42.deviantart.com/ has stolen YoukaiYume's artwork. Even when YoukaiYume asked the person to remove it she responded by...

"I am sorry but i already edited them and have no intention to remove them...if you wish i will put your name in the descriptiob ut i refuse to remove them"

If you have a DeviantART, report her. She had already responded to me by saying that if something happens to her on DeviantART, she's going to put it on Photobucket.

WTF????!!!!!

Is she like five or something?

Found out that she might just remove it. I don't care. Report her anyway. I'm scared to have her on DeviantART.

She used YoukaiYume's artwork and killed it with her editing. Plus has a nerve to complain that she will be forced to remove it. Which part of "its not yours" she cant comprehend?

She acted as if it was her right to simply edit the colours and claim it as hers. Apparently she is someone that doesn't have any common sensee.

I reported her. I'm really digusted that she did this. I hate people like that.

Haha, she said that even if we do manage to get her out of DeviantART. She has it posted on other sites such as Photoshop.

Since she edited it, she told me that those pictures are rightfully hers.

I'm not the type of person to swear but. BITCH. No.

What the hell is wrong with her?! Is she serious?

i went i saw i commented, more so i told YY too.

i reported. thats just sad.

Wow...just, wow. Sadly she's not the only one on the Internets that I've seen mucking around with Yume's (and other rather well known artists) artwork.

Er, I'm a DeviantArt n00b though, how do you report someone? Through email?

i think im going to start stealing other people's kagsess pics and horribly coloring kags hair in microsoft paint. i like to live on the edge.

On the side of the artist comment you should see things like when she posted it and how many comments the picture has. Way top in blue you should see report Deviation.

click on the pic and over to the right theres a box thar says report this deviation click on it and fill it out.

Got it. Thanks!

This is just sad...really...if I see one more messed up artwork, well, I'm not sure what else I can do but report her again. *sighs* Geez...

I took a look at her 'artwork' and the editing is terrible. It's as if she edited them with MSPaint. The Kagome in each of the pics is supposedly her 'OC' Laya. Everybody else who sees this should report her. She has some nerve stating she'll put these knock-offs in Photobucket. If she puts them there, anyone who has a Photobucket account should report her there as well.

Oh, man, I'm getting flashbacks of that so-called 'writer' ChristianWestonChandler aka GaryCoIeman aka HidekiTojo stealing the titles and summaries of some very stories and putting garbage in their places in various categories such as Inuyasha, Twilight, Spongebob Squarepants and many others. *shudders*

I was thinking exactly the same thing! That guy was so awful!

Hey guys,

Let's not beat a dead horse here. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I know numerous youkai yume fans will be reporting this violation. As a great admirer of her work, I have as well. However, we don't need to keep posting our own personal comments here about it, and some of them are getting right nasty, which is inappropriate for Dokuga.

So, report her to the staff at DA, but let's keep all comments here down to a minimum. If it's already been said, we don't need to say it again. I like to keep Dokuga happy and civil

I meant to say 'very good stories'. This is a bad habit of mine when I type too fast, I end up missing a few words.

DeviantART has gotten a lot better about removing stolen work lately and I am certain they'll take care of it soon. Manipulating a picture does not make it entirely yours and this young woman knows it.

That being said, let's not get carried away in this thread, but just keep one another up to date on the happenings without resorting to anger or cursing. This sort of thing is not new and while it will always be perennially offensive, let's not let it get to us and let the appropriate parties do their work to handle it.

they removed her gallery the pics are just on her homepage now.

I don't like theives...but what Lady B and Priestess Skye said is true.

I agree with Lady B and Skye as well. ^_^

when you got to the offending work there's a light blue link right above the info like date artist put work up, how many favs/ comments ect. its below the work and on the right side above the comments field. Click it, and its pretty easy from there. You just give a link of the work, original and comment if you want, put how badly the work was stolen. etc. DA makes it simple in their way ^_^

SORRY! i didn't know we were done, i just replied to what i had on screen at the time, wow, YY does have such loyal fans ^_^

Kwee.... I'm sorry for all the mean comments.... >.< safe and happy. Remember... safe and happy.

Right, be nice but keep each other updated.

Okay. Got it.

It appears that it has been dealt with by the deviantART staff. Everyone should be pleased and there should be no further need for anger or reporting her violations. Now everyone think of adorable, fluffy Opo-mokos or fresh baked cookies
