And the second person doesn't even deserve to have their identity hidden because they have full-out denied their bad habits. She was specifically told NOT to submit referenced work to the group. (Well, by her definition of "referenced".) comments.deviantart.com/4/2204…

Exhibit A: gyazo.com/5f9511edc5e15d84e59d…

Many people are accusing this deviant of tracing.

Even if she wasn't tracing and actually eyeballed it 5 pixels off (fkjgewkjtrejrjghjsfgrejg), that does not exclude the fact that it is almost an exact copy of the picture linearted. I'm not sure if you know this, but copying to this level of likeness is also prohibited on dA. Referenced work IS ALLOWED. But there is a broad, broad difference between referencing and copying. When you reference images, you should only be using them to help you draw something--not eyeballing and copying.

By the way, it also doesn't help that this person's entire gallery contains 'referenced images'. I'm surprised no one has reported her as of yet.

A HEEDFUL WARNING FOR ALL MEMBERS: NEVER STEAL ART UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE BANNED FROM THIS GROUP, AND POSSIBLY DEVIANTART. IF YOU EVER FIND STOLEN ART, PLEASE REPORT IT TO US VIA NOTES IMMEDIATELY.

And a heads up for kids who've stolen art--you get one more chance AFTER you remove the stolen/copied/whatever art from your gallery.

Thank you for your attentiveness, Members.
