So lately it seems some dick is trying to profit off of myLe Dragon Noir picture by selling shirts on Petotee. I’ve had various people report to me that they saw it circling through various ads. I myself actually saw an ad for it while I was browsing Instagram. No matter how many times I report it it seems to keep popping up under different names. Looks like this:
It’s obvious the art thief took this off of my redbubble site since that’s the only place I upload the design for t-shirt form with the brush stroke edges. You can see where they shittily removed the watermark in the middle of Toothless cuz there’s a black line going through his arm. The dumbass didn’t even have the wit to remove my artist stamp on the corner WHICH BEARS MY REAL NAME BTW as well as my pseudonym. While it’s an annoyance the only thing I can really do is to keep reporting it where I can. Hopefully if I do it enough times they’ll just give up
I’d like to ask your guy’s favor. If you see an ad for this design floating around on any website like facebook, instagram, etc. that IS NOT myteefury listing, redbubble listing, storenvylistings, society 6 listing, or qwertee listing, under MY NAME (YoukaiYume) PLEASE let me know and give me the link so I can confirm. If you’d like to help further it would mean a lot if you could help me report it and provide the sources listed above. Thanks so much for all of your help, guys!
Updating with some Signs to look for if you suspect it’s a fake! My Le Dragon Artwork will ALWAYS contain my signature stamp at the far left corner of the picture. There are a lot of listings cropping up in other places and fake redbubble accounts that erase the stamp. If you don’t see it in the corner be immediately suspicious.
If the artwork is being displayed in a print, it has a ragged or black edge. I would never sell this art in print form with that edge. Only on shirts.
Another sign is, that because I am the only one who owns the PNG image to this my listing is the only one where the artwork can go on different colors of products and look natural. Stolen listings, because they saved directly off of the sample artwork, will have a black outline around their products. Like so:
Compare this to my original redbubble listing where I can put this on any color and it still looks fine:
Most of the time, these users are probably stealing more than one piece of artwork from other artists so please check out their profile to see if you see any other theft and try to contact the other artists if you recognize their work. It sucks but together we can minimize the damage it does to people. Thanks so much!
