Description
The art theft case I'm talking about is not related to DA. I post this becase I want to remind our anti-theft fellows that when you find a "source" via reverse search sites like tineye or saucenao, be sure to confirm that it's indeed the original, not another art thief.The user I'm talking about is [link] an art thief on Pixiv. She has four different styles in her gallery, and I recognize most of the arts there. If you seach the arts with [link] you'll only get results linking to her gallery. But that does NOT mean she is the original artist.
The pictures I circled with red are done by a famous fan artist. I don't know her name but in China we call her "δΈη". She draws Prince of Tennis, Hunter X Hunter fanarts and a few others. Her old site's name is "littleportion" and the url used to be "[link] ". Her site is already down so I don't know how to find her or the original links.
The one I circled with blue is from a Fuji X Ryoma fansite. Original site: [link]
Stolen: [link]
Original: [link]

Thanks for the advise. I've been trying to get a thiefs stolen art removed from DA for a few months now, but I can't find the originals online although they're official Ninja Gaiden 2 art, and TineEye didn't work in my favour.

I understand that and have experience too. Years ago I tried to find a Utakata poster which can be seen in every anime magazine, but I can't find that pic online. I still didn't find it.

I take it in your case the stolen art didn't get removed either?

Oh, it's not a stolen art. I just want to find a picture I like but it's no where on the internet.
But yes, I've met a few cases in which stolen arts don't get removed though many users reported them.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your sentence. My bad.
And that's really crappy on DA's part. You;d think after well over a dozen reports DA would think "Hmmm...it's official art and x number of people reported this. We need to check this ourselves and remove this."

In my case it's not official art but a fanart from Pixiv. But it's the same thing. Sometimes DA just does nothing.

Good advise....I think a lot of people forget that many non Japanese use pivix too now =/

Yes. And some Japanese users steal arts too. I've seen some on both DA and Pixiv.

Yes, I've met those too. Some people are using language barrier. But I know Chinese and Japanese, so those cannot fool me.
