I Believe This Person Has Stolen Hima-papa'a Artwork..........



......But I need your help to prove it.

(I hope this is allowed.)

You see, I was browsing art on DA, when I found this pic: http://amourhetalia.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3h76b3
It looks to me like Himaruya's art, but I need a link to the original to prove it.

I am also sure that this was stolen: http://amourhetalia.deviantart.com/?offset=10#/d3h74yn

I am not as absolutely sure about the rest of the gallery being stolen (http://amourhetalia.deviantart.com/gallery/), but due to the fact that those other two pictures appear to be make all of this person's work suspect.

So, if anyone can confirm that these are stolen, please let me know.

-I feel kind of bad posting this person's gallery here and shaming them, but art theft just makes me sooooo angry.

Hmmm this isn't really appropriate to post here, honestly. /tired of spam on this community

However, the gallery is all stolen from various people, I recognize a few of the pieces in their gallery besides the official art.

I found the link to the Japan one on Himaruya's blog.http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1057.html (it's near the bottom).
Like the comment above mine, I recognize a bit of that stuff from other places

[identity profile] tarafishes.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, that's all(or mostly?) stolen. I can probably get sources for the fanart, but the sources for the official art may take me some time(since I would need to find the original blog posts.)

No need to feel bad--they shouldn't have done it in the first place.

I found the Estonia picture on Hima-papas blog:
This page:
http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-date-201009.html
I'll look around some more.

The one with Austria and Prussia as chibis, I've seen it a few times before, I think on both Pixiv and Zerochan. The narrow picture labeled "another sketch" of Gil in that jacket defiantly isn't hers, but I can't remember if I've seen it on Hima-papas blog or somewhere else. You can tell the artwork isn't hers simply because the style's so inconsistent from picture to picture. The one with Prussia all bandaged up isn't hers either, I've seem that one elsewhere a few times to. Sorry I don't have sources for the fan art mixed in, but I recognize so much of it, it looks like a page on zerochan.

lol @ her signing all 'her' pictures
anyway... this http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=4001718 is the source for one of the pics

[identity profile] bosscookie.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Found another one; http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=5276042

I hate when people steal artwork. >.<

Reporting as many as I can. Hopefully we can get them taken down. :)

[identity profile] miorochi.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Stuff like this makes me very mad. I've seen a lot of those works around too. I'ready went head ad reported her. I hope something can be done about this.

[identity profile] dilemina.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Stolen or not, DeviantART really won't do shit unless the actual artist reports it these days. /knows from experience

[identity profile] dilemina.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
PS: going out an flat out calling her a thief is genius guys. No one ever knows how to just report and move on these days right?

...You'd think that she would at least get the right characters down. Hopefully she'll get over the plagiarism and learn how to do her own thing. :/

....How the heck you can you mix up Sweden and Estonia? Even I got that one when I entered into the series for the first time back in 2008.

I've reported what I can with the links everyone has provided. I don't know if DA will do anything but I do know that if enough drama erupts on the front page the user will deactivate their account. I won't be leaving any comments because I prefer to stay behind the scenes.

Reported! Thanks for the links...

Not only is she a thief, she's a dumb one. That's not Sweden... >.>

[identity profile] gigil12345.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
When I saw the pic I actually thought it was Himaruya-sensei himself... XD

OK, nevermind me.

[identity profile] whak-hat.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
if enough people report this as art theft it will be taken down quicker

[identity profile] whak-hat.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I've reported that one, will you be reporting all of them? If you need more voices then here is a good place to get them

Lol, I found the "messed up kanji" amusing at least. That was some attempt at turning Persona 4 fanwork into Hetalia.

Oops... I just realized I re-posted links some people already posted, sorry ;^^

Do you mind if I post this over at the art theft community?

Also, just a word of advice is to NOT FLAME this person or the people who post praising "her work." Report like mad, but flaming can actually get you suspended/banned for harassment. It also doesn't make you look too mature having your head verbally turn 360 degrees over type.

[identity profile] arctoslupus.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to report a lot of stuff. I wonder if this person is trolling? IDK I never thought anyone would be silly enough to steal official art.

[identity profile] arctoslupus.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
PS should we warn the people who are unaware of this theft and faving their art?

My favorite part of all of this is reading all the comments people are leaving her on her deviantart. Those are awesome guys!

[identity profile] nameru-ja-nai.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
*snicker* Is it sad that I find her obvious edits to be terribly amusing? It's right up there with her fake French and claiming the tegaki piece was 'magenta pencil wash' or some shit.

Read her journal entries. HAHAHA

Haha she even states on her journal entry that the art on her gallery is here. wtf :D

Seriously, the BS this person comes up with.

[identity profile] maybebaby83.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
ok this person is obviously a troll. this is probably the most shoddy attempt at plagiarizing that I've ever seen
