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

[schizounicorn.livejournal.com]

......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

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

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.

[schizounicorn.livejournal.com]

Wow, sorry for spamming. >.< I feel kinda silly now.
But yeah, it's definitely stolen.

[schizounicorn.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

[schizounicorn.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

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.

[schizounicorn.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks.

Yeah, the inconsistency of styles set off alarm bells in my mind, too.

Thank you so much for the help.

[misskiramel.livejournal.com]

I love looking through Hima-papa's blog <3<3<3 *dies of cute*
I found another, this one of Prussia:

Is also on Hima-papa's blog, here:

Another one on this page: http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-date-200909.html

Couldn't get all of the fanart(some of it is probably from dA, and it's possible some may be her own, but I doubt it) but:

Instead of leaving messages on the works(as they can easily be deleted) just report as many as you can. I doubt she's going to listen, honestly.

[schizounicorn.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

That's a good idea.

I can also avoid drama that way.

[abovetheruins.livejournal.com]

I hate when people steal artwork. >.<

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

[miorochi.livejournal.com]

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.

[dilemina.livejournal.com]

Stolen or not, DeviantART really won't do shit unless the actual artist reports it these days. /knows from experience

[tsubasafeathers.livejournal.com]

This isn't really spam its more like a warning. If her art is stolen I know that those artists she stole from would like to know. Wouldn't you?

[dilemina.livejournal.com]

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?

[tsubasafeathers.livejournal.com]

Its not silly its HELPFUL!

[tsubasafeathers.livejournal.com]

Ya but by doing this more people can report it. This person wasn't even disrespectful about it.

[helikesitrough.livejournal.com]

...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. :/

[icelilly]

....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.

[anubismito]

Reported! Thanks for the links...
