Case #5 - Bullshet

The cruel irony hurts. Yes it does.
I never ever expected to have to post something like this.
She's probably the artist on GASR who has had her work stolen the most. 

Turns out she's stealing as well.

You all probably recognize the picture that Bullshet made for luba.

Here's a picture of her posting it in her shop.

Then one day anonymous found a picture on deviantart with hair much like the picture you see above.


They don't only look similar but they are the same. Sure in the version made by Bullshet for luba she did fiddle with things slightly change a couple of strands but the hairs match up.

An overlay of both pictures.

But wait maybe it's on another account of Bullshet or something like that? The only problem is..
  • The comments on the first pics were from 2009 and Bullshet's pic for Luba is from 2010.
  •  The profile of the first is saying she is 19 and from the UK and she signs her pictures with "Lesley".
  •  Bullshets homepage saying she is called Sabine, is 18 years old and from the Netherlands.
When confronted about it Bullshet did not deny that she copied + pasted the hair and she claims it was just a one time thing.

EDIT - November 13, 2010

Nope it wasn't a one time thing. Bullshet was anything but honest.
While I was searching deviantart I cam across this lovely picture by Angela-T. 

See it for yourself 

Look familiar? Yes that would be where the face came from for luba's picture. She just slapped that face on there and edited it slightly.
Here's an overlay.

Notice how the left eye in this picture barely changes?


EDIT - November 19, 2010
Even more things to add just to further prove it was not a one time thing she did this for pretty much all of her pictures.
Remember that DP that she made for herself?


Here's a screenshot of her asking for pricing help based on a DP that she apparently made for herself.

A drawing made by Feimo on deviantart.


Same shading on the neck (it's not even edited) same facial proportions and you can even see were she used some of the hair from the original.




Chances are the other parts of the DP came from somewhere else too (like the hand / coat + the rest of the hair).
The hand now that you look closely looks very choppy (like it was pasted on) and it doesn't even look like the cigarette is placed properly in that hand..


Here's an overlay to top it off.


That's very disappointing. 
No wonder it only took her like 2 hours to make this art.
Twas nothing but Bullshet.

  9. No wonder I've always thought something was funny about that picture with the cigarette. The face always looked sorta weird angle to me.

  11. If she stole once chances are she stole again.
    We have yet to find any definite proof that her new stuff is stolen but chances they are.
