Case #18 - XelNc [ now IRDesigns ]

This is your most common theft. A user by the name of "XelNc" is taking random drawings from different users on deviantart and trying to sell them as premades.


The posts were removed from the "GASR Premade Market" but luckily I screencapped them.


Her original post


She removed premade #1 + premade #2 but you can see them here when Mooncat quoted her.
First let's look at Premade #4 




This premade is actually taken from Mariyumi on deviantart.
See it for youself
Next Premade #1 
Is taken from alicexz on deviantart.
See it for yourself.

Now I don't know about you but, common sense says that she is not two different people on deviantart (very popular people at that).


Even more convincing a while back (18 weeks ago) I sent a note to Mariyumi concerning another theft of her work and she said that she did not have an account on imvu.




XelNC's account was made in Febuary of 2010.


So Mariyumi herself could not could not be XelNc.


After I sent XelNc a PM about the theft, she didn't even give me a reply and quickly edited her posts in the GASR premade market removing the pictures.
She obviously had a guilty conscience. 
You've been warned.


EDIT - December 15th, 2010.
As you may have seen she now has some BS tutorial shop.
Here's a wonderfully huge screenshot of the whole shop in case she edits it!


See it for yourself
[ note I did not screencap the reviews because there's too many and they aren't really important for our purpose anyways ]


Many people have their doubts about the legitimacy of her tutorials.


No question though she's still stealing. The section that we will be focusing on is her "sketches".


The "sketches" part of her shop.
First we have this picture.
Exhibit A
It is a traced drawing. This is the original photo taken by Scenegirlsrawr @ deviantart
See it for yourself 
Please tell me you can see how obviously traced this is?

If not here's an animation.
Next we have this image...

Exhibit B

This one is also traced. The original artist is becoming-glamour @ deviantart.


Both of these images can be found on the first page of deviantart by looking up "scene".


She spent 50 seconds looking for a picture and then probably 10 minutes tracing it.
"It took me a long time" my ass.

So EVEN today she has not learned her lesson or changed her ways.
She's still stealing and people keep buying. 


EDIT - December 30, 2010


Her old tutorial thread was deleted? Can we call this a victory?!
No. Unfortunately XelNc has come back with a different name [ IRDesigns ] and a new thread.


Here is her name change log.


See it for yourself
Here's a screencap of it in case she decides to abandon ship again c:


Thread was deleted ;_;
Is she up to her same tricks? I wouldn't doubt it.




UPDATE - December 31, 2010


In case you are interested to see what kind of person XelNc is you should look at the drama that took place in the last few moments of her thread to see how she not only didn't take responsibility for her theft but now thinks that to make things better she has to mindlessly accuse random people in the forums [ with no proof might I add ] of theft. Congratulations XelNc you've hit rock bottom.


So yeah Bedlam being "God almighty" and Bus who was probably there for the lulz posted in her new tutorial thread demanding that she come clean for the theft she committed and they both asked for a public apology. 
Bedlam was pretty bitchy as usual but at least somewhat polite.


Bedlam said something like this... [ I didn't screencap it ]


"Bus asked a legitimate question.
Why would you be getting all defensive if you don't have something to hide?
Changing your name and pretending you didn't buy a whole bunch of tutorials that you later ripped of off isn't going to make you look less guilty. 
You want a clean slate well you're going to have to earn it.
How about you come clean once and for all."


Not the exact words of course but you get the idea.
She then responded ever so gracefully. 




So then Bedlam and bus simply tell her if she wants to be left alone that she has to come clean and then everyone will move on. Dodging around the truth will not earn anyone's forgiveness. 


So it came down to two choices. XelNc could choose to try save her skin, ignore what she did, and make Bedlam her "enemy". Or she could come clean and ask for forgiveness. 
As you may have guessed she choose the path of immaturity. Go figure. 


I guess at the very least I owe her the decency to post her apology here. I mean I want to post both sides of the story. This is her long and sad post about how badly she's been treated and how Bedlam wants nothing more than to eat her human flesh.


Click on the picture to see it full size
Here's the small text cause it is hard to read
Bus i did said to bedlam that forgive me and give me one chance i promise that i won't do that things again but i don't know why you guys are not giving me one chance? & bedlam is not listening me she is just repeating previous things which i have did before & i said to her in Pm that sorry but now again she is posting threads in my shop with previous premades *** i know i am wrong before

STOP THE DRAMAAA!
IM SORRRYYY AND LEAVE ME......
I DID WRONG AND STOP HATING AND POSTING
END OF DISCUSSION.." 
  1. First off I'm not "stalking" you. Someone else PM'd me about your name change. Why do people PM me this crap? Because I'm in charge of updating the blog. I'm, however, not the only one who cares about theft in Gasr. Obviously. 
  2. Uhhh that's funny because you've NEVER Pm'd me before. When I confronted you of your first theft you simply edited your posts and gave me no reply back. However, to be fair, you don't owe me an apology. You owe the people you STOLE from an apology. They are the ones who may or may not give you a second chance.
  3. I'm not listening to you? All you said to me was LEAAAVVVEEEEE MEEEEE ALLLOOOONNNNEEE. That's the only thing we've ever said to one another. 
  4. You never gave me a PM so stop acting like you did. 
  5. Okay first off that's not even the picture I'm talking about (look above for the many thefts she has committed) and what about your sketches? No wait those don't apply after that one premade you were a changed woman! Nice taking responsibility for what you did.
  6. So after you do the right thing and you admit your theft now you change gears and start personally attacking me. Oh yes it's a joke that I make free tutorials on youtube. Wow. You have nothing else to call me out on so you pick that? Really? That's the best you can come up with? 
  7. I did not make a website called Gasr? And what sticker? 
  8. You're actions are the only thing that's shameful here. I'm not responsible for those. 
  9. Okay so I'm not so much concerned about the tutorials but what about the fact that you stole premades (like we've seen above) and the afterwards you PM people saying you've changed and then you turn around and start tracing? How again does that prove that you're trying to change? Why should anyone trust anything you try and sell?
  10. I have no desire to be a moderator. I do however, have a lot of respect for those who are moderators. They do a job that I most certainly do not want to do. If I was interested in kissing ass to become a moderator I would not call you out on the forums. All I got was a forum warning. 
  11. You dug your own grave, not me. I hope you have fun lying in it. 
As her final act of vengeance she decides to harass all those who accused her of theft (or took Bedlam's side) by accusing them of theft! Like her word means anything now. Not only that but she calls out Bedlam for trying to be a "GASR police" and then you turn around and do the same thing? Maybe somewhere her head she thinks that if she calls out people she'll look like a good person. Or maybe she's trying to prove some sort of point. The problem is we had proof that she was a thief and she has none. 

Like take Multigasm for example. Multigasm stood up for Bedlam and all of a sudden XelNc barges in her thread and calls her a thief!


Oh wait no of course she turns it around and says "If you're not guilty then neither am I!". She doesn't have anything to prove that Multigasm is a thief in any way. She's just merely trying to prove some sort of point. 



What she doesn't realize is Multigasm didn't steal a whole bunch of art like she did. THAT'S the only reason anyone was ever suspicious of her.  If she was talented herself and made all these tutorials, like she had us believe, then why on earth did she steal so damn much with her own "art". That's the question we want answered. 

Hopefully that's the end of the drama. 
At the end of the day all we got out of this was a sad apology and some finger pointing. 
//sighs

At the very least if you have half a brian you will see what kind of person IRDesigns really is. 
Nothing I could write could convince you of that better than her own actions. 
I apologize for having to act like the GASR police but XelNc had gone too far.
I'm tired of PMing people.

Case #16 - Trundy

Alright so if you where ever part of the GASR crusader chances are you should remember "Trundy" as the girl who was copy+pasting parts of that famous enhancement Bullshet made for Inara.

This is one of the pictures Trundy made.

As you can obviously tell parts from the face where taken from that enhancement.

Anyways this happened in like April of 2010 (??). There was more proof but unfortunately it was lost when the group was bahhletted.

When Bullshet confronted Trundy she admitted what she did closed down her shop and we never herd from her again...


Until just recently.
