okay so I'll try to not rant too much about this, but it is something that should be spread and noticed.
I just came across this issue, wich one of my found on LJ. It seems there is an 'artist' who vector traces (or photoshops) photos of BJDs, either owner pictures or company pics. I believe most of you know what a BJD is, if not then wisit my doll acount on DA to get a hint: http://neozi.deviantart.com
So after some people noticing her work they told her about this, and first she claimed thts she never ewen heard of those dolls! I mean come on she was registered on the biggest doll community forum! Probably thinking that ower she the said that ow yeah, she uses dolls as reference....what reference? it's clearly a complete trace.
So I'm not gonna take up all your time with this, here is the link to the LJ that has pics and comparing and all that: http://ciaran-chayne.livejournal.com/84246.html?view=740374#t740374
