The Gist- The person in question started out as Eros, using a well known blue dragon, who at that point was only using Kik and its tag groups. He would stalk ZeroMcCall’s profile and save the art he posted. Mind you, he does this to every single artist on his watch list, it’s not just us. It lead to other people saving the pictures and using them in profile pictures. Most were unfortunately, owned by the artist’s significant other, AyaMcCall. When confronted, she was blocked by the thieves, but was still in groups with them.
This is where the lying starts, as “Eros” claims that he never actually posted the art in groups, but he had them saved on his phone, being given permission to save and/or post, false rumors spread against him that lead to bullying, and the strangest one of all, “Eros” claiming that I was once like a sister to him; I was in a group with him but never spoke to him until he began to steal art.
His words when being spoken to: “Bleh I’ll save your art anyway”
(Personal note: I’ll own up to using harsh words when confronting “Eros”. I take responsibility of calling out a liar and a thief. My actions are my own, but I never sent anyone after him. I never made a public post with his information, until this beware now, years later. I wish I had done it sooner.)
Proof of character theft- https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23094980/ (NSFW Warning)
Owen routinely claims that he never really claimed the characters of Zero’s, but here he is, using two pieces from different artists that my brother commissioned. This guy also frequently roleplays with “close friends”, as his profile states.
There was screenshots proof of his roplay with Zero’s OC “Nathan”, but I will admit that has been lost.
Still to this day, Owen continues to save art and spread it around his telegram groups; no link back or credit is ever given to the pieces. It is only ever along the lines of, “credit goes to respective artist”. Even though he said it himself, that he would no longer steal our personal art, that promise was broken. He specifically targets Zero McCall’s art (no real specifics, OC’s, fanart, commissions, he takes them all), which he has admitted to doing in the past out of spite. Even going as far as to post pictures with blatant obnoxious watermarks that say “do not steal”. His tactics of excuses include believing that sharing personal art with the watermarks is free advertising for us and not understanding that personal art wasn’t for “sharing”. Owen has even began to repeatedly delete his Telegram groups to make another.
This all came out when Aya McCall posted on Twitter, tagging Owen/Jonhy about posting a comic that Zero McCall gifted me for my birthday.

Not only was he sharing my art that we specifically told him to not spread, but he decided to slander my name on Telegram and Twitter. My personal issues are with him, I have not used white knight tactics to bully him; Owen isn’t worth it. But I still have to write this and spread the information about this toxic person. It’s isn’t exclusive to Zero, Aya, and I. It’s every artist he comes in contact with. He will talk behind people’s back, while making up lies and excuses and has proven to show no signs of stopping.
