@DelaneysArt is an ART THEFT. LONG POST. PLEASE SHARE & READ.
Lemme start off by saying I only discovered this person cause someone alerted me they plagiarized my cruddy Doja Cat fanart. This woman ACTIVELY steals from BabsDraws, Missupacey, and several other artists. They are RACIST, TRANSPHOBIC, A PLAGIARIST, a STALKER and a SCAMMER. She is currently trying to engage in the Stranger Things fandom as an “Eddissy” shipper. SHE HAS NOT SEEN THE SHOW LMAO.
DO NOT ENGAGE WITH HER. She will harass you on her several alts. Her following is a bunch of horny simps who will die for her. It’s all disgusting. BONUS She caters to pedophiles.
This is from 2019 but she’s been doing this for over 7 years now.
People will try to argue that it’s alright to take and reference from other peoples art. But when they say to stop? When it’s being sold for profit? When it’s all your portfolio is as an artist?? Just copied content?? How are you meant to grow from that? You’re taking other peoples flaws and you’re degrading in quality as an artist. Her art is also super inconsistent. Her commissions are a scam.
She’s active on TWITTER as @laneykiffdraws
Her FACEBOOK is Delaney’s Art
Her PATREON is Delaney’s Art
Her INSTAGRAM is LaneyKiff
She recycles art, she photosmashes pieces together to get one part of anatomy and another part of anatomy to equal one character, and she has stolen art behind a paywall. Claiming she doesn’t “sell the art shes inspired by” which is her weird slogan. “I’m just inspired.” If you took a shot everytime this woman said it you’d be dead.
THESE ARE NOT ALL INSTANCES OF ART THEFT, IF YOU WANT LIVE DOCUMENTATION FOLLOW @LANEYKIFFSTEALS ON TWITTER
BABS DRAWS - VICTIM #1
She is known to RECYCLE POSES.
Claims this one is a commission. Told the client but got no response.We wonder if the clients are in on it. Cause some of them are.
I really don’t want to go on with poor Babs but its a lot
MISSUPACEY - VICTIM #2
THE MISSUPACEY AND BABS COLLAB WE ALL WANTED!
SONIASTEGEMANN VICTIM #3
OTHER VICTIMS

Spider Gwen being sold as stickers and also Lewd behind her Patreon Paywall. The original is by the creator of OWL HOUSE. DANA TERRACE.
I don’t want to make this any longer cause it’s years of bullshit. GENUINELY YEARS. THERES MORE VICTIMS. These are my highlights to help you understand the problem with her.
please i encourage you all to follow https://twitter.com/laneykiffsteals to learn more. My fiance thinks I’m wasting my time but I’m very passionate about helping other artists cause this effects us damn it.
She also takes MONTHS beyond the paypal seller protection program to get commissions out to her clients. If you pay $50 for her art and get something you’d be somewhat lucky I guess to get SOMETHING back but it’s NOT WORTH IT.
Highlighting the photomashing process of Shultz. Hence why this is a part 1.5 as it’s art we’ve seen before but worth noting.
Again support the original artist-: https://www.instagram.com/babsdraws
This is just.. weird. But it shows she takes certain bits of another persons’ art and uses it in her own “interpretation”.
Then there’s this series of images that she hasn’t completed yet. She again takes specific things to recycle them into something else. Tell me this isn’t obsession.
Also the completed images are NSFW and I cannot share the uncensored ones here. I’m sure you can find them as she paywalls them but also leaks her own content.
Face, hair, earrings, arm.
Hair and belt.
Hair and belt. Even the shading of her neck.
Just the hand on this one.
Just the hair and eyebrows, possibly the earrings.
Random, but this art was featured in her tracing proof video.
Babs’ Sticker club theme was butterfly winged fairies. Delaney took the details of those. If you wish to see the evidence of her tracing you can find that here-: https://twitter.com/RikkiMarieT/status/1560461794711322626
And she took Lapis’ hair and features for her “friends” fairy design.
Sorry I haven't posted here in a while - been a busy week ! My original Blackfire design is becoming a T-shirt thanks to Blessed Be Thy Sinners Merch & Designs on Facebook along with my Raven design they're working on ❤️ I just auctioned off my Evil Alice piece, the original design behind my upcoming pins that should be in my hand in 2 weeks 🖤😍 so many blessings coming my way. I'm so humble for this journey and where it's going to take me ❤️ my art page Delaney's Art on Facebook is now up to 513 likes ! That's over 20 new likes in a week ! ❤️❤️❤️
Babsdraws is one of the most notable sources of Delaney’s plagiarism.
Here is a side by side of what has been documented over the years. Support the original artist-: https://www.instagram.com/babsdraws/
There may be pieces missing and this list may be incomplete. I’m only one person running this page currently.
As a disclaimer, there may be overlap to the stolen art, as Delaney will take specific assets from one piece and combine them with another to create a piece. We cannot be certain 100% of the time what the original piece is stolen from due to this photomashing she does. Regardless, Procreate has a feature to insert private layers that do not appear in timelapses. And there has been video evidence of her tracing in a timelapse shared to her Instagram. You may view that video here: https://twitter.com/RikkiMarieT/status/1560461794711322626
Disturbing behavior, as she knows Bab’s is not happy with her plagiarizing her work.
This image is an example of overlap.
Repeat offender example. She’s known to recycle. The client who commissioned the piece on the right has also stolen this character allegedly as they’re a rip off of Bab’s DND character.
Ashleigh is another main source of Delaney’s plagiarism and tracing. Her and Bab’s seem to be the top targets. This was also the instance that Creepshow Art covered Shultz, but we don’t support Shannon as she is scum. It was the only time a ‘big name’ covered Delaney, so far..

If you took a shot anytime she said she was inspired a lot of y’all would be dead. The most embarrassing thing about this situation is someone got Delaney’s plagiarized version tattooed to themselves. As well as the Cowboy Kimiko who is a minor that Delaney often sexualizes.
If it wasn’t for her reputation I would consider this homage/inspo. Unfortunately she tarnished that 8 years ago when she started stealing art.
Another example of Delaney photomashing, Head taken, body added.
