@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

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.
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.

This one is short and part 2 may be made at a later date. Seeing as Shultz is actively targeting Sonia again.
The following image was compiled by another artist. It showcases Delaney stealing specific details from the targeted art piece. Delaney is known for doing this. It can be one post from another artist she plagiarizes and takes their accessories from another piece. It’s.. weird? We’d be completely fine with it being “inspired” but she’s tarnished her reputation to actually reference other artists. Her behavior is unsettling, and she is known to be unhinged. Do not ever engage with her. She is known for doxxing, filing false DMCA reports, and stalking. In the disclaimer above it has been proven that she does trace in the video provided with her little slip up of Babs’ art popping up for a mere half second. Nice catch!
The Sailor Moon image garnered a lot of attention which only fueled Shultz more thinking she’d “gone viral”. It’s creepy.
Another example, again, if she wasn’t infamous for stealing and had changed her behavior with apologies, this would be filed under inspiration. But that word has been so misused for her entire portfolio.
