chantalvonrosen/nereideondine/valentina montesano / rossana montesano, an art plagiarizer
Valentina/@chantalvonrosen, take down the art you ‘created’ by plagiarizing other people’s original art, commissioned designs, and illustrations.
For anyone curious as to how this artist ‘comes up’ with her designs and illustrations, it’s easy to enough to figure that out: theft. Plagiarism and straight up tracing then claiming they’re her own ideas.
I’ll get right to it.
EXHIBIT A:
1) Original designs:
buntlgas_ on twitter’s princess outfit design (on the right) commissioned by thepartwhere4 (twitter) for the latter’s FF12 OC, Anya aka Adela/Amiria: (LINK)
angeladyart on twitter’s dancer outfit design commissioned by thepartwhere4 (twitter) for the latter’s FF12 OC, Anya aka Adela/Amiria: (LINK)
2) Plagiarized, just straight-up copied designs:
Nereideondine (IG) / nereide_ondine/Valentina Montesano’s (twitter) /chantalvonrosen (tumblr)’s PLAGIARIZED ‘designs’ for her FF12 OC which she claimed to be her own. These are actually reposts because she deleted them when people messaged and commented asking her to take down the plagiarized designs. LINK HERE but i’ll put a photo below in case she tries to delete it:
Blatantly plagiarized. Anyway, onto
EXHIBIT B
1) Original illustration:
buntlgas_ on twitter’s illustration commissioned by thepartwhere4 (twitter) for her FF12 OC, Anya aka Adela/Amiria: (LINK)
2) Plagiarized illustration:
Nereideondine (IG) / nereide_ondine/Valentina Montesano’s (twitter) /chantalvonrosen (tumblr)’s PLAGIARIZED ‘illustration’ for her FF12 OC:
Notice how this post says ‘the Adela / anya challenge begins now.’ There’s something clearly wrong with her. She even admits to trying to make it better than the original... because she clearly plagiarized it. That’s what she’s referring to. Anyway, she deleted this when people asked her to take down the plagiarized illustration. The post just looks like this now: (LINK in case she takes this one down too)
EXHIBIT C
So, she’s got this newest design up on chantalvonrosen.tumblr.com (inb4 she deletes it) where she claims the rest of her designs for her ‘new collection’ are on IG. It seems original enough, right? Nope. A mishmash of Ashe from FF12’s outfit and the princess outfit commissioned for Anya shown above, when CLEARLY the princess outfit commissioned for Anya was not hers to copy. Just refer to the ORIGINAL commissioned art above for references to what was plagiarized. Here’s what she posted: (LINK to the IG post, photo below if removed)
Let’s take a closer look:
Still plagiarized. Adding ‘embellishments’ doesn’t make you less of a thief. “I will aways do better,” she says. Do better to make it look like you’re not plagiarizing, you mean? Maybe don’t plagiarize at all. Stop stealing other people’s outfit design commissions. (And it’s not just outfit design commissions. It’s illustrations, too. More examples below.)
Oh, and what’s that dress to the left? I guess that takes us to
EXHIBIT D
Another design in her new ‘collection,’ right? She posted it separately too so here’s a link for that: (LINK)
Let’s take a closer look:
Still plagiarized. And to make it all worse, one of the artists commissioned to create the original outfit designs (the princess outfit design specifically) actually reached out to her on IG to get her to take them down, but she just blocked her. Also, the artist was already blocked on twitter by the time this plagiarization was discovered. She KNEW what she was doing :) See here, but photo below too: (LINK)
You may have noticed another illustration on the artist’s QRT of the tweet calling out this plagiarizer. Yes, she plagiarized another illustration of the artist’s. Onto
EXHIBIT E
1) Original illustration, a beautiful piece by buntglas_ on twitter again: (LINK)
2) Plagiarized illustration adding Ashe from FF12’s dress design and acting like it’s her own: (LINK but i’ll put the photo below in case she tries to remove it)
Yep. Seeing the pattern here? Anyway, I have no grand conclusion except that @chantalvanrosen (tumblr) / nereide_ondine (twitter) / wantedtiride (twitter) / nereideondine (instagram, but careful because she kept changing usernames when one of the artists posted about the theft) is a thief and a tracer who publishes art and designs and claims they were all her original ideas and work.
NOTE: She offers commissions on her ko-fi where one of her rules is "I decide the pose in which the character will be." See here: (LINK to her ko-fi page, pic below in case she changes urls or whatever)
I mean, this is probably a rule because she has to find someone else’s work she can trace before she can add your character’s details to it. Yikes.
Again, just wanted to show that @chantalvanrosen (tumblr) / nereide_ondine (twitter) / valentina/rossana montesano / wantedtiride (twitter) / nereideondine (instagram) is a thief and a tracer who publishes art and designs and claims they were all her original ideas and work.
I’d be skeptical about commissioning her on ko-fi because she’d probably trace someone else’s work and then you’re stuck with a shitty copy of the original.
Stop stealing, Valentina. Stop publishing outfit designs and illustrations you’ve clearly plagiarized acting like you can do better than the og artists. You can’t do better because you started out from a place of stealing. It’s disgusting and pathetic. Work on your own art for real so you can actually come up with your own designs. Copying other people’s designs then adding embellishments does NOT make you an original creator. It just makes you ... you guessed it, a thief.
