Nads6969 Victim 14 - Kalisama

Kalisama’s artwork is truly beautiful, combining the simplicity of a bust with swirling, majestic hair styles. This, of course, lends itself to Sailor Moon, so a good deal of their work involves Sailor Moon silhouette busts.

Ms. Stepputat also decided that this artwork was worth taking.

Note the position of the roses.

Again, note the position of the roses (she only traced three of them, but the positioning proves that this is a trace)

Luckily, Kalisama was notified about these two pieces:

And she confronted Ms. Stepputat, who IMMEDIATELY went on damage control:

Highlighted for emphasis – “I only took the head as a reference.  The rest is original.”

I guess the roses just magically appeared on both pieces in the exact same places and sizes then.

Nads6969 Victim 13 - Nijikaze-KrisP

Luckily in the case of Nijikaze-KrisP, this artist was more proactive and dare I say adamant about her rights in the face of Ms. Stepputat’s constant backpedaling, denials, and flat-out lies.  She even created a Sta.sh to document their encounter.

It started with this beautiful sketch here:

https://www.deviantart.com/nijikaze-krisp/art/Moon-Family-Sketch-12980381

And lo and behold, this appeared:

https://sta.sh/02f0y7k1t2x7

And this:

https://sta.sh/026t887s5kln

And this:

https://sta.sh/0szpk2rog0p

For the record, here’s the overlay for the initial sketch and the first trace:

https://sta.sh/01aywk6sxap0

Now check out this conversation here, where Nijikaze-KrisP came forward in a conversation about Ms. Stepputat, mentioning that she’d been a victim of her theft.

https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/381180790/3111458084

In this conversation, Ms. Stepputat has the audacity to ask for proof that she even touched Nijikaze-KrisP’s artwork.  

https://sta.sh/02eqmf07mcyd

Nijikaze-KrisP wrote a journal about the encounter as well:

https://www.deviantart.com/nijikaze-krisp/journal/And-here-we-go-again-253032957

Those snips above are only a fraction of the proof she produced.  Sorry, Ms. Stepputat, you can’t gaslight someone who’s prepared for your “clever” attempts to avoid accusation.  And running to another art/photo-hosting site with stuff you were directly told to take down doesn’t help you.

Nijikaze-KrisP even included a snip of the DMCA notices she filed against Ms. Stepputat on Photobucket, as Ms. Stepputat had fled there to post her traces of the above works.

https://sta.sh/024pmotc48ge

Wow.  It’s a sad day when Photobucket is more helpful in helping its users stand up to art thieves than Deviantart is.
