Art Theft Scam Final Update — classymedallion

The first and second posts I made on this matter

It seems that the classymedallion saga has finally come to an end.

I originally thought they finally blocked me as I was swiping through my tabs and realized they weren't in my dms anymore. But I did a quick search of delizaviinne, along with their sideblogs lo-xu and sapphire-mk, and I was greeted by blank pages stating that the blogs didn't exist.

Of course, not seeing a blog doesn't mean you aren't blocked, so I went the extra mile and logged out to search as a guest and was again greeted by the "this blog doesn't exist" message.

I even logged into my own private blog to access the links in my post about them, as well as searched through a handful of mirror sites, and reverse searched the stolen art to find their posts, but I was unable to find classymedallion or their related names/blogs.

Plus, I did a brief search of the other accts @ai-art-thieves listed in this reblog that followed this same pattern of commission scamming, and none of the blogs appeared.

The cherry on top though? The DeviantArt acct I previously mentioned that contained the same stolen artwork is apparently gone as the link I provided in my first post leads to a 404 page:

So I think it's safe to say classymedallion is gone👏🏽At least for the time being.

The only reason I made this update post is because that user stole art from multiple artists and uploaded that art to multiple platforms, and even went so far to make at least six different sideblogs containing the same stolen art, with @cherrysphinx being their most prominent target. This is an evident case, but a lot of art thieves aren't so brazen to be caught like this, so stay sharp.

If an artist, writer, whatever, approaches you specifically for help with paying bills or rent rather than making a public post about it, that's a red flag.

If they ask for your information instead of providing their own information up front, that's a red flag.

If their posts seem out of sorts, like their blog was full of reblogs of popular posts and nothing else before the posts of their work, that's a red flag.

If the posts of "their" works are back to back within too short of a time frame, that's a red flag.

If you find "their" works on other sites or blogs under a different name, or are unable to find their works under their name at all when doing a reverse search, that's a red flag.

Obviously there are exceptions to these rules, and there are more things to look out for than what I have listed above, but they're still things that should be kept in mind. Know the signs and remember them.

Hey, this account pretended to be you asking for commisions, assuming this isnt you i reported them and thought you might want to know about it as well

That’s not me. Report them for spam.

[cherrysphinx]

I’m thinking a lot of these accounts are run by the same person tbh. I have multiple that are stealing my shit. They all use the same copy pasted post about having rent due.

“rubymexz” is another commissioner scam account stealing art and passing it off as their own.

Excellent catch! Lots of stolen art here

Stolen ar-

MAMMA MIA THAT'S A LOT OF WORK STOLEN FROM ONE PERSON

A lot of the art found on that account is from @cherrysphinx

she is also dealing with another scammer that has been stealing her shit too, so please support her!

Scammers still suck

I was going to send a DMCA notice to patronuniverse for reposting my art, but it requires me to send them my full name and address. What should I do? I don’t want to doxx myself to get them to stop posting my art. I already reported them for spam a long time ago but it didn’t work.

They are scamming people out of money using my art. They are pretending to have “rent being due” they used to be bolder by reposting my commission sheet, but they have stolen some other poor soul’s work for that. I wish there was a more effective way to eliminate scammer accounts. Would anything change if a bunch of people reported them at once?

She’s so pretty ;-;

Some doodles of my oc

Slightly adjusted her design since the last time I drew her

I felt the urge to revise a disappointing shiny. I think near identical shinies are worse than ugly ones.

My shiny Pikachu Crunchwrap was my inspiration. My poor boring little fella…

[cherrysphinx]

By the way this isn’t me. They used a name similar to mine and stole my art. They added an extra “x” at the end of my name.

There is also another one! They just added a hyphen in my name between cherry and sphinx.

Please don’t send them any money for any reason. But please report them because I want to evaporate them off the face of the earth.

Edit: they blocked me. They changed their name. The banner and profile pic are changed.

But they are still using my image to advertise commissions.

Redesigning some of my characters to fit in a bit more with my comic. Idk if the comic will ever come out, but I can dream.

She is very girl failure. I love her.

Made a Sketchy pixel doodle of Usagi

Whenever I see an anime character with interesting hair, I think about them doing their hair in the morning.

Sorry for the crop. Had to crop the table out of it because I don’t have a scanner.

I was doing a little sketchbook filler idea. What if the eeveelutions had different body proportions based on different canine and dog like animals?

For example: this umbreon with the proportions of a hyena.

Yes, I do realize I just made mightyena again.
