Mahoukarp

[therainroguedoodles]

Join the shorkie cult, we have tacos

Go follow MahoukarpTV on twitch! He makes the cutest shark-themed art.He’s a cool, funny and super talented sea dragon that may also be a cult leader. Should you join his cult, you might wanna eat first.

[lettythepetty]

Uh, hey guys. So this video popped up in my recommendations, and it's supposed to be a "compilation of cult of the lamb posts", but it's actually just a bunch of stolen art with no credits whatsoever (dude didn't even bother to add some music to It and pretend it's an old school amv... /j)

So yeah these are all the artists I could find through reverse-search (but if you're a COTL artist, it's probably a good idea to still check to see if your art is there, since i couldn't find every artist):

Tracing, Copying and Referencing: Ugigiugi and Artist Transparency.

As I've said in my previous posts I was going to go over the differences between tracing, copying, and referencing and explain what is wrong with Ugigiugi's artwork. This is going to be a long post so if you have the time and hit the "Keep Reading" button..

To start, I'm going to provide an visual explanation of this subject to clarify what counts as tracing, what counts as copying, and what counts as referencing. I will post both the original Instagram link and repost the the examples. Thanks to Chihiro Howe for putting this visual aid together: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZP2McJU4M/ by Chihiro Howe

With this in mind, let's go over the issue with Ugigiugi. I'll be providing further examples of the sourced/traced art we have here on Tumblr. Mahoukarp’s animals Vs. Ugigiugi Twst-Character animals.

Here is an overlay of Mahoukarp's croc VS the one Ugigiugi drew:

As you can see this is tracing with the only minor changes being the addition of a white outline, adding Sebek's bangs, and changing the eye color. Even with these tweaks, the majority of the artwork is still the same in both pose and style. This is still tracing. Let’s move onto the next sample. 村上 comic panels Vs. Ugigiugi’s comic panels.

This is one I originally sourced when this situation began to unfold: This is actually a mix of both tracing and copying. Certain sections of the comic are traced and altered in certain areas so they are not 1 to 1 (e.g the lose of details on Azul's bowtie and the fingers, the "shading" and the Altering of some expressions). Let’s look at one more sample. メディ image Vs. Ugigiugi’s Image

Again, despite the fact that some details have been altered, replaced Yuu with her self-insert, altered the scaling, and shrunk down Crowley, it's still more tracing. Now comes the issue at hand...

As I stated in my previous post, a number of Japanese fan artists Ugigiugi traces from have strict rules of no reproduction/tracing.

No matter what type of artist you are, it is important to respect each other and the boundaries people set on their art. Some of us create resources to help others. Some of us create for fun. Some of us create to make a living off our skills.

That is not the case here. These artists Ugigiugi takes from all have rules regarding their artwork that she continuously steamrolls over for the sake of her own selfishness. It is not only the mark of a poor artist. It is the mark of a dishonest person.

I've spent the last couple of days mulling over this whole situation, researching and checking messages, mentions, and general inquires related to her most recent update post where she states that she is "stepping away" from social media and issuing two apologies (one on Tumblr and one on Deviant Art).

 Uggiugii’s Tumblr apology   Ugigiugi’s Deviantart Apology. I've read both and I have a response to these apologies. I do not believe Ugigiugi is being sincere. At all. She mentions numerous things in the apologies but my main focus is on the initial sentences and the lack of admission of wrongdoing. 

1) Even if English isn't her first language we have to talk about the fact that she continually refers to her actions as "mistakes". I'll be very blunt here. You can't mistakenly see another person's artwork, copy it to your heard drive, then trace over it and publish it. These aren't mistakes. These are the deliberate decisions and actions of someone with zero accountability and with clear intentions to take something that does not belong to them and repost it for attention and validation. You can be misinformed. You can misunderstand. But that doesn't absolve you of personal responsibility when you are called out, even if you're unaware of the harm you're causing. Intentional or not, Ugigiugi has violated the rules and boundaries set by other artists. Repeatedly. 2) Not once in either of these apologies has she ever acknowledged that she has traced artwork. Not once has she linked an original source she copied. She keeps it vague and undefined as a "mistake" without ever stating directly what it is she is apologizing for. Given this, I can only conclude that she still does not see what she did was wrong or is avoiding the addressing the issue entirely because if she admits guilt, that will call everything she's ever posted into question. When it comes to apologies you need to demonstrate both honesty and transparency for your actions and the steps you will take to make amends. For reference, this is how an apology should work: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-art-of-a-heartfelt-apology-2021041322366 Ugigiugi's apologies do none of that. There is nothing but excuses and accusations and deflections everywhere. There's no acknowledgement of the core issue and nothing but griping for sympathy. And it rings entirely hollow in my ears. When it comes to art, there is no shame in starting at the bottom and working your way up the ladder. You can use online resources, credit other creators if you use things like bases, open resource tools, and tutorials, and you can even ask for feedback to improve. But one thing you need to understand is that every artist has their boundaries. Respecting rules they set is important, especially when they explicitly state "no copying/tracing". You can't build your own skills if you're constantly stealing from others. It weakens you as an artist and it doesn't make you look good to others. As fans of this game, we should be creating for the right reasons, not blatantly taking what doesn't belong to us. The Twisted Wonderland community has already lost a number of fan artists who have closed/deleted their profiles and accounts due to people like Ugigiugi. It is very sad to see talented fans give up and quit because of this reckless selfishness. In the end, I can't tell any of you what to do and if you choose to continue to support her, that is your prerogative but moving forward, I and many others will be blocking her to protect ourselves. That is the price to be paid when you are caught tracing artwork. At the very least I hope this post has given anyone still on the fence something to think about. To make one final thing very clear: While this post is critical of Ugigiugi, it is NOT an endorsement to dox or harass her or any of her followers. I hate that I have to repeat this but I have seen some things in the tags and I can't abide by it. In conclusion, I do hope that the TWST community does take this as a lesson and comes away with a better understanding of what tracing/copying/referencing are and of how to be respectful of artists and fandom spaces. -TwstedPomeTea

I feel bad for mahoukarp

This is an art from Mahoukarp that Ugigiugi traced. It's one of the many that she traced. First she traced from Mahoukarp to make it so it looks like the animals look like twst characters and now she's tracing them to make turning red fanart.

It's still up in her DeviantArt gallery

Is it really that hard to think of original ideas or is it just her? It's not difficult to credit the original artist.

do you follow any artists on tumblr?

I generally use Instagram rather than tumblr for following artists, not all of whom I have cross-followed on here yet, and more often than not, I just like and reblog art from my dash rather than following per se, but here is a brief and by no means complete list of artists I currently follow or check out on here or IG; some are more active on the latter and may no longer be tumblr active, and some of the listed blogs may be personal or side blogs with art rather than just art blogs:

Are you familiar with mahoukarp's work? Their art has been stolen heavily by ugigiugi.

i’ve never heard of that username in my life and user searches lead me to dead ends :/

what platform are they on?

[o-wyrmlight]

1, 6, and 15!

1. Most recent WIP

I'm not currently drawing anything at the moment, but I did just start a new scarf project that has lace in it last night! I had to stop because my wrists were starting to hurt.

6. Which artists inspire you right now?

There's a few artists on Twitter and Tumblr who do incredibly amazing art. A few of the artists on the Snowbound Zine have incredible art that I want to try to learn from. There's also an artist--Wolfey?--who's been doing animatics for Epic: The Musical and has really cool anatomy and character studies on their Twitter. I've also seen clips of Norin/Mahoukarp, an artist V-Tuber, who does super cute lineless art of animals and Pokemon and stuff. They're also on Tumblr, I think.

Basically if I see a cool piece of art, expect me to be inspired by it in one way or another, lol

15. Artist pet peeves?

That's a bit of a loaded question... I don't really know if I have any pet peeves? The biggest ones I can think of is that I'm bothered when people change a character's skin color and I don't like it when kids are bullied over art. For the skin color thing, it's mostly when people take a POC character or POC-inspired character and then whitewash them.

But I'm admittedly white myself, so it's not really something I can state my opinion on for an absolute fact. It does, however, lead me to try to go out of my way to not whitewash characters because I do believe that representation is important, and respecting that representation equally so.
