I know! As an artist who's practiced more than 5 years, I now revel in the fact that I can draw whatever the heck I want from all these references, and I use that power to make things that I can't find or don't find enough of. Using your ability like this is such a waste!
I would be ashamed fr. When i was a kid i did 3 years of painting and drawing classes and when i was getting decent i had to stop. Then i pick it up again as a teenager and sweet baby jesus i felt like i didn't even knew how to hold a pencil,so i am now re learning everything and it kinda sucks a bit,so to train trace and coloring i get free coloring books sometimes artists makes and trace then and transfer to watercolor paper to do my stuff trying to steady my grip and that's it. I'm now on the "how tf proportions work" part of drawing and producing some original stuff but still have to trace to color those free books as i don't have a printer. I am trying to do it every week but turns out getting a degree in chemistry is indeed a time consuming nightmare sometimes.
i’m an artist on instagram and she attacked me for calling her out for her crappy behavior and cannot handle criticism. i’m glad someone finally made a video about this awful artist
Are you okay? I hope everythings has smoothed over. I myself have encountered tracers and art copyers but most kids and dont know better, they aren not like Lany I really hope you are okay now
My friend bought me stickers from this artist's etsy and the reek of cigarettes the second I opened the package made me vomit. They were just supposed to be Taylor Swift stickers but she put some weird Harley Quinn ones with really janky proportions too? My friend left a genuine, honest review on the etsy shop about it and the owner immediately messaged her asking her to delete the review (which is a violation of Etsy's policies.) A sweet, heartfelt gift experience from my friend was ruined by trashy business practices, I wish this video came out before my friend wasted her money.
did you friend delete the review? im pretty sure you can email etsy and let them know the store owner is asking you to violate etsy policies and they can do something about it
does that mean they are also smoking thats just dumb dont smoke while making stickers to sell so unprofessional also what the harley quinn stickers? feel bad
I was stolen from her! This girl is very notorious in certain communities for tracing for commissions and intentionally trying to profit off copied/traced work. Anyone who called her out at the time would get harassed and blocked, including me. She'd use the same excuse every time of "I don't trace." There has never been any apologies to the artists she's stolen from and she account hops every time things blow up. People have docs lined up about her to prevent her from scamming more people in the future. This definitely isn't the first time and won't be the last.
8:30 - “asexual sometimes” - eugh. I could understand if, by this, she meant she felt demisexual, but that went completely out the window when I saw the meme she liked on Twitter.
Demi, Grey, Recipro, theres a lot of labels on the asexual spectrum to fit that meme, sadly is really hard for some people to find their place on the spectrum, even an ace with rejection trauma can end up sexualizing themselves as a trigger response, so is really hard to judge someone with a small lenses when it comes to asexuality, just bc it was easier for some aro/aces to find their label doesn't mean everyone find it that fast. (not defending her tho, it does look like a stalker tactic but just in case is not i can understand the reason of the meme a lot of people are on the spectrum and think they're not)
@G4Godzilla6666 I haven't watched the video yet, but making fun of Asexuals and Aromantics is the same as making fun of someone for being a virgin. It's annoying and no one asked for the persons opinion of their body. (Unless in a joking context) Even freedom of speech has limits. (And before anyone asks. No, you don't have to be a virgin to be Ace 🙂)
@@Rj-27 meme is not making fun, at much is made by someone who is in the spectrum but demi, gray recipro or an ace with hyper sexualization due rejection so in any sense is a coping mechanism or actually part of the spectrum, can’t blame people for not knowing their labels when being ace is complicated enough. 🫡
I’m Demi romantic and I wasn’t actually aware till I gained a crush on a close friend Ngl going from no romantic thoughts to getting them bout one person is kinda scary and I’m still trying to understand it I used to say I was aromantic Honestly I was like “tf do u mean demisexual” as well but then they meant every now and then
10 years is wild. Seriously. Someone else mentioned this but- she could have spent 10 years improving her art to the point where she doesn’t need to steal for her own art.
The fact that people choose to STEAL + Use AI instead of learning and improving their art is clear evidence of how desperate people are for attention and choose not to actually put in work
@@vxinl "bUt aI iS mUcH fAsTeR!" "How will I make tons and tons of money if I don't mass produce off of stealing everyone's hard work? Then telling them they don't deserve the credit they get because ai is stronger." 🧐 (I'm joking if it's not clear 😅) Also hello reddit because I know those ai bros will post this since they always do. 🤗
The collab between me and babs no one asked for. Anyways thanks for giving awareness about this person, shes been stalking me for UUUH almost 5 years now and i really appreciate when anyone ever speaks up. The only way to combat plagiarism is to call it out. thanks again- sugar and her stream
@@katliente honestly, its been rough she really rewired my brain. But dont be too sad i have made wonderful life long friends because of her and am in overall a better place :)
See you’re the one stalking me and my records ?? I was 13 and I was being bullied, and it’s been handled and dealt with. But I’m sure you’re perfect 💖👏🏻
Claiming you're asexual and then outing someone for being trans is appalling. I'm asexual/aro/ace and would NEVER do such a thing. I would ride at dawn for all my fellow LGBTQA+ peeps.
this is a massive W on ur side, delaney is clinically insane basically. any lgbtq+ person that discriminates against any kind of sexuality or gemder is nuts(and i dont mean stuff like "i hate [some terrible lgbtq+ person who did horrendous things] but i respect and like anyone who has the same sexuality as they do.", i mean full on "i hate gays/trans people/aces/whatever the heck else" sorta people. she also claimed she isnt a transphobe... after intentionally misgendering someone, she believed at the moment, was trans?? crazy bruh...
I'm ace and would do it. Why lie? My fellow LGB+ peeps don't want conversion therapy to come back, like the trans community is wanting. Saying a man who identifies as a woman is a "lesbian" lmao. Men keep trying to force lesbians to get with them. Disgusting.
I agree to an extent, but just because someone is transphobic, it doesn’t mean they can’t be ace. The idea that we can take away someone’s identity for being a bad person is a dangerous idea to put out there. Same with the idea of a “queerbaiter”. Keep in mind that I say this as an aroace enby.
@@Neon.Space.Alien. Also sexuality is not personality. Queer people can suck as a person just as non queer people can suck as a person. We should judge people on their personality and values, not on their sexual interests. Both extreme sides are disgusting and ignorant imo. People are more than their sexual identity.
I’m on both the ace-spectrum and aro-spectrum and honestly I don’t think any part of that should be part of any callout. Asexuality is as broad a spectrum as any other and can be experienced in a multitude of different ways. Her comments about “not being les” are definitely off putting though LOL
Fully agree with this I genuinely don't think we should be questioning someone's sexuality even if they are a problematic person if they are making harmful comments towards the community absolutely we should call that out but the scrutinization of someone when they come out even if they are currently in drama is a bad president to set especially with attempting to disprove someone sexuality which kind of just leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it kind of sets the idea that you need to act a certain way to be considered valid in your sexuality
Agree, im ace and i go from being fully repulsed to alright with sexual stuff day by day. There is something off putting about her comments though could just be off wording. 🤷
Im on the ace spectrum and i definitely dont like that part being included, i guess people get confused when someone uses the specific label asexual compared to other labels under the asexual spectrum? (demi, cupio, aego, etc.) but regardless it shouldnt have been in here. we already get invalidated and questioned enough as it is like leave us alone ffs 😭
yeah, as a asexual person i hate when ppl who aren't decide to commentate and decide whether someone else is "valid" and try to nitpick how someone identifies,, weird. asexuality is a spectrum and even for those who feel zero attraction we can still "do the deed" and enjoy it and seek it out, it doesn't mean i suddenly can feel attraction and most people see me as invalid for experiencing asexuality differently than "normal" (or how its popularly depicted as sex repulsed). people hate that i advocate that asexual doesn't actually dictate a persons sex life and you should never assume lol, sex positive asexuals are no less valid than neutral and repulsed and i hate people who try and claim its somehow asexual erasure??????
Agree with this. Especially because aceflux is a label for a reason. Some peoples level of attraction/connection to asexuality fluctuates over time. This feels like it should not be included with there are plenty of actual issues to discuss with this person.
I use to be online friends with her. She told me straight up that she would get jealous when it came to certain art pieces and wanted to do them FIRST,so then she would trace or quite literally just rip off the art. I wish I had the convo cause this was almost 4 years ago but it still sticks to me till this day!!!
Oh my god so this is why she randomly started attacking everyone in the comment section of my sailor peach drawing back then whenever anyone said "this is a really cool idea", claiming I was unoriginal and stuff (I never claimed to own the idea of sailor themed fanart everyone knows they're really common), and LITERALLY a week or two later she posted a sailor peach drawing too 💀. I knew she was probably pissed I posted it and it got attention before she did but having confirmation that she actually admitted that is insane wow
I'm ace and spend a lot of time in the ace community, saying "I'm ace sometimes" would probably be graysexual/grayace. It's a kinda a bad way to put it, but saying 'I'm ace sometimes' isn't fully inaccurate. The "I'm ace until someone matches my freak" can be very accurate to some aces, especially demi aces from what I hear. Edit: I will say though there's lots of misinformation and misinterpretation of asexuality, so there is a chance that they're saying they're ace when they're not, I'm just saying a grayace person could post that story/meme accurately
''I'm ace till-' is whats inaccurate though, as a demisexual, even if someone ''matches your freak'', even if you start dating someone and have an active sx life with them, you're still demisexual! Same for greysexuals and more Same as, even if you date the opposite gender as a bisexual, you still are bisexual, not straight
Yeah like I'd have to chalk it up to like, lack of information on how being aspec works bc insinuating someone may be lying about being ace just bc it fluctuates or when they're more comfortable being sexually attracted to someone just feels eh. As well as the whole 'You never post about pride on your page so are you really with that?'. Like trust someone can be queer and still be an asshole to other queer people. Like Delaney's definitely an ass but I'd step off from that argument.
8:40 "asexual sometimes" may be a part of a bigger thing, there's a lot of people i know that are "asexual sometimes". And the reason for that tends to be sexual trauma, so there's people like myself who often finds themselves rocking from asexual and repulsed by sex to being hypersexual. So it sometimes is a trauma thing. Idk about this artist though, definitely not defending her.
For sure! Im gray-sexual myself so i would say that i am “sometimes asexual” (more leaning to asexual) it really is just a spectrum and I wouldn’t really assume on my part if someone is asexual or not since im not that type :)
I'm demisexual and have only felt attraction to 2 people in my life, so 100% yes to the trauma thing and also, there's a whole asexual spectrum with different identities that might lead someone to self-describe as "sometimes asexual"!
The main problem is that we have better terms nowadays than saying "ace sometimes". People outside the communities involved will use it as anti ace/anti LGBTQIA+ rhetoric. Things like Demi, gray sexual, sex negative, sex positive, sex neutral, ect are all helpful terms to use when going through the spectrum.
@@whoahanant totally agree and forgot about that! I always just like to think positive and hope that they just haven’t looked into all the way! As when I first found about it I also referred to myself as “a little asexual” before figuring out it was an umbrella term and all!
@@Korgiizz yeah alot of people new to exploring the ace/aro spectrum don't know the terms right off the bat but hopefully they, and most do, take the criticism to stop using these phrases as they explore. So if they are ace hopefully they'll learn but also they should learn to not be attacking the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community either. Otherwise there's no reason to accept them if they can't accept everyone else.
31:30 That's my art. Like so many others, Delaney has affected me too. She's harassed me in the past, calling me a "sheep" when I stood by skywrathi, whom Delaney was blatantly ripping off. She made alt accounts on DeviantArt, Instagram, and Facebook just to threaten and harass me. Hell, she once made a drawing of Chase and Kimiko from Xiaolin Showdown holding knives at three OCs, one of which was mine. She claimed that it wasn't meant to be a threat, but that couldn't be further from the truth. She made a half-assed apology drawing, with my character looking like a total slut in the process because Delaney seems to think all women barely wear clothes, I guess. It was only made after people called her out for her obviously threatening drawing. Though it's been a few years since she's interacted with me, I'm still more than happy to call her out and stand behind those who are still being harassed by her. This has gone on for far too long. Thank you for making this video and making more people aware of the situation.
Just saying not having a license at 30 shouldn't be judged so harshly. Driving really isn't for everyone. But the grandma driving them around that can deffinently be.
I don't have one at 25 due to anxiety making me shake like a leaf. Driving is touted as a step towards adulthood, but there's legitimate medical reasons why some people shouldn't drive 😓
Delanie is so hypocritical for making fun of peoples art when she cant even make her own and plagarises about it. She stole art for 10 years. That was a long time to think about your choices, but she kept going even posting her art for sale. That is just messed up. In my opinion she's getting the hate she deserves because denying for 10 years, thats a long time. Making fun of gengers and being transphobic, making fun of trans, gay, acesexual people etc is just so rude. I cant believe she is 28.
I’m 36 and have severe driving anxiety from getting into a car wreck. Please don’t act like not having a license is a flaw. There are many people who don’t drive for different reasons and need family and friends to drive them. That’s not a skill issue or something to be demeaned.
@@kerriharris7418 Thank You! It's not like I don't have a license I did let it expire, but I can get it back I just choose not to cause for me I'm doing the other drivers a favor not being out there. Cause my panic attacks are so brutal I've almost wrecked 4 times cause of it. Once I got out of my car at a stop light crying cause I couldn't breath and stop shaking. It's not a bad thing to not drive or want to drive. In fact I wish more people wouldn't drive if they feel like they can't instead of people making them feel pathetic and demeaned for not wanting to drive. It's not a skill issue. It's a "I don't want to endanger other people on the road" choice that I applaud anyone for taking cause less tragic wrecks would happen if more people felt like they actual had a choice in the matter instead of people telling them there not "true " adults for not doing so.
@@SnowAnayathatweirdgirl Right? I’m downright terrified to try. I have my permit, but getting that doesn’t require any time behind the wheel here, just a multiple choice test. I want to have one eventually, but right now is not that time 🥲 Solidarity, my friend. ❤️
Public transport should be a given, rather than having a car and a license. Where I live it is silently required in order to work somewhere, as if you weren't reliable enough without one. It isn't required by law, butt many places don't hire you if you don't have it, especially in retail. I got asked about it every time because I didn't write it in my resume.
If they're claiming to be ace but spreading hate to the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole means they are not a part of the community as a whole and should be prepared not to have any acceptance given to them. There is no reason to be doing so if you are truly a person who has gone through what we all have gone through. As an ace person myself it's also annoying to hear "ace sometimes". We have better terms for you to explore yourself on the spectrum such as Demi, gray sexual, sex positive, sex neutral, sex negative/sex repulsed, ect. To help you figure it out. Saying "i WAS ace" or "SOMETIMES ace" can and has been used against not only the ace/aro communities but also the LGBTQIA+ community for decades. Also nsfw art does not mean you aren't ace. It's actually fairly easy for ace people to draw naked people when they are gray sexuals, demis, sex neutral, sex positive, ect. To many people the human body is about as interesting as a stick. It's nothing but flesh, muscles, nerves and bones. Natural. So it's not necessarily always an indicator for someone lying about being ace. Moral of the story, don't lie even once to your audience, cause then you'll be questioned about everything you do forever onwards. Including your sexuality/gender. It's not worth it. Especially not worth copying/heavy referencing people for 10 years holy cow.
Couldn't have said it better. Also, I'm aro/ace and draw naked people and naked furries all the time. lol I don't draw outright sex stuff, but basic nudes? Sure. In suggestive poses? Sure! Not because I get something out of it, but literally because it means nothing to me, or I'm too lazy to add clothes, or, most often, simply because I know it's what other people want to see. XD As long as an aro/ace person doesn't find sex or nudity offensive, it's really easy to draw nsfw. lol
You do realize you can be queer and still a bigot to other identifies right instead of saying people aren't real LGBT+ in the situation where they're being bigoted. What you did is no different than saying someone isn't really x queer identity because they don't do y which is a common form of bigotry especially towards ace folk. Queer people can be bigots being queer doesn't suddenly make someone immune from being bigoted even in their own community. Fighting a bigot with bigotry doesn't make it okay suddenly.
@@ayajade6683 that's not what I was saying. They can be LGBTQIA+ but there's a clear difference in being hateful towards the group you're a part of vs being an actual part of the group. Just like how it works for all communities. Bigoted groups do not identify with the LGBTQIA+ they create their own types of hateful groups such as the LG, LGB, the pick me/terf transgender people ect. To identify with a community is a choice. They do not identify with the LGBTQIA+ community and thus the community does not need to accept them in or suddenly treat them better just because they come out. If you spread hate you have no right to insert yourself into the community thinking suddenly all your bigotry will be forgiven. Deal with your own internalized bigotry before thinking anyone needs to accept any apologies or suddenly magically forgive you just because you came out. Considering their clear transphobia they are technically LGBQIA and that is not the WHOLE community. They are exempting an entire portion of people.
@@whoahanant except the way you worded implied they aren't really LGBT+ you literally picked the phrasing used primarily to discredit ace folk which feels fairly intentional given the context of the creator in question being ace. And even in your doubling down you're still saying phrases like identifying with the community is a choice which is only used by people saying being queer is a choice. Your wording is the issue and showing massive red flags
@@ayajade6683 literally every single use has has LGBTQI A + No where was A exempted. And you clearly still haven't comprehended the difference between being something and being a part of a community. You can be queer and still not identify with a community of queer people for various reasons. Being queer is different than being A PART OF a community. You are queer, you just aren't choosing to relate yourself to the community. There's a clear difference. You don't really choose your queerness but you do choose what community you want to be a part of.
ace person here, demisexual or greyace includes ppl who have fluctuating sexual interest. you can be ace and be sex positive, ace =/= no sexual attraction. asexuality is a large spectrum, so i think the argument of that meme being invalidating stems from misinformation about what asexuality is. NOT DEFENDING DELANEY BTW, just explaining stuff abt identities on the ace spectrum/asexuality as a whole
Lowkey the meme just sounds like someone playfully saying their Demi. "I'm asexual until someone matches my freak" just sounds like a goofy way to say "I'm asexual until I form a close bond with someone"
@@lizziescottlol you don’t need to label personality traits as a sexuality. Sure, if you’re completely repulsed/indifferent to sex but this is doing too much
@@dekxu6673 you dont go around falling in love with ALL of your friends right? like ALL of them to be exact. because there could be people like that and the "asexual until matches my freak" label aka gray/demi fits on people who feel the same way as the meme. also being ace isnt a personality trait lol get your head out of the sand people can just say they're prude/chaste out of values and blah blah while ace people just dont wanna do that lol
@ i mean your response doesn’t exactly debunk anything ive said. Falling in love with all of your friends could be a personality trait, or stem from previous trauma/experience. I go with the latter but that can be debated on. Also, it doesn’t make sense given the context you’ve given it. Isn’t the whole point of graysexual is being picky? Falling in love with all your friends isn’t exactly picky
Im normally rly skeptical of art theft claims when the only similarity is the pose bc i myself have drawn things and then afterwards stumbled onto artwork that by sheer coincidence looks so similar that I give up the idea of posting my piece publicly, but when it's a pattern of behavior that's when it becomes a problem
Terror at the thought of plagiarizing is why I can't do coms. I once drew the cutest little dragon sticking his tongue out, mirroring the snake on his tail. Loved it, painted a small version of it on a tiny canvas but didn't post it anywhere. Two weeks later a clay sculpture of that showed up on my feed. It was the EXACT dragon! Down to the head shape and horn placement. It was an artist I'd been following for a while and it was posted months earlier than my drawing so I must've seen it. I didn't know I was copying, I just had an image in my head and drew it. So after that happened I just can't trust myself enough to not do it again, it would've been sooooooo much worse if I had charged someone for that.
Babs Tarr has worked for DC and Image comics so it seems like somehow this other girl is obsessed with her success and popularity. The idea stated at the end that some people think it's ok to steal from bigger artists is getting around a lot and it's really shitty. Like personally I don't think it's ok to copying and resell from any creator including big companies, but more and more people say that not only is that find but they aim lower and lower until they're aiming at people beside them in the trenches. I don't care about the supposed 'power imbalance'. You are in the wrong and people have a right to say so.
i hate how "being inspired" is used as such a low ball excuse by many people who completely rip off other artists work. being inspired and taking inspiration is when viewing or observing someone's art or even listening to music or real life events STRIKES UP A CREATIVE IDEA in your mind. u can be inspired and draw a totally different piece from what u were inspired by, and no one would even have a clue u were inspired by it unless u say so. so no, copying someone's work and ideas and trying to pass it off as "inspiration" is not flattering nor original.
On the drivers license thing, I can add that not having a license at 30 is not that uncommon. I’m 26 at I don’t yet have a license since it’s a huge investment that I’m currently unable to afford. I get everything from groceries to art supplies by walking to stores or taking public transport. I’m lucky to live in a walkable city though.
Not having a license should not invalidate you from doing your job lol. If you can find an alternative like walking or public transport, that's great but if you needed it so desperately it'd be stupid not to get one. Especially at an older age.
From what i know, she's constantly unemployed, jas no social life, and lives with her mom (not saying that's a bad thing housing market is some bs ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭) and well she has her mom raise her child so her free time goes to her stealing and stalking
Actually as an artist that has suffered this, i can provide some information. Because these art pieces ( i would assume) bring the original artists MONEY, this is more than simple art theft. She can actually be sued by ANY artists that sells their art in any form. As Delaney has diverted income from the original artists. So this can be taken much further than just social media ARs. Due to the fact there is loss of income, it is very possible that any funds that could of been made from the original artists piece from the date she posted her copied piece she could be forced to pay every single person for. And personally i think it would be well deserved!
On her Facebook, she is asking people to report this video because this video is telling the truth. Everything is so obvious and her not admitting that she was wrong is so stupid. Can’t believe this person just stealing other artwork and make money from it. Just horrible. ( Imagine you spend a whole week drawing a piece and then she trace all of it which in 2 days and sells it for $50. )😢 I hope this video can reach a ton of people and knowing that she just a horrible thief😊
Being inspired is one thing. She's on another level. Has this gal ever done an original piece? Her style is all over the place because she's "inspired" so much by other artists. After 10 years, you'd think she would have her own style by now.
I'm really grateful I don't have this problem yet...but for other artists working on such beautiful art pieces only for those works to be stolen and traced is just god awful.....I am so sorry to other artists struggling it must be rough😢
The tattoo situations is definitely not her fault as an artist. The tattoo being blown out and having shaky lines is on the tattoo artist, since we can see the stencil she created was fine.
Oh my goodness, the fact that I was literally about to commission this person for my work and hours later this video popped up. Thaaaank you so much for informing so many people who don’t know anything about this situation or this person!
As an ace: Asexuality is not "we don't enjoy/engage with sex", it's about attraction. We don't experience sexual attraction. She may be demisexual - which is functionally asexual until you get super close to someone, at which time you may experience attraction. The term sex-repulsed is the "I dislike sex and stuff like that" (which itself runs on a spectrum, too) Just wanted to clear that up!
This ‘Artist’ Unfortunatly strives on this kind of negative attention and will most likely feed off of this to continue her disgusting behavior. It’s really frustrating when the art community should be lifting each other up and supporting one another. But, it’s like beating a dead horse with this one. Some people don’t want to learn, grow, or change.
the fact that there also are so many free YCH (your character here) poses you can find on pinterest or directly from other artists where you are allowed to trace or blindly copy the pose, but she still decides to steal and copy from other artists.
This is not being inspired or highly referenced...this is straight copying 100%. It's like there is no original thought themselves. Saying " I can draw it better" you are no artist. I feel so sad for the artists who were victims of this. The fact that she copied the actual art style of the artist is wild. I get fanart, but don't claim it as your own NOR make profit from it.
I called the uni she claims to have the awards from and they absolutely do NOT have a record of this award and NO record of an anime club (that would even award a high schooler?? Tf?) A small artist took reference from the same pieces Lamey and she FREAKED OUT - not once realizing the small artist did the same thing except they gave credit. 10 years stealing, and she's still broke and talentless LMAOOOOO
When it comes to the asexual meme I feel kinda bad for who could feel identity with it if not Demi, Recipro or Gray, bc that mostly means they are Ace and getting a rejection trauma triggered and trying to please their partner by hypersexualizing themselves. :(
I once called out a serial tracer and she even after I said im dyslexic continued to make fun and use it to insult my intelligence (Yuxi chan if you see this pls stop)
I've had some fans use my art, heavily reference it or even trace it for their own means, and show it off proudly, not knowing whats wrong with that situation. Most times when it's pointed out, they apologize and try to do better, but this person seems to thrive on the negative attention. This is getting them the fame and attention they are wanting.
She went on a hate rant one time when I said I didn’t like her favorite character. She wouldn’t leave me alone for days. She is a bully and a thief. Its best to block her and warn ofhers
Carini doesn't have higher T levels. She was "tested" by the SSR after beating their undefeated champ years ago and those test results have never been shown because they were not real. She was tested again for the Olympics just like every other athlete is and her levels were normal.
Khalif is a male. Look up the recent news. He beat up women. Males going against females is unfair. Sex is real no matter how you try to ignore science.
OH MY GOD THIS GIRL NEARLY DROVE ME CRAZY ONCE. She didn't trace my work but after the Mario movie came out I decided to make a fanart of peach in a sailor moon inspired costume that I labeled as sailor peach. I posted it for fun and it did pretty well on insta. Suddenly amongst the nice comments leaving compliments I saw that one account was replying to half of the nice comments that mentioned something about the idea being really cool, telling them "I wasn't that original" and that I didn't invent the concept. Which was odd because I never claimed to be the sole inventor of a mega original concept, its a thing a lot of artists do on different fandoms so idk why she was so pressed about people complimenting that. I called her out and then blocked her bc she was at this point not harassing me directly but the people in my comment section just for saying something nice. At some point she messaged me from another private account pointing out that I blocked her so I blocked that account again bc why did she even care that much. I found the delaney watch account on twitter and asked them what they knew about this person bc the behaviour was so odd and It came completely out of nowhere. They told me they've been monitoring her for a while and they expected her to target me at some point bc she followed me and bc apparently she joined a dtiys event from me one time but I didn't feature hers on my stories. a week or two later she suddenly posted a sailor peach fanart. Guess she was mad I posted one first (I have a decent following on insta) and it went well algorithm wise so she felt the need to catch other people's attention by telling them I wasn't original (I never claimed to be, sailor themed fanarts have been done for years of course I don't own them) just to draw the same idea herself a week or two later? I don't know it was the weirdest exchange I had online, a lot of artists on twitter told me they had even much worse experiences with her so I decided to completely ignore her existence after that.
In my personal opinion her stealing vivzy pops art is one of the stupids moves ever she is extremely popular and year you can make a helluva boss oc but uhhh that’s a little two similar what next she steals small pintrist channels art
Kind of impressive how she can spend all this time copying and tracing obviously artists (who have studied anatomy etc) yet she never improves. Art institutes, academies, mentorships and colleges for centuries have had students do some tracing and copying as they learn (obviously not sell). That is just some amazing cognitive dissidence.
I think it's important that people know that plagiarism in art isn't just tracing. Design theft is plagiarism, one to one redrawing (even if you don't trace) is plagiarism. Trying to pass off someone else's work as your own will always be plagiarism. If you copy and paste a text then go in to make minor changes you're still getting got for plagiarism. It's the same deal when it's visual. If you want to copy someone's work to see how it would look in your style that's called a STUDY and you credit the reference if you ever share it and you never monetize it without the creators consent!
I'm kinda impressed that after so many years of tracing that many artists she still failed to develop her art style tbh??? Like- it should have happened, unintentionally.
If it's heavy reference, you post and you tagg the artist that you ref of, I don't have a problem with that. The problem is, that they sell them claiming is their art, but also not crediting the artist
OMFG these types of people I hate tracing plus harassing the victim plus stalking and being transphobic and homophonic and still getting away with it!? is so disgusting
I had a mini viral moment with my art this year on Insta and all of a sudden people texted me that she started following me and will probably start stealing my art lol. So I looked her up and blocked her and she started messaging me from other accounts. Crazy stuff.
Haven't finished the video, just jumping in about the ace part as an asexual person myself. As you mentioned, ace is a spectrum that goes beyond aro/ace. Some ace people can be comfortable with sex at certain times, or if certain needs are met. Some ace people don't like sex whatsoever, some can enjoy pleasuring themselves but not be touched by others. Some can enjoy spectating but not being a part of the actual intimacy. Some need to roleplay to get out of who they are themselves, whether because of trauma, body dysmorphia, or just for fun. It can be really hard to identify why you're ok having sex sometimes, but not others. And because of that, it can be hard to identify as being ace without feeling like you're misspeaking. This is a huge reason why labels can be very damaging at times, though still very useful and necessary. We need to remember that everyone is different and that especially for our sexuality, we won't tick every box, but that doesn't mean we don't fit. My rule of thumb is let people use whatever sexuality label they feel comfortable with and expect that it can evolve or change as time goes on.
She has posted a screenshot of your video, calling on people to report and block you while calling you the bully, lol. "Please my loyal minions, go bully this bully by mass reporting her.."
The fact the EVERY single one of their art is copied or "heavily inspired" by someone else. Can come up with such a bad personality but not a single pose?
Having to see friends be harassed and copied by her for years, it's supremely satisfying to see a video compiling all the evidence in one place. I truly wish her the best in her journey forward. I hope she realises how much good will and trust she's broken for herself in the art community and finds the means to grow and move on. All of us as artists go through that phase where we copy and work from our favourite artists' works. It's part of the experience and part of finding your own voice and your own style as you learn, but we usually all know better than to try and profit from those practise pieces and know to credit where it's due. It's just wild to see someone break all of those unspoken rules and spit on them with glee and go on doing it for a decade if not more.
the funniest thing is that you keep saying which art is hers... but since hers always look 10x worse than the original its so obvious. Like how u gonna be drawing for that many years and literally tracing and yet you still somehow make the art look bad??? ur doing like 20% of the work and u still dont succeed?? embarrassing
the thing that gets me the most is how much people are calling them out when it's SO OBVIOUSLY stolen and they continue to not only vehemently deny it as if anyone would believe it, but also insult them in the process. starting to think they might be a narcissist lmao.
23:19 Regarding drawing from Live Photos - it is illegal to draw referencing a photo without the permission of the copyright holder (usually the photographer) to do so. So drawing this photo of someone else’s cosplay is illegal and is still art theft, unless the copyright holder gave her written permission to do so and is just as bad as the rest of the art theft going on here :) To legally draw referencing photos, they need to be photos from a free reference photo website (for example pexels or pixabay), purchased from paid stock websites, taken yourself, or you need to have permission from the owner
It’s also just really sad because if you manage to ignore her awful attitude and behavior, she shows talent as an artist. Her coloring is very good and she seems to know what she’s doing with her art. It’s just tragic that she would rather use other people’s art as a crutch to make her own instead of being original.
Also being outed is only dangerous in most of the world bc it can mess up living situations but in some countries/families it is literally life and death
As a Artist who's 10-14 and I struggle with doing poses, so I map out the pose I want to do and then I draw a character on it, Tracing and Mapping is not the same thing, like when you want to draw a pose and you do the circles and squares to do the 1st base of the pose, you do that over a pose that someone has taken a picture of.
I know this isn’t the point of the vid but 2:13 as someone who has PCOS and has struggled with feminine identity this specifically bothers me a lot 😂 Also screw transphobes-
This breaks my heart to see, my niece always sends me her unique arts with her own ideas, im an artist with more experience it's like me looking at my nieces art and taking her idea and saying oh i can make that look better let me go ahead and take her idea and profit off it. This is so wrong and i will never do this to someone its so wrong.💔
Bruh how dare she copy so many ppl’s art? No wonder why (example) Vizipop is making these animated shows like Hazbin hotel and getting paid so much for it, and Laney’s just tracing a genuine art piece. Pathetic.
the zutara art is especially sus just because if the design was original, why would they give her that outfit? besides being blue, it doesn't reflect her character design at all? like obviously you can put a character in whatever clothes you want, but it would just be a weird decision to choose clothes that don't match their style or personality. plus katara like isn't associated with flowers at all. if it was original, it would be a weird random choice.
Is there a reason that no one seems to have filed a lawsuit against her? I mean, if all the victims get together, can't they then file a class action lawsuit? Isn't that why we have laws, so they can be enforced to protect those being taken advantage of? It is deplorable that her behavior has been allowed to continue for so long.
I mean I could understand it a little if it was a very new, beginner artist doing it, but for someone who says they've been drawing since very young, this ain't it. Reference photos exist. I always save photos on Pinterest, I have many boards of references and used many of them. Some for realistic portraits, some I used just as a base reference and added things I like. Drawing from other artists' work is not flattery, it's more like an insult. Those people put so much time and effort into creating their pieces, and this delusional person just copies them? At 28 she should be more mature, but no.
it's sad to see that even if she decides to stop stealing she's at a lower skill level then if she were just original for the last 10 years, stealing and having an inconsistent artstyle for so long definitely slows the learning process going forward. but even if she were to be a great, original artist suddenly, that doesn't immediately make her a good person.
In defense of the driving thing- I'm disabled. I have seizures so even though I was able to take a class on road safety and everything, and I got my permit, I'm not comfortable driving knowing I could seize and cause a wreck. I'm not saying that's what's going on with her, who knows why she doesn't drive, but it still kinda sucks to hear ppl say that you should drive if others have to drive you everywhere after a certain age. If I lived where I could Uber or take taxis everywhere, I would- but I live in the country and can't do that. I don't know- just food for thought for anyone thinking that you should be able to no matter what-
Legit sitting and drawing an inspired piece while watching this but im not tracing or directly taking the poses - Imagen being inspired without stealing !? crazy?!?!?
As a demibisexual, someone who needs a bond with someone before I can have any feelings for romantically it makes me sick when someone pretends to be part of my community, as well as stealing art WITHOUT giving some sort of credit I know it's hard to search for the og artists but when people can see exactly who it is is sad...
Y‘all have to stop making up sexualities ffs. Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Het. That’s all there is. You not sleeping around is a preference, not a sexuality in itself. Also it’s absolutely hilarious that you „get sick“ when someone „pretends to be part of YOUR community“. Girl. Get a grip.
I’m not that far into the video yet, but how are you going to claim that someone is stalking/harassing you yet you continue to make alt accounts to comment on their posts after they blocked you? Who’s harassing who again? 😭
These exposé blogs always make me wonder how these people find these art pieces someone traced from?? That's wild honestly I would've never noticed :,)
Reverse googling helps. Screenshot and use google leans and it gives you all kinds of stuff. They could have also stumbled across it while maybe searching for smaller artist.
I think it’s mainly die hard fans of artists noticing the similarities. 2 artists I follow trsgatos and mrsbutterd I’ve been following them for years. I think I could tell if someone traced their art but anyone else I more than likely wouldn’t notice and like the post and move on.
With Delaney, it was always easy to see because a massive artist like Babs or Skywrathi would post a piece, and then within 24 hours, she'd upload her stolen copy. With the older stuff, and I'm sorry to say...we just reverse-Google'd it. The AI in google is smart enough to find the originals...which is the only time AI should ever be allowed near art lmao. :') It also isn't hard when you don't have to go; "okay, we can't find anything, so this piece COULD be original..." because ALL of Delaney's """art""" is ripped off from someone else without exception. :') It's every. Damn. Piece.
This person is seriously unhinged and creepy. We were following each other on Instagram, but I immediately unfollowed after discovering she was stealing other artists' work. The moment I hit unfollow, she messaged me asking, 'Did you unfollow me?' and then blocked me right after. Glad this is finally getting some exposure.
A Decade this person has been doing this, 10 years is nuts! 10 years you could be doing life changing things instead of harassing and bothering the same strangers online 😭 like what a waste of their life and energy that could be doing something better
Kat I sent you a big AI accusation thread in Twitter where a fairly established artist was called out by a client. Interestingly, the client even offered $1k if the artist gets in livestream to prove he drew it or makes a Timelapse where he does special actions (like draws a red circle on the side)
I started taking art seriously when I was in elementary school and there was an artist I was heavily inspired by that I copied her drawing and tweaked the hair and to them "hey! I drew your drawing but changed it a little so they could look like twin sister" I don't exactly know how it went down but I think they might've blocked me? eventually I stopped drawing that character cuz it was honestly just me trying to learn how to draw and I considered myself as a "mimic-artist" but I never really claimed that it was mine originally? if that makes sense also did something similar in 6th grade where I mimicked someones are but changed the hair and outfit and told the person that I made them look like sisters and that this was an original drawing i did but I think how I said it came out wrong where it sounded like I said that I made the original piece and she stole it but what I was trying to convey was " your the original artist of the style and I was inspired by you so I referenced ur drawing and tweaked it and like its kinda the first drawing I made of it hence why I put "original" but I'm not claiming to be the original artist of your drawing. I didn't know what I had done was a bad thing until later on so I've been weary of drawing from referencing others and just looking for poses from amines or cartoons lol
16:11 if Delaney wasn’t the one to tattoo the art on to the person, it’s the fault of the tattoo artist who did for the mistakes. Those are also the mistakes of someone who either is barely trained, doesn’t care, or is rushing (could also be a combo of the 3)
Sounds like a serious personality disorder to me. A normal person would be ashamed if caught doing something harmful or bad. She seems to like it. Kinda sociopathic behavior. Or at least narcissistic.
one or two heavy references would be fine, I think most artists have referenced other artists many times (not this heaviliy though) but as soon as it gets over 10, cant even imagine how many for this "artist" , when it's done for literally every art piece, it's just as bad as tracing
There's a ton of artists who do this sorta stuff . I hope people start getting called out for this sorta stuff more often - a lot of unknown artists get their ideas jacked by bigger artists essentially farming them.
I would say the bodies are 100% traced considering how similar they are, it is clear that they traced big aspects and then added some other stuff Also as for the "I'm ace sometimes thing" asexuality is a spectrum yes, i am ace myself, and i think this may be a big thing....ace isn't a perfect descriptor for people like that i feel personally....hence those groups tend to have more specific better descriptors than just saying "I'm ace" i personally find it a lil confusing often times cause when someone says their ace then it's like "okay but what type are you" i feel people should do looks into their subtype of ace if they aren't like...ace ace personally, part of why ace as a concept is confusing for many is that inner confusion of "okay but even in the realm of little to no sexual attraction there is a massive spectrum starting eith "eh i got sexual attraction but it's not the most important thing, but ey I'm down" just my personal feelings as an ace person that also went through the "what is wrong with me why can't i just like someone like everyone else" part of their life

Imagine drawing for 10 years and not being able to draw your own original pieces. That's tragic.
I know! As an artist who's practiced more than 5 years, I now revel in the fact that I can draw whatever the heck I want from all these references, and I use that power to make things that I can't find or don't find enough of. Using your ability like this is such a waste!
girl needs some good ol' fashioned OC brainrot
I would be ashamed fr. When i was a kid i did 3 years of painting and drawing classes and when i was getting decent i had to stop. Then i pick it up again as a teenager and sweet baby jesus i felt like i didn't even knew how to hold a pencil,so i am now re learning everything and it kinda sucks a bit,so to train trace and coloring i get free coloring books sometimes artists makes and trace then and transfer to watercolor paper to do my stuff trying to steady my grip and that's it. I'm now on the "how tf proportions work" part of drawing and producing some original stuff but still have to trace to color those free books as i don't have a printer. I am trying to do it every week but turns out getting a degree in chemistry is indeed a time consuming nightmare sometimes.

My friend bought me stickers from this artist's etsy and the reek of cigarettes the second I opened the package made me vomit. They were just supposed to be Taylor Swift stickers but she put some weird Harley Quinn ones with really janky proportions too? My friend left a genuine, honest review on the etsy shop about it and the owner immediately messaged her asking her to delete the review (which is a violation of Etsy's policies.) A sweet, heartfelt gift experience from my friend was ruined by trashy business practices, I wish this video came out before my friend wasted her money.
did you friend delete the review? im pretty sure you can email etsy and let them know the store owner is asking you to violate etsy policies and they can do something about it
does that mean they are also smoking thats just dumb dont smoke while making stickers to sell so unprofessional also what the harley quinn stickers? feel bad
oh i could tell delaney reeked of cigarettes based off vibes alone😂😂
I remember seeing callouts of this person on instagram back when I started art at 13. She traced for so long, a whole generation of artists grew up
Damn... All that time she could have grown artistically
That's crazy.

I was stolen from her!
This girl is very notorious in certain communities for tracing for commissions and intentionally trying to profit off copied/traced work. Anyone who called her out at the time would get harassed and blocked, including me. She'd use the same excuse every time of "I don't trace."
There has never been any apologies to the artists she's stolen from and she account hops every time things blow up. People have docs lined up about her to prevent her from scamming more people in the future. This definitely isn't the first time and won't be the last.

IKR!? It’s bizarre
8:30 - “asexual sometimes” - eugh. I could understand if, by this, she meant she felt demisexual, but that went completely out the window when I saw the meme she liked on Twitter.
Demi, Grey, Recipro, theres a lot of labels on the asexual spectrum to fit that meme, sadly is really hard for some people to find their place on the spectrum, even an ace with rejection trauma can end up sexualizing themselves as a trigger response, so is really hard to judge someone with a small lenses when it comes to asexuality, just bc it was easier for some aro/aces to find their label doesn't mean everyone find it that fast. (not defending her tho, it does look like a stalker tactic but just in case is not i can understand the reason of the meme a lot of people are on the spectrum and think they're not)
@G4Godzilla6666 I haven't watched the video yet, but making fun of Asexuals and Aromantics is the same as making fun of someone for being a virgin. It's annoying and no one asked for the persons opinion of their body. (Unless in a joking context) Even freedom of speech has limits.
(And before anyone asks. No, you don't have to be a virgin to be Ace 🙂)
@@Rj-27 meme is not making fun, at much is made by someone who is in the spectrum but demi, gray recipro or an ace with hyper sexualization due rejection so in any sense is a coping mechanism or actually part of the spectrum, can’t blame people for not knowing their labels when being ace is complicated enough. 🫡
@G4Godzilla6666 That makes more sense, thanks! 😅
I’m Demi romantic and I wasn’t actually aware till I gained a crush on a close friend

Claiming you're asexual and then outing someone for being trans is appalling. I'm asexual/aro/ace and would NEVER do such a thing. I would ride at dawn for all my fellow LGBTQA+ peeps.
this is a massive W on ur side, delaney is clinically insane basically. any lgbtq+ person that discriminates against any kind of sexuality or gemder is nuts(and i dont mean stuff like "i hate [some terrible lgbtq+ person who did horrendous things] but i respect and like anyone who has the same sexuality as they do.", i mean full on "i hate gays/trans people/aces/whatever the heck else" sorta people.
she also claimed she isnt a transphobe... after intentionally misgendering someone, she believed at the moment, was trans?? crazy bruh...
Hell yeah!! FOR LADY GAGA!! GODDESS EMPRESS OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
I'm ace and would do it. Why lie? My fellow LGB+ peeps don't want conversion therapy to come back, like the trans community is wanting. Saying a man who identifies as a woman is a "lesbian" lmao. Men keep trying to force lesbians to get with them. Disgusting.
I agree to an extent, but just because someone is transphobic, it doesn’t mean they can’t be ace.
The idea that we can take away someone’s identity for being a bad person is a dangerous idea to put out there.
Same with the idea of a “queerbaiter”.
Keep in mind that I say this as an aroace enby.
@@Neon.Space.Alien. Also sexuality is not personality. Queer people can suck as a person just as non queer people can suck as a person. We should judge people on their personality and values, not on their sexual interests. Both extreme sides are disgusting and ignorant imo. People are more than their sexual identity.
I’m on both the ace-spectrum and aro-spectrum and honestly I don’t think any part of that should be part of any callout. Asexuality is as broad a spectrum as any other and can be experienced in a multitude of different ways. Her comments about “not being les” are definitely off putting though LOL
Fully agree with this I genuinely don't think we should be questioning someone's sexuality even if they are a problematic person if they are making harmful comments towards the community absolutely we should call that out but the scrutinization of someone when they come out even if they are currently in drama is a bad president to set especially with attempting to disprove someone sexuality which kind of just leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it kind of sets the idea that you need to act a certain way to be considered valid in your sexuality
Agree, im ace and i go from being fully repulsed to alright with sexual stuff day by day. There is something off putting about her comments though could just be off wording. 🤷
Im on the ace spectrum and i definitely dont like that part being included, i guess people get confused when someone uses the specific label asexual compared to other labels under the asexual spectrum? (demi, cupio, aego, etc.) but regardless it shouldnt have been in here. we already get invalidated and questioned enough as it is like leave us alone ffs 😭
yeah, as a asexual person i hate when ppl who aren't decide to commentate and decide whether someone else is "valid" and try to nitpick how someone identifies,, weird. asexuality is a spectrum and even for those who feel zero attraction we can still "do the deed" and enjoy it and seek it out, it doesn't mean i suddenly can feel attraction and most people see me as invalid for experiencing asexuality differently than "normal" (or how its popularly depicted as sex repulsed). people hate that i advocate that asexual doesn't actually dictate a persons sex life and you should never assume lol, sex positive asexuals are no less valid than neutral and repulsed and i hate people who try and claim its somehow asexual erasure??????
Agree with this. Especially because aceflux is a label for a reason. Some peoples level of attraction/connection to asexuality fluctuates over time. This feels like it should not be included with there are plenty of actual issues to discuss with this person.
I use to be online friends with her. She told me straight up that she would get jealous when it came to certain art pieces and wanted to do them FIRST,so then she would trace or quite literally just rip off the art. I wish I had the convo cause this was almost 4 years ago but it still sticks to me till this day!!!
Jeez, I'm sorry you had to deal with her.
Oh my god so this is why she randomly started attacking everyone in the comment section of my sailor peach drawing back then whenever anyone said "this is a really cool idea", claiming I was unoriginal and stuff (I never claimed to own the idea of sailor themed fanart everyone knows they're really common), and LITERALLY a week or two later she posted a sailor peach drawing too 💀. I knew she was probably pissed I posted it and it got attention before she did but having confirmation that she actually admitted that is insane wow
I'm ace and spend a lot of time in the ace community, saying "I'm ace sometimes" would probably be graysexual/grayace. It's a kinda a bad way to put it, but saying 'I'm ace sometimes' isn't fully inaccurate. The "I'm ace until someone matches my freak" can be very accurate to some aces, especially demi aces from what I hear.
Edit: I will say though there's lots of misinformation and misinterpretation of asexuality, so there is a chance that they're saying they're ace when they're not, I'm just saying a grayace person could post that story/meme accurately
Thank you, as another ace person.
You explained it very well
oh i thought it was alloce mb i forgot about grayace
''I'm ace till-' is whats inaccurate though, as a demisexual, even if someone ''matches your freak'', even if you start dating someone and have an active sx life with them, you're still demisexual! Same for greysexuals and more
Same as, even if you date the opposite gender as a bisexual, you still are bisexual, not straight
Yeah like I'd have to chalk it up to like, lack of information on how being aspec works bc insinuating someone may be lying about being ace just bc it fluctuates or when they're more comfortable being sexually attracted to someone just feels eh. As well as the whole 'You never post about pride on your page so are you really with that?'. Like trust someone can be queer and still be an asshole to other queer people. Like Delaney's definitely an ass but I'd step off from that argument.
8:40 "asexual sometimes" may be a part of a bigger thing, there's a lot of people i know that are "asexual sometimes". And the reason for that tends to be sexual trauma, so there's people like myself who often finds themselves rocking from asexual and repulsed by sex to being hypersexual. So it sometimes is a trauma thing. Idk about this artist though, definitely not defending her.
For sure! Im gray-sexual myself so i would say that i am “sometimes asexual” (more leaning to asexual) it really is just a spectrum and I wouldn’t really assume on my part if someone is asexual or not since im not that type :)
I'm demisexual and have only felt attraction to 2 people in my life, so 100% yes to the trauma thing and also, there's a whole asexual spectrum with different identities that might lead someone to self-describe as "sometimes asexual"!
The main problem is that we have better terms nowadays than saying "ace sometimes". People outside the communities involved will use it as anti ace/anti LGBTQIA+ rhetoric.
Things like Demi, gray sexual, sex negative, sex positive, sex neutral, ect are all helpful terms to use when going through the spectrum.
@@whoahanant totally agree and forgot about that! I always just like to think positive and hope that they just haven’t looked into all the way! As when I first found about it I also referred to myself as “a little asexual” before figuring out it was an umbrella term and all!
@@Korgiizz yeah alot of people new to exploring the ace/aro spectrum don't know the terms right off the bat but hopefully they, and most do, take the criticism to stop using these phrases as they explore.
So if they are ace hopefully they'll learn but also they should learn to not be attacking the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community either. Otherwise there's no reason to accept them if they can't accept everyone else.
31:30 That's my art. Like so many others, Delaney has affected me too. She's harassed me in the past, calling me a "sheep" when I stood by skywrathi, whom Delaney was blatantly ripping off. She made alt accounts on DeviantArt, Instagram, and Facebook just to threaten and harass me. Hell, she once made a drawing of Chase and Kimiko from Xiaolin Showdown holding knives at three OCs, one of which was mine. She claimed that it wasn't meant to be a threat, but that couldn't be further from the truth. She made a half-assed apology drawing, with my character looking like a total slut in the process because Delaney seems to think all women barely wear clothes, I guess. It was only made after people called her out for her obviously threatening drawing. Though it's been a few years since she's interacted with me, I'm still more than happy to call her out and stand behind those who are still being harassed by her. This has gone on for far too long. Thank you for making this video and making more people aware of the situation.

Delanie is so hypocritical for making fun of peoples art when she cant even make her own and plagarises about it. She stole art for 10 years. That was a long time to think about your choices, but she kept going even posting her art for sale. That is just messed up. In my opinion she's getting the hate she deserves because denying for 10 years, thats a long time. Making fun of gengers and being transphobic, making fun of trans, gay, acesexual people etc is just so rude. I cant believe she is 28.
I’m 36 and have severe driving anxiety from getting into a car wreck. Please don’t act like not having a license is a flaw. There are many people who don’t drive for different reasons and need family and friends to drive them. That’s not a skill issue or something to be demeaned.
I’m also 36 with no license. It’s not a flaw. Acting like it is is really shitty.
@@kerriharris7418 Thank You! It's not like I don't have a license I did let it expire, but I can get it back I just choose not to cause for me I'm doing the other drivers a favor not being out there. Cause my panic attacks are so brutal I've almost wrecked 4 times cause of it. Once I got out of my car at a stop light crying cause I couldn't breath and stop shaking.
It's not a bad thing to not drive or want to drive. In fact I wish more people wouldn't drive if they feel like they can't instead of people making them feel pathetic and demeaned for not wanting to drive. It's not a skill issue. It's a "I don't want to endanger other people on the road" choice that I applaud anyone for taking cause less tragic wrecks would happen if more people felt like they actual had a choice in the matter instead of people telling them there not "true " adults for not doing so.
@@SnowAnayathatweirdgirl Right? I’m downright terrified to try. I have my permit, but getting that doesn’t require any time behind the wheel here, just a multiple choice test. I want to have one eventually, but right now is not that time 🥲 Solidarity, my friend. ❤️
Public transport should be a given, rather than having a car and a license. Where I live it is silently required in order to work somewhere, as if you weren't reliable enough without one. It isn't required by law, butt many places don't hire you if you don't have it, especially in retail. I got asked about it every time because I didn't write it in my resume.
yeah, same, my biggest problem is seizures and fainting, and more, and i cannot drive because that'd be deadly
If they're claiming to be ace but spreading hate to the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole means they are not a part of the community as a whole and should be prepared not to have any acceptance given to them.
There is no reason to be doing so if you are truly a person who has gone through what we all have gone through. As an ace person myself it's also annoying to hear "ace sometimes". We have better terms for you to explore yourself on the spectrum such as Demi, gray sexual, sex positive, sex neutral, sex negative/sex repulsed, ect. To help you figure it out. Saying "i WAS ace" or "SOMETIMES ace" can and has been used against not only the ace/aro communities but also the LGBTQIA+ community for decades.
Also nsfw art does not mean you aren't ace. It's actually fairly easy for ace people to draw naked people when they are gray sexuals, demis, sex neutral, sex positive, ect. To many people the human body is about as interesting as a stick. It's nothing but flesh, muscles, nerves and bones. Natural. So it's not necessarily always an indicator for someone lying about being ace.
Moral of the story, don't lie even once to your audience, cause then you'll be questioned about everything you do forever onwards. Including your sexuality/gender. It's not worth it. Especially not worth copying/heavy referencing people for 10 years holy cow.
Couldn't have said it better. Also, I'm aro/ace and draw naked people and naked furries all the time. lol I don't draw outright sex stuff, but basic nudes? Sure. In suggestive poses? Sure! Not because I get something out of it, but literally because it means nothing to me, or I'm too lazy to add clothes, or, most often, simply because I know it's what other people want to see. XD As long as an aro/ace person doesn't find sex or nudity offensive, it's really easy to draw nsfw. lol
You do realize you can be queer and still a bigot to other identifies right instead of saying people aren't real LGBT+ in the situation where they're being bigoted. What you did is no different than saying someone isn't really x queer identity because they don't do y which is a common form of bigotry especially towards ace folk. Queer people can be bigots being queer doesn't suddenly make someone immune from being bigoted even in their own community. Fighting a bigot with bigotry doesn't make it okay suddenly.
@@ayajade6683 that's not what I was saying. They can be LGBTQIA+ but there's a clear difference in being hateful towards the group you're a part of vs being an actual part of the group. Just like how it works for all communities. Bigoted groups do not identify with the LGBTQIA+ they create their own types of hateful groups such as the LG, LGB, the pick me/terf transgender people ect.
To identify with a community is a choice. They do not identify with the LGBTQIA+ community and thus the community does not need to accept them in or suddenly treat them better just because they come out. If you spread hate you have no right to insert yourself into the community thinking suddenly all your bigotry will be forgiven. Deal with your own internalized bigotry before thinking anyone needs to accept any apologies or suddenly magically forgive you just because you came out.
Considering their clear transphobia they are technically LGBQIA and that is not the WHOLE community. They are exempting an entire portion of people.
@@whoahanant except the way you worded implied they aren't really LGBT+ you literally picked the phrasing used primarily to discredit ace folk which feels fairly intentional given the context of the creator in question being ace. And even in your doubling down you're still saying phrases like identifying with the community is a choice which is only used by people saying being queer is a choice. Your wording is the issue and showing massive red flags
@@ayajade6683 literally every single use has has LGBTQI A +
No where was A exempted. And you clearly still haven't comprehended the difference between being something and being a part of a community. You can be queer and still not identify with a community of queer people for various reasons.
Being queer is different than being A PART OF a community. You are queer, you just aren't choosing to relate yourself to the community. There's a clear difference. You don't really choose your queerness but you do choose what community you want to be a part of.
ace person here, demisexual or greyace includes ppl who have fluctuating sexual interest. you can be ace and be sex positive, ace =/= no sexual attraction. asexuality is a large spectrum, so i think the argument of that meme being invalidating stems from misinformation about what asexuality is. NOT DEFENDING DELANEY BTW, just explaining stuff abt identities on the ace spectrum/asexuality as a whole
Lowkey the meme just sounds like someone playfully saying their Demi.
"I'm asexual until someone matches my freak" just sounds like a goofy way to say "I'm asexual until I form a close bond with someone"
@@lizziescott thats also how i interpreted it as someone whos demi
@@lizziescottlol you don’t need to label personality traits as a sexuality. Sure, if you’re completely repulsed/indifferent to sex but this is doing too much
@@dekxu6673 you dont go around falling in love with ALL of your friends right? like ALL of them to be exact. because there could be people like that and the "asexual until matches my freak" label aka gray/demi fits on people who feel the same way as the meme.
also being ace isnt a personality trait lol get your head out of the sand people can just say they're prude/chaste out of values and blah blah while ace people just dont wanna do that lol
@ i mean your response doesn’t exactly debunk anything ive said. Falling in love with all of your friends could be a personality trait, or stem from previous trauma/experience. I go with the latter but that can be debated on. Also, it doesn’t make sense given the context you’ve given it. Isn’t the whole point of graysexual is being picky? Falling in love with all your friends isn’t exactly picky
Im normally rly skeptical of art theft claims when the only similarity is the pose bc i myself have drawn things and then afterwards stumbled onto artwork that by sheer coincidence looks so similar that I give up the idea of posting my piece publicly, but when it's a pattern of behavior that's when it becomes a problem
Terror at the thought of plagiarizing is why I can't do coms. I once drew the cutest little dragon sticking his tongue out, mirroring the snake on his tail. Loved it, painted a small version of it on a tiny canvas but didn't post it anywhere. Two weeks later a clay sculpture of that showed up on my feed. It was the EXACT dragon! Down to the head shape and horn placement. It was an artist I'd been following for a while and it was posted months earlier than my drawing so I must've seen it. I didn't know I was copying, I just had an image in my head and drew it. So after that happened I just can't trust myself enough to not do it again, it would've been sooooooo much worse if I had charged someone for that.
Also dont forget that one time she ignored her son on live when he was crying and saying he was in pain 😢
Remember when she claimed her son confronted her saying that tracing wasn’t bad? 😂
That's horrible. 😢
terrible
That's... That's **DISGUSTING**. There are people who want kids and she treats the one that she has like **SHIT?!** Woww..
Babs Tarr has worked for DC and Image comics so it seems like somehow this other girl is obsessed with her success and popularity.
The idea stated at the end that some people think it's ok to steal from bigger artists is getting around a lot and it's really shitty. Like personally I don't think it's ok to copying and resell from any creator including big companies, but more and more people say that not only is that find but they aim lower and lower until they're aiming at people beside them in the trenches. I don't care about the supposed 'power imbalance'. You are in the wrong and people have a right to say so.
i hate how "being inspired" is used as such a low ball excuse by many people who completely rip off other artists work. being inspired and taking inspiration is when viewing or observing someone's art or even listening to music or real life events STRIKES UP A CREATIVE IDEA in your mind. u can be inspired and draw a totally different piece from what u were inspired by, and no one would even have a clue u were inspired by it unless u say so. so no, copying someone's work and ideas and trying to pass it off as "inspiration" is not flattering nor original.
On the drivers license thing, I can add that not having a license at 30 is not that uncommon.
I’m 26 at I don’t yet have a license since it’s a huge investment that I’m currently unable to afford.
I get everything from groceries to art supplies by walking to stores or taking public transport. I’m lucky to live in a walkable city though.
Not having a license should not invalidate you from doing your job lol. If you can find an alternative like walking or public transport, that's great but if you needed it so desperately it'd be stupid not to get one. Especially at an older age.
In a lot of places you have to have your own car and not everyone is willing to lend their car. It's what is keeping my partner from getting his
Nahhhh how does she have that much time to steal and stalk others while being an adult
From what i know, she's constantly unemployed, jas no social life, and lives with her mom (not saying that's a bad thing housing market is some bs ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭) and well she has her mom raise her child so her free time goes to her stealing and stalking
Unemployed
Actually as an artist that has suffered this, i can provide some information. Because these art pieces ( i would assume) bring the original artists MONEY, this is more than simple art theft. She can actually be sued by ANY artists that sells their art in any form. As Delaney has diverted income from the original artists. So this can be taken much further than just social media ARs. Due to the fact there is loss of income, it is very possible that any funds that could of been made from the original artists piece from the date she posted her copied piece she could be forced to pay every single person for. And personally i think it would be well deserved!
I have YEARNED for YEARS for someone to make a video on this absolute troglodyte of a human being. Thank you so much omfg. ♥
Oh shit I found you in the wild.
On her Facebook, she is asking people to report this video because this video is telling the truth. Everything is so obvious and her not admitting that she was wrong is so stupid. Can’t believe this person just stealing other artwork and make money from it. Just horrible. ( Imagine you spend a whole week drawing a piece and then she trace all of it which in 2 days and sells it for $50. )😢 I hope this video can reach a ton of people and knowing that she just a horrible thief😊
Being inspired is one thing. She's on another level. Has this gal ever done an original piece? Her style is all over the place because she's "inspired" so much by other artists. After 10 years, you'd think she would have her own style by now.
I'm really grateful I don't have this problem yet...but for other artists working on such beautiful art pieces only for those works to be stolen and traced is just god awful.....I am so sorry to other artists struggling it must be rough😢
The tattoo situations is definitely not her fault as an artist.
The tattoo being blown out and having shaky lines is on the tattoo artist, since we can see the stencil she created was fine.
Something that rubs me the wrong way about the Zutara art is the fact that she’s 30 and drawing MINORS like that!
Oh my goodness, the fact that I was literally about to commission this person for my work and hours later this video popped up. Thaaaank you so much for informing so many people who don’t know anything about this situation or this person!
As an ace: Asexuality is not "we don't enjoy/engage with sex", it's about attraction. We don't experience sexual attraction.
She may be demisexual - which is functionally asexual until you get super close to someone, at which time you may experience attraction.
The term sex-repulsed is the "I dislike sex and stuff like that" (which itself runs on a spectrum, too)
Just wanted to clear that up!
This ‘Artist’ Unfortunatly strives on this kind of negative attention and will most likely feed off of this to continue her disgusting behavior. It’s really frustrating when the art community should be lifting each other up and supporting one another. But, it’s like beating a dead horse with this one. Some people don’t want to learn, grow, or change.
the fact that there also are so many free YCH (your character here) poses you can find on pinterest or directly from other artists where you are allowed to trace or blindly copy the pose, but she still decides to steal and copy from other artists.
This is not being inspired or highly referenced...this is straight copying 100%. It's like there is no original thought themselves. Saying " I can draw it better" you are no artist. I feel so sad for the artists who were victims of this. The fact that she copied the actual art style of the artist is wild. I get fanart, but don't claim it as your own NOR make profit from it.
Drawing for 10 years and still can’t draw anything original+Zutara shipper+racist. There’s too many struggles there
I called the uni she claims to have the awards from and they absolutely do NOT have a record of this award and NO record of an anime club (that would even award a high schooler?? Tf?)
A small artist took reference from the same pieces Lamey and she FREAKED OUT - not once realizing the small artist did the same thing except they gave credit.
10 years stealing, and she's still broke and talentless LMAOOOOO
When it comes to the asexual meme I feel kinda bad for who could feel identity with it if not Demi, Recipro or Gray, bc that mostly means they are Ace and getting a rejection trauma triggered and trying to please their partner by hypersexualizing themselves. :(
I once called out a serial tracer and she even after I said im dyslexic continued to make fun and use it to insult my intelligence

I've had some fans use my art, heavily reference it or even trace it for their own means, and show it off proudly, not knowing whats wrong with that situation. Most times when it's pointed out, they apologize and try to do better, but this person seems to thrive on the negative attention. This is getting them the fame and attention they are wanting.
She went on a hate rant one time when I said I didn’t like her favorite character. She wouldn’t leave me alone for days. She is a bully and a thief. Its best to block her and warn ofhers
Carini doesn't have higher T levels. She was "tested" by the SSR after beating their undefeated champ years ago and those test results have never been shown because they were not real. She was tested again for the Olympics just like every other athlete is and her levels were normal.
Khalif is a male. Look up the recent news. He beat up women. Males going against females is unfair. Sex is real no matter how you try to ignore science.
OH MY GOD THIS GIRL NEARLY DROVE ME CRAZY ONCE. She didn't trace my work but after the Mario movie came out I decided to make a fanart of peach in a sailor moon inspired costume that I labeled as sailor peach. I posted it for fun and it did pretty well on insta. Suddenly amongst the nice comments leaving compliments I saw that one account was replying to half of the nice comments that mentioned something about the idea being really cool, telling them "I wasn't that original" and that I didn't invent the concept. Which was odd because I never claimed to be the sole inventor of a mega original concept, its a thing a lot of artists do on different fandoms so idk why she was so pressed about people complimenting that. I called her out and then blocked her bc she was at this point not harassing me directly but the people in my comment section just for saying something nice. At some point she messaged me from another private account pointing out that I blocked her so I blocked that account again bc why did she even care that much. I found the delaney watch account on twitter and asked them what they knew about this person bc the behaviour was so odd and It came completely out of nowhere. They told me they've been monitoring her for a while and they expected her to target me at some point bc she followed me and bc apparently she joined a dtiys event from me one time but I didn't feature hers on my stories.
a week or two later she suddenly posted a sailor peach fanart. Guess she was mad I posted one first (I have a decent following on insta) and it went well algorithm wise so she felt the need to catch other people's attention by telling them I wasn't original (I never claimed to be, sailor themed fanarts have been done for years of course I don't own them) just to draw the same idea herself a week or two later? I don't know it was the weirdest exchange I had online, a lot of artists on twitter told me they had even much worse experiences with her so I decided to completely ignore her existence after that.
I was gonna block this person but to my surprise, I realized I already had them blocked lmao💀
In my personal opinion her stealing vivzy pops art is one of the stupids moves ever she is extremely popular and year you can make a helluva boss oc but uhhh that’s a little two similar what next she steals small pintrist channels art
Kind of impressive how she can spend all this time copying and tracing obviously artists (who have studied anatomy etc) yet she never improves. Art institutes, academies, mentorships and colleges for centuries have had students do some tracing and copying as they learn (obviously not sell). That is just some amazing cognitive dissidence.
She's in the comment section replying to sugargun
@@aishawashington12 big oof
I think it's important that people know that plagiarism in art isn't just tracing. Design theft is plagiarism, one to one redrawing (even if you don't trace) is plagiarism. Trying to pass off someone else's work as your own will always be plagiarism. If you copy and paste a text then go in to make minor changes you're still getting got for plagiarism. It's the same deal when it's visual. If you want to copy someone's work to see how it would look in your style that's called a STUDY and you credit the reference if you ever share it and you never monetize it without the creators consent!
I'm kinda impressed that after so many years of tracing that many artists she still failed to develop her art style tbh??? Like- it should have happened, unintentionally.
She is just that useless
If it's heavy reference, you post and you tagg the artist that you ref of, I don't have a problem with that. The problem is, that they sell them claiming is their art, but also not crediting the artist
OMFG these types of people I hate tracing plus harassing the victim plus stalking and being transphobic and homophonic and still getting away with it!? is so disgusting
I had a mini viral moment with my art this year on Insta and all of a sudden people texted me that she started following me and will probably start stealing my art lol. So I looked her up and blocked her and she started messaging me from other accounts. Crazy stuff.
hi! aroace here, actually, you can fluctuate between being ace and not ace. that's called being ace-flux!
Haven't finished the video, just jumping in about the ace part as an asexual person myself. As you mentioned, ace is a spectrum that goes beyond aro/ace. Some ace people can be comfortable with sex at certain times, or if certain needs are met. Some ace people don't like sex whatsoever, some can enjoy pleasuring themselves but not be touched by others. Some can enjoy spectating but not being a part of the actual intimacy. Some need to roleplay to get out of who they are themselves, whether because of trauma, body dysmorphia, or just for fun. It can be really hard to identify why you're ok having sex sometimes, but not others. And because of that, it can be hard to identify as being ace without feeling like you're misspeaking. This is a huge reason why labels can be very damaging at times, though still very useful and necessary. We need to remember that everyone is different and that especially for our sexuality, we won't tick every box, but that doesn't mean we don't fit. My rule of thumb is let people use whatever sexuality label they feel comfortable with and expect that it can evolve or change as time goes on.
She has posted a screenshot of your video, calling on people to report and block you while calling you the bully, lol.
"Please my loyal minions, go bully this bully by mass reporting her.."
The fact the EVERY single one of their art is copied or "heavily inspired" by someone else. Can come up with such a bad personality but not a single pose?
Having to see friends be harassed and copied by her for years, it's supremely satisfying to see a video compiling all the evidence in one place. I truly wish her the best in her journey forward. I hope she realises how much good will and trust she's broken for herself in the art community and finds the means to grow and move on. All of us as artists go through that phase where we copy and work from our favourite artists' works. It's part of the experience and part of finding your own voice and your own style as you learn, but we usually all know better than to try and profit from those practise pieces and know to credit where it's due. It's just wild to see someone break all of those unspoken rules and spit on them with glee and go on doing it for a decade if not more.
Delaney should change her name to Delulu...
the funniest thing is that you keep saying which art is hers... but since hers always look 10x worse than the original its so obvious. Like how u gonna be drawing for that many years and literally tracing and yet you still somehow make the art look bad??? ur doing like 20% of the work and u still dont succeed?? embarrassing
OH MY??? IK WE TALKING ABOUT STEALING ART BUT IS NB GONNA TALK ABOUT THE INCEST ART OF GTHE POWERPUFF GIRLS AT 32:32

the thing that gets me the most is how much people are calling them out when it's SO OBVIOUSLY stolen and they continue to not only vehemently deny it as if anyone would believe it, but also insult them in the process. starting to think they might be a narcissist lmao.
25:00 the outfits from those drawings are Taylor’s actual outfits from the concert in those color compositions so in this case how is that copying?
23:19 Regarding drawing from Live Photos - it is illegal to draw referencing a photo without the permission of the copyright holder (usually the photographer) to do so. So drawing this photo of someone else’s cosplay is illegal and is still art theft, unless the copyright holder gave her written permission to do so and is just as bad as the rest of the art theft going on here :)
To legally draw referencing photos, they need to be photos from a free reference photo website (for example pexels or pixabay), purchased from paid stock websites, taken yourself, or you need to have permission from the owner
Adorka stock has an entire website that's dedicated to having reference photos for poses
You can even make your own poses with 3D models in multiple apps
It’s also just really sad because if you manage to ignore her awful attitude and behavior, she shows talent as an artist. Her coloring is very good and she seems to know what she’s doing with her art. It’s just tragic that she would rather use other people’s art as a crutch to make her own instead of being original.

Sigh. The first thing they teach in art college is how to reference properly and not copy/steal from others. People really lack basic ethics.
Also being outed is only dangerous in most of the world bc it can mess up living situations but in some countries/families it is literally life and death
As a Artist who's 10-14 and I struggle with doing poses, so I map out the pose I want to do and then I draw a character on it, Tracing and Mapping is not the same thing, like when you want to draw a pose and you do the circles and squares to do the 1st base of the pose, you do that over a pose that someone has taken a picture of.
I know this isn’t the point of the vid but 2:13 as someone who has PCOS and has struggled with feminine identity this specifically bothers me a lot 😂

This breaks my heart to see, my niece always sends me her unique arts with her own ideas, im an artist with more experience it's like me looking at my nieces art and taking her idea and saying oh i can make that look better let me go ahead and take her idea and profit off it. This is so wrong and i will never do this to someone its so wrong.💔
Bruh how dare she copy so many ppl’s art? No wonder why (example) Vizipop is making these animated shows like Hazbin hotel and getting paid so much for it, and Laney’s just tracing a genuine art piece. Pathetic.
the zutara art is especially sus just because if the design was original, why would they give her that outfit? besides being blue, it doesn't reflect her character design at all? like obviously you can put a character in whatever clothes you want, but it would just be a weird decision to choose clothes that don't match their style or personality. plus katara like isn't associated with flowers at all. if it was original, it would be a weird random choice.
Is there a reason that no one seems to have filed a lawsuit against her? I mean, if all the victims get together, can't they then file a class action lawsuit? Isn't that why we have laws, so they can be enforced to protect those being taken advantage of? It is deplorable that her behavior has been allowed to continue for so long.
they could but it could take a lot of time, money and stress. Alongside how the artists may be based in different countries where the laws may vary.
I mean I could understand it a little if it was a very new, beginner artist doing it, but for someone who says they've been drawing since very young, this ain't it.
Reference photos exist. I always save photos on Pinterest, I have many boards of references and used many of them. Some for realistic portraits, some I used just as a base reference and added things I like.
Drawing from other artists' work is not flattery, it's more like an insult. Those people put so much time and effort into creating their pieces, and this delusional person just copies them? At 28 she should be more mature, but no.
it's sad to see that even if she decides to stop stealing she's at a lower skill level then if she were just original for the last 10 years, stealing and having an inconsistent artstyle for so long definitely slows the learning process going forward. but even if she were to be a great, original artist suddenly, that doesn't immediately make her a good person.
In defense of the driving thing- I'm disabled. I have seizures so even though I was able to take a class on road safety and everything, and I got my permit, I'm not comfortable driving knowing I could seize and cause a wreck. I'm not saying that's what's going on with her, who knows why she doesn't drive, but it still kinda sucks to hear ppl say that you should drive if others have to drive you everywhere after a certain age. If I lived where I could Uber or take taxis everywhere, I would- but I live in the country and can't do that. I don't know- just food for thought for anyone thinking that you should be able to no matter what-
Legit sitting and drawing an inspired piece while watching this but im not tracing or directly taking the poses - Imagen being inspired without stealing !? crazy?!?!?
As a demibisexual, someone who needs a bond with someone before I can have any feelings for romantically it makes me sick when someone pretends to be part of my community, as well as stealing art WITHOUT giving some sort of credit I know it's hard to search for the og artists but when people can see exactly who it is is sad...
Y‘all have to stop making up sexualities ffs. Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Het. That’s all there is. You not sleeping around is a preference, not a sexuality in itself.
Also it’s absolutely hilarious that you „get sick“ when someone „pretends to be part of YOUR community“. Girl. Get a grip.
I didn’t think I would appear in one of your videos omg (36:59 Maona)
I’m not that far into the video yet, but how are you going to claim that someone is stalking/harassing you yet you continue to make alt accounts to comment on their posts after they blocked you? Who’s harassing who again? 😭
These exposé blogs always make me wonder how these people find these art pieces someone traced from?? That's wild honestly
I would've never noticed :,)
Reverse googling helps. Screenshot and use google leans and it gives you all kinds of stuff. They could have also stumbled across it while maybe searching for smaller artist.
I think it’s mainly die hard fans of artists noticing the similarities. 2 artists I follow trsgatos and mrsbutterd I’ve been following them for years. I think I could tell if someone traced their art but anyone else I more than likely wouldn’t notice and like the post and move on.
With Delaney, it was always easy to see because a massive artist like Babs or Skywrathi would post a piece, and then within 24 hours, she'd upload her stolen copy. With the older stuff, and I'm sorry to say...we just reverse-Google'd it. The AI in google is smart enough to find the originals...which is the only time AI should ever be allowed near art lmao. :')
It also isn't hard when you don't have to go; "okay, we can't find anything, so this piece COULD be original..." because ALL of Delaney's """art""" is ripped off from someone else without exception. :') It's every. Damn. Piece.
This person is seriously unhinged and creepy. We were following each other on Instagram, but I immediately unfollowed after discovering she was stealing other artists' work. The moment I hit unfollow, she messaged me asking, 'Did you unfollow me?' and then blocked me right after. Glad this is finally getting some exposure.
A Decade this person has been doing this, 10 years is nuts! 10 years you could be doing life changing things instead of harassing and bothering the same strangers online 😭 like what a waste of their life and energy that could be doing something better
The fact she stole from someone who made hazbin hotel and are very well known is crazy
Kat I sent you a big AI accusation thread in Twitter where a fairly established artist was called out by a client. Interestingly, the client even offered $1k if the artist gets in livestream to prove he drew it or makes a Timelapse where he does special actions (like draws a red circle on the side)
21:19 if you look closely you can literally see the original drawing from sugar under delaneys layer
Glad this is getting attention. I’ve been following the Laneykiffsteals for over a year
I started taking art seriously when I was in elementary school and there was an artist I was heavily inspired by that I copied her drawing and tweaked the hair and to them "hey! I drew your drawing but changed it a little so they could look like twin sister" I don't exactly know how it went down but I think they might've blocked me? eventually I stopped drawing that character cuz it was honestly just me trying to learn how to draw and I considered myself as a "mimic-artist" but I never really claimed that it was mine originally? if that makes sense also did something similar in 6th grade where I mimicked someones are but changed the hair and outfit and told the person that I made them look like sisters and that this was an original drawing i did but I think how I said it came out wrong where it sounded like I said that I made the original piece and she stole it but what I was trying to convey was " your the original artist of the style and I was inspired by you so I referenced ur drawing and tweaked it and like its kinda the first drawing I made of it hence why I put "original" but I'm not claiming to be the original artist of your drawing. I didn't know what I had done was a bad thing until later on so I've been weary of drawing from referencing others and just looking for poses from amines or cartoons lol
16:11 if Delaney wasn’t the one to tattoo the art on to the person, it’s the fault of the tattoo artist who did for the mistakes. Those are also the mistakes of someone who either is barely trained, doesn’t care, or is rushing (could also be a combo of the 3)
Sounds like a serious personality disorder to me. A normal person would be ashamed if caught doing something harmful or bad. She seems to like it. Kinda sociopathic behavior. Or at least narcissistic.
and now she's literally commenting on every video in this channel, calling her a cyberbully ..
The way I was sitting here waiting for when you'd cover this LMAO 😂 the shit Delaney does is just baffling and not in a good way
one or two heavy references would be fine, I think most artists have referenced other artists many times (not this heaviliy though) but as soon as it gets over 10, cant even imagine how many for this "artist" , when it's done for literally every art piece, it's just as bad as tracing
There's a ton of artists who do this sorta stuff .
I hope people start getting called out for this sorta stuff more often - a lot of unknown artists get their ideas jacked by bigger artists essentially farming them.
I would say the bodies are 100% traced considering how similar they are, it is clear that they traced big aspects and then added some other stuff
Also as for the "I'm ace sometimes thing" asexuality is a spectrum yes, i am ace myself, and i think this may be a big thing....ace isn't a perfect descriptor for people like that i feel personally....hence those groups tend to have more specific better descriptors than just saying "I'm ace" i personally find it a lil confusing often times cause when someone says their ace then it's like "okay but what type are you" i feel people should do looks into their subtype of ace if they aren't like...ace ace personally, part of why ace as a concept is confusing for many is that inner confusion of "okay but even in the realm of little to no sexual attraction there is a massive spectrum starting eith "eh i got sexual attraction but it's not the most important thing, but ey I'm down" just my personal feelings as an ace person that also went through the "what is wrong with me why can't i just like someone like everyone else" part of their life
