1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Another Artist Using Doll Likenesses Without Crediting?

Mar 5, 2014

    1. No he's published books and given interviews about them, it's not a joke.

      I also sent her note on DA.
       
    2. If this was, he's not just targeting the bjd community, since he has stolen other forms of art...and his 'prank' has been up for a while, and put down once before.
      Also, this.
      So, prank is not likely.
      Our epic takedown is epic, we won today.
       
    3. It's really nice that the BJD community can act together as a big team at times like this as well! :)
      I reported him on dA and facebook, I hope we can solve this! Such theft cannot be left unpunished! ><
       
    4. I saw a photo-manip/paint-over of one of Nene Thomas' paintings on the FB page. I'll tell her about it.

      People are just idiots. They can run some filters over someone's images and think that it's now their art! Jerks!!!! :(

      Thanks for getting involved in all this. It's difficult for people to know when others are stealing their images unless there's a community watching and reporting things, like this one.
       
    5. :sorry okay. It's just REALLY HARD to take "Lady Magister Khoronai Eledari....Dragon half-blood daughter of Emperor Gephyrdohedratalus, the Lord of the Wyrms" seriously.
       
    6. This guys is...just...really...'creative'? Read some of the newbie fanfictions online, and you'll be so confused on whose trollin' and who is just 'creative'.
       
    7. I feel for all of you who had their pictures stolen! The thief is so obvious that I find his attempt at claiming them as his own so ridiculous it is sad... I would have given him a tad bit credit if he had free handed drawn from reference but simply applying filter... (and badly at that) is just pathetically sad.

      I hope you can get his FB and DA down!!
       
    8. Did someone contact Virginie Ropars already?
       
    9. Looks like his Facebook Fan page is gone!
      "Artwork" is still up on his personal page but he's now online...
       
    10. YAY! his kickstarter is down! good job guys!
       
    11. "I've had a terrible day" awww how sad for you.

      Screw this guy. Good job everyone.
       
    12. Good riddance!
       
    13. Has he commented about anything?
       
    14. I've left him several messages to remove my photos, but so far no replies.
       
    15. I can assure you, that his facebook is alive and kicking for now, but with restricted access:x. I have made screens in case he will close it at all
       
    16. His personal page is alive and kicking, but his artist/fan page seems to be gone. The link is dead. I'm actually kind of surprised that I haven't been blocked off his personal page yet.
