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.

    1. Amongst all the other things I am probably one of the few people to recognize that the wolf thing he edited is a creation from Anya's shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Anyaboz

      He is blatantly taking from not only the BJD hobby, but also stealing hand made works, movie caps, and video game characters! I can't believe he has the nerve to say people are pissing him off!

    4. The Kickstarter is pending the copyright dispute. He hasn't been shut down yet. Keep sending in your official disputes so KS knows just how many people he ripped off.

    5. I posted his mess on Facebook but when I last looked it was gone. I suppose that he blocked it, since I wrote it on his wall.

    6. The first link is to the book KS took down, or at least put on Hold, today, the second link is to the First time he tried to get money for his book. It has been cancelled.
      Funding Canceled Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on February 24.

    8. Please, for people who are posting on his Facebook Wall, Please Do Not. It can become a legal issue in itself!

    9. I haven't logged on to DeviantArt in probably a year or so, but I did to let this person know that their art had been stolen:
      Original: http://elephantwendigo.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Ritual-358386909
      Copy: http://artistmattnelson.deviantart.com/art/Incantation-425514522

      The artist msged me back and said they'd requested he take it down.

      I'm not that quick to anger but the fact that he was acting as if he'd drawn it himself in his facebook post & was giving ADVICE on how to master hands off a drawing he DID NOT DO really set me off.

      All it took was running it though a tineye search! UGH.

    11. Loolooz asked Kilian to post her link to the original because she didn't have a Facebook page, he doesn't either so I posted it. It's gone now.

    12. I recognised her doll too, I messaged her through DA about it - haven't heard back from her though.

    13. I sent her a message on etsy as well. I'm sure she'll get it eventually.

    14. Yeah, that'd be harassment.

    15. February 2nd he wrote this on Facebook:

      So, recently I had shared one of my art pieces with a friend. A friend of theirs had asked me if it was a piece on canvas. I explained that it was not, and that it was one of my digital artworks. This person responded, "Oh, so it isn't real art..."

      Let me just state for the record...digital art IS INDEED art. When I am doing a piece, I build it up just like a real acrylic painting on canvas. I start out with a digital crayon to draw out the outline, and then I go in with my digital brushes and bring the piece to life, to the vision of what I see.

      Digital artwork is NOT easy.

      I pour my heart, mind, and soul into every piece I do. I invest a portion of myself into each piece.

      So, let me just say this. If you feel my digital artwork is not really art, well...

      ... you are obviously misinformed, and you may remove yourself from my friends list.

    18. His comic frightened/creeped me out, somehow...just like a cluster of holes or bumps...don't know why, exactly...

    19. I agree with Allison Wonder, do not harass him on his FB page or his dA. It's tempting, yes, but it's still harassment and it makes everyone working hard to have his "work" taken down look bad as well. And yes, he does deserve a good yelling at and such but playing Devil's advocate here, we also don't 100% know his background. He could suffer from a chronic lying disorder or suffer with some sort of depression (thus driving him to an extreme like art theft as a form to validate himself?) and harassing him will only make things worse.

      All that you should be doing right now is reporting to KS, FB, dA, etc. They will take care of the rest.
