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?

    1. Yeaaaahhhhh this dude gets no sympathy. He clearly knows what he's doing is wrong; he's lied about it, ignored polite requests to have things removed, tried to cover it up, used it to exploit people, ignored specific information given to him about copyright laws, shows no remorse, and THEN has the balls to whine about how people are annoying HIM? AND he's a grown-ass man? Fuck this guy. I've been broke before too and i would never stoop this low. If he even IS broke. His blind fans are who you should feel sorry for, them and the people who put incredible amounts of time, money, work, and love into their dolls and artworks. They're the ones who're losing out here. He can eat a bag of dicks.

      That said, i agree that people shouldn't be spamming him with angry messages or going after the GoFundMe without proof of any wrongdoing. I admit i'm guilty of leaving a heated comment on his Facebook artist page and i regret that but it's gone now. Just burn his shit down from the shadows and quietly piss on the ashes.

    2. I'm SUPER new to this website, but this is the best thing ever!!!

      If not for you people, this guy would have gotten away with taking Kickstarter money... and now his DeviantArt and Kickstarter are deactivated as of today.

      Great job, you guys!

    3. Does anyone have the images of his from that? I know a LOT of people at Paizo and want to send this along if possible. Please inbox me.

    4. This. I'm afraid that he just couldn't be bothered to delete all the comments so he just deactivated his account and is gonna make a new one pretty soon. So it may not be over yet.
      Also Julia Cross' LLT Roderich and couple more (that I don't recognize) are still on his FB which just pisses me off.

    5. As to him having a child to support. Many of us have children, ourselves, and sometimes even other adults to support. Artists depend on their art for a living. Stealing from them is stealing from other children who depend on it.
      Sorry I do not feel sorry for this dude.

    6. Another one of the interviews with this delightfully creative author. The comment box is empty!

    7. I agree. Many criminals have children, but that doesn't mean committing a crime (theft, etc.) is acceptable. If anything, you should be a better example for your children, and not go around stealing people's artwork and taking credit. This guy should be so ashamed of himself! I can't believe his Facebook is so proud of artwork ripped off from other people.

    10. What about this "The Grove Comic" Facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/TheGroveComic

      It's killing me that this guy did this. I would be so upset if someone profited from my stolen artwork.

    11. It just saddens me that he isn't even putting any effort into his image theft. I mean, at least run more than one filter on the image. Throw in some lighting and layer effects. It might take 6 minutes instead of 5 if you're really working hard, but isn't real art worth that pain?
       
      #411 Etheldreda, Mar 6, 2014
    12. That's the worst part of this whole thing! He doesn't even seem to put any effort into the actual "theft" itself. He's like the world's laziest art thief.

    13. I absolutely respect people who use photoshop as a medium and the wonderful things they can do with it. This guy, on the other hand, just used a few filters. What he's doing shouldn't be confused with actual digital art.

    14. Etheldreda: :lol:

      Knibitz: I went ahead and grabbed that image info about his comic and posted it to my FB page as an update.

    15. Has anyone contacted the other reviewer yet?

    16. For the person looking for the example of Pathfinder art theft. The page of the original says Pathfinder, but I don't play so I'm not 100% on this.

    17. I contacted DIsney's Copyright lawyers today. Hopefully, angering the Big Boy lawyers will help!


      Also, not sure if it has been posted yet, but he has a video up pn Youtube of ONLY dolls:

    18. i see that many of BJD pics (most of them) were removed. Few are still there. And stolen art pics are all there as well as pics of china figurines and art dolls
       
      #418 jadedkuroshi, Mar 6, 2014
    19. Seems like the YouTube video got taken down due to Copyright issues...

    20. I don't know if anyone else has yet, but I left a comment on the interview. I wonder how many poor interviewers he's fooled into thinking he's original.

      "I just want to say that the artist above, Matthew C. Nelson, has been caught multiple times running Photoshop filters over other people’s artwork and shows no remorse for it. I thought you should know. Many artists, Ball-jointed doll customizers, figurine creators, and others have had their work stolen by him. I thought you should know. People are trying to spread the word since he’s making money off of it."

      I don't feel bad for him, but I feel bad for that kid if its his.

      (Whoops, repeated myself. My bad, it happens.)
