We'd like to inform our members of recent developments with one of our active members.

We have been notified that maki96 is an art thief and tracer. She has been tracing over official art and original art submitted to deviantArt, along with using traced art for points commissions.

This behavior is unacceptable. It goes against group policy, deviantArt's policy, and our own standards. Any traced or stolen art posted by any of our group members will be removed, and if it continues – further action will be taken.

We are ashamed to see such an active member tracing stolen art, and we hope that similar incidents do not happen in the future.

Links to deviantArt policy:
FAQ #157: Can I use things created by other people in my submissions?
FAQ #306: Does "Crediting" let me use whatever I want?

Wow. I was all like "Soon I have enough Points to buy a comission" and to be honest...maki actually was one of those I had in mind. So much for that. I am really shocked now. And I don't get it at all. She has talent and she actually uses it. Why not, you know, draw an own base to start with? Isn't that faster than tracing franken dolls?!  And yeah...im again the last person to know...haha XD
