xveex is Stealing Other People’s Art..

[@LeamonPuppy]

UPDATE: They changed their channel username to On_essie

[@TordParker2.0]

The person could get terminated for this, it is best that people let the original creators know about this and the original creator could copyright strike the person for stealing their stuff. Three copyright strikes and then the channel will be terminated. All the original creator has to do is copyright strike their video that was stolen.

[@TordParker2.0]

I’m pretty sure art could get copyright striked too, not just videos. Correct me if I am wrong. But yeah, all I know is that the stolen videos can get copyright striked.

[@KeplerAnimates]

This is so sad. Honestly, art stealing just makes me so disappointed and upset.

[@sawtist]

THANK YOUUU as an avid mlp artist and mlp art enjoyer, i was so happy when their videos started getting recommended to me‼️‼️ until i noticed the inconsistencies. then the literal watermarks still on the art. and yet, with these blatantly obvious things, people still say “ wow, your art is so good ! “

[@CleoDragon]

art theft, tracing, etc. makes me so sad as why can't people just be original and not steal? I've had my art stolen before (not by this person) and it felt awful as I's spent so much time on it. Also the background of that drawing you did looks so beautiful!!

[@Djturtle55]

Nooo I’ve seen them on my feed and actually liked their art and content I feel like such a fool /hj😭 Thanks for bringing this up!

[@Fireføxstudios]

Ayee hello dj, tis sun XD

[@Djturtle55]

@ YOOO How you been?

[@Fireføxstudios]

@@Djturtle55 great! 👍

[@Beereeey]

liked the art they reposted, you mean?

[@Alibithesirencat]

@@BeereeeyI’m pretty sure they meant before they knew the art was stolen

[@PeepsCreate]

I swear these people are annoying, and I hate how we have to be suspicious of great artists due to some people just being jerks

[@thundersoupzw7416]

FINALLY!! Someone who is talking about this!! I’ve seen their videos on my recommendations and almost no one in the comments are talking about this!! I’m going to share this video so more people know about it! It’s so annoying that just by stealing artwork they gain thousands of followers!! And then people who ACTUALLY put in work barley get any at all!

[@L0N3LY_0P0SSUM]

Bro I thought I was the only one who noticed. Thank-you for bringing this up

[@Q-hovv_lolol]

Am so happy someone talked abt this situation, barely anyone is noticing they are stealing and they continue supporting

[@Høtłine_ajpw]

This is genuinely so disappointing. People who steal art just waste their time. Learning art is hard (speaking from experience because I’m still learning myself) but why steal it? They could just learn how to make art. There are tutorials etc. They probably had good potential as well :/

[@Kallmeemral]

I actually called them out on EVERY SINGLE video they have.

[@MitzuKoni-l8m]

finally!- i saw em less than a day ago and im so glad that this is being talked about!

[@ttc_acronym]

Another reminder for us to put hard-to-remove watermarks on out stuff (including me who keeps forgetting)

[@lisaneims9057]

This is really dissapointing. its so sad that people will just take peoples speedpaints or art videos and claim it as their own. i also saw xveex's shorts. it definitely looks stolen. i feel so bad for the artists that had their art stolen. and so many people beleive them.. im glad you are bringing awareness onto this :)

[@Pheney123]

I love your drawing ❤

[@LeamonPuppy]

Thank you!

[@Pheney123]

(:

[@Zomby834]

once i saw a yt short that was obv stoled, like they didnt even tried to hide it. AND NO ONE WHERE SAYING ANYTHING ABT IT. they were like ‘i want to see more!’ Or ‘so cute’ (the video was about mlp poneys gaving an hug to an human) Edit : i js fixed 2 mistakes i noticed

[@Luci_Star755]

I think I saw it... And I didn't notice😭

[@Froggy383]

I hate peoples who steal artwork :(

[@Willow_the_wooloo]

I kept seeing them around,didn’t think I’d ever see a video about them thanks for this! 😄

[@Butterfly182AJPW]

KZbin kept recommending me these videos. I don't even watch anything MLP related. Yes, I'm a fan but I don't watch any MLP stuff. Normally there's lots of warnings in the comments, there's nothing. Thank you for spreading awareness!

[@Luna_The_Shepherd]

I don’t get why ppl steal, doesn’t it make them feel bad? That’s not their art.

[@Dragoz.]

Oh great more art stealers how nice! (Praying my art isnt snatched anytime soon)

[@FrostiWcue]

Same 😭😭😭

[@SaromeGamer]

Sameeee

[@kittystudios1716]

your art style improved, keep up the good work 👍

[@yuyosakakipokemonmaster]

I literally recognized that according because of the MLP redesigned as the coloe pallet thing. I never subbed, but I have seen it

[@SilversProductionsWIP]

Thank you so much for addressing this! I swear, I always keep seeing my yt shorts recommend me the same thing! It's honestly sad that someone is able to get views and not get into any trouble by any means when taking credit off of someone else's work :(

[@JoyousPeas]

I found a really pretty fluttershy redesign and went on their page to search for the rest of the group. I ended up finding so many videos that are so many different art styles so close to each other and with visible watermarks

[@SaygeShroom]

I love how much your art style has changed it keeps getting better!

[@boulder74]

I saw this person on my feed today. Did not know they actually stole other peoples youtube art shorts, glad i didnt sub to them and found this videk before doing that. Thank you for spreading awareness about this person.

[@EM-xe7ng]

Nooooo don't steal peoples art especially leamon . And leamon ur art is wayyy too good keep up the great work 😄✌️

[@Ghostfoxkori]

Somebody needs to take mizuki away from this person 😭🙏

[@Ghostfoxkori]

OMG WAIT I LIKED THEIR VIDEOS TOO NOOO

[@abandonedchannel]

yes!! i saw this channel before and so much comments kept praising the art bc it’s good but yeah. i don’t think i would’ve known if it weren’t for me seeing other comments saying that all that art was stolen. thanks for making vid on it also geez i havent watched ur channel in a year, the detailed sprite gave me a whiplash

[@TheAlmightyCookie-p8x]

Thank you so much I can’t believe I fall for their trick

[@Melodyxstar]

great video Leamon! will definitely talk about this too, i also found a user (possibly the same one) doing this too. they were using both ibis paint x and procreate throughout their videos and have multiple videos titled smth along the lines of "MLP as humans (MY STYLE!!)" ONE LITERALLY HAD A WATERMARK FROM THE OG ARTIST LIKE YOU SAID LMAO

[@retnoartanti1976]

This situation is BAAAAAAD

[@Guitarist123-7]

art stealing is so sad ⍣⃝

[@catswampy]

Hey, possible thing to make a video on. there have been people fraudulently buying party potions. it may run the risk of having everyone even slightly in relation to this getting banned, kinda like the situation before with the sapphires. there is a thread about it on the ajpw worth wiki, but you'd prob just have to try find that yourself because I don't want youtube to auto delete the comment for having a link in it

[@peppermintpup1]

I posted a short about these cats at a pet supply store that is in my town and somebody tried to say that they assumed that the video wasn’t mine and how they worded it was they assumed that I don’t own that supposed of TikTok video the funny thing is that I posted that video on TikTok first and then seconds after that I posted it on here. So yeah it’s bad that people do that but it’s odd when they assume the video isn’t yours

[@am_spooki7512]

Finally someone's talking about it!!

[@cloudy_angelou011]

Unfortunately I see this A LOT that’s why I don’t allow remix of my shorts and watermark the heck out of my art (my art has been stolen before)

[@flaming_avocado]

I had a tiktok of myself drawing a sketch of scaramouche to viral a couple years ago. I told a friend about it like 5 or 6 months later and she she'd already seen it on Instagram with no credit (I did not out of there). These accounts are a PLAGUE.

[@PallasAthena-cv3uh]

I love your art style it's super cute and I hope I'm half as good as you someday

[@LillyanaDuff]

Thank you for this!

[@Whimsykit]

Havent watched your content in a while since i quit aj due to lack of motivation, but this is a really good video, hope you make more non aj content in the future

[@Garage-Catto]

This stuff is so annoying. I remember one time I got a REALLY out of pocket hate comment and I looked at their channel to see if they were actually an artist or just a random faceless person. But no, they where one of these content stealers. They were obscenely harshly criticizing my art yet they steal others art any claim it’s theirs. That’s almost worse than if they weren’t an artist themselves at all!

[@CuteGh0stfqc3]

xveex has come up on my feed a lot, so I checked their channel and watched a couple of their shorts, i knew it wasn't theirs because a couple of the shorts had the original artists watermark, or that 'their' (sarcasm) artstyle kept changing

[@Pvnkbatbat]

If us artists have to deal with the fact that someone will steal our art and claim it as theirs, we might as well not draw at all bc what’s the point of drawing if someone’s gonna steal it away?

[@SaromeGamer]

Is nobody gonna talk about thw adorable art this person has

[@Froggy383]

Your videos are always so good leamon

[@Bonniethebunny]

Paet of why i don't use tiktok or post anything there. Yea, i have an account, but i never posted anything on it, and never will. I rarely even look at the app. I don't use shorts either. Tumblr is where i post my stuff

[@scottcat6345]

Bro i remember an art tracer named Zzany_crafts. They stole art A LOT. ik this isn’t aj related but i just wanted to share this.

[@Strawberry_945]

I KNEW IT me and my little sister noticed it yesterday I was confused I even wanted to ask her why her artistic style is different every time she posts but I didn't want to make a false accusation but now I'm officially sure of what she does . She even changed her name and profile picture . WTF ... THANK YOU

[@SariPopcat._o]

6:08 …THE THEME I KNOW THIS-

[@JosephDoesActivities]

I liked the artstyle then i realized it changes almost every video, that got me suspicious, thanks for spreading awareness

[@lizardd_duck]

tracing, art theft, stealing PERIOD, makes me wanna scream. Especially when everyone in the comments are like, "you are so talented!" And stuff like that.

[@Dewdropster]

‘Why learn to draw when you can borrow someone else’s?’ Sigh

[@bealea1127]

I just hope they won't steal my art :(

[@tarethompson2667]

At first, I thought they were stealing but I wasn't sure then I watched it again and new they were stealing, and I was like: "Oo girl you love changing your art style every short- uh good for you? " I just wanted to say this XD

[@C.jAfton]

New Subscriber I've been seeing those shorts and I got upset that they took one of my favorite mlp artist art 😑

[@Cleared__]

Awh, I was subscribed to them :[ Edit: they changed their channel name to hide it

[@DokiDoki-OFFICIALL]

I knew sm was up! Like, their style changed every video! well... Not really their own style...

[@KitsuneNotFound]

I literally just came across her channel the other day😭

[@mafuxmafuxmafuxmafu]

Sigh they’re a Mizuki fan

[@mafuxmafuxmafuxmafu]

To clarify- I am ashamed a mizu fan would do this, I love Mizuki with all my heart

[@Ghostfoxkori]

Real real

[@AmarisDOORS]

Art stealing is actually so rude, just because you can't draw doesn't mean you should claim another creators art

[@crybaby6845]

Is your characters bow supposed to look like ears? :) i like it

[@Justacraftychannel]

Hi leamon! :3

[@JustoneMILK]

I stool art and posted it when I was 7....Know one will know it was a pet from petscop....

[@Clashwithme101]

I am not the art artist so I don’t feel anything but if I was I would feel it I am mostly Decorous den

[@I-Beat-Raikous-in-my-basement]

Art stealing scares me.

[@dabestfroggo]

Omg I wss just watching one of their videos, and then I saw this.

[@sapphiremoonaj]

they always get mad ab rarity lmao

[@Whole_EclipseZ_OnPawz]

It was pretty obvious ,i mean..how can a art style change EVERY video/short?!

[@G_Blues]

I liked ‘‘ their art ‘‘ until I saw the comments which said “ I’ll support your art when you actually make them “ and then I realized the inconsistencies

[@sadgirl7321]

If you don’t know how to do correct anatomy (I get it: I struggle with hands a lot and still learn more tricks) just practice more on the anatomy then blatantly steal

[@dimehaze7274]

seeing art thieves demotivates me so much. xveex now has 22.9k subs. a whole 4k more. while ACTUAL original artists are out here working long and hard for watchers and notoriety, they get it from being a blatant art thief. sigh.

[@crybaby6845]

Pokemon Music 😁

[@magicalgirlanime_and_bfdi4ever]

The weird thing is, I think they kept changing their username just to look like a different youtube channel.. it’s bad.

[@C0ffeebeaniex3]

Stealing art is just l o w. It doesn't even matter if you have a good history, mosr likely you're gonna be called out. This is a bit off topic but I just dont understand why people even steal art. Like, they dont even credit? Tracing is fine, with the og artists' permission AND credit, "stealing" is fine, with the og artists' permission and credit, aswell. If they just credited the artist this whole issue would've been a bit less dramatic. But still, not their art.. This just disappoints me.

[@deepfriedsalte]

its disappointing they have more subscribers than me

[@RoxNRose]

Can I make a video about this? I’ll mention you! 🎉🎉

[@LeamonPuppy]

Yes you can! As much awareness as we can get is good!

[@RoxNRose]

@ Yes of course! I can’t believe people are still stealing art. As a person who did it when they started their channel, (obviously I got better) It is totally wrong.

[@haileyelliott3676]

Its been bothering me 2

[@maskey9]

Wow.

[@TellyVision-TV]

Wow, this is disappointing news. And I thought they were actually the ones who made the art. Boy was I fooled

[@crkfan100]

oh gross i was following them as well i unfollowed TY for telling us

[@InfinityzzStarzPawz]

Pls don’t ruin another person’s reputation /srs /rhetorical

[@LeamonPuppy]

@@InfinityzzStarzPawz do you not understand how bad stealing art is? It’s unfair to all the original artists this person is stealing from. Especially if the person stealing all the art is gaining monetization from it.

[@InfinityzzStarzPawz]

@ yes, that’s true, I understand that. I wasn’t trying to call anyone out. I think it’s fine only if they stop, apologize, and refrain from doing it again, which is what my friend djswag did. She quit aj because she got attacked by people who hated her. We haven’t spoken for at least a year now. (Not trying to defend art stealers, I’m also not calling anyone out. Sorry)

[@InfinityzzStarzPawz]

might delete this comment

​@@InfinityzzStarzPawz delete it.😊

[@InfinityzzStarzPawz]

@@totallynotvaltorsdaughter when were you a part of this? (Sorry if this sounds rude, I’m really, really, not trying to be rude)

[@miss.truffle5587]

When I went to look her up I noticed she changed her name to On_essie. That means she saw your video and changed her name

[@Tedisadoodleaj]

Yes I kept seeing this person and was wondering if anyone would bring it it so glad you stepped up to talk about it leamon 🖤💜🤍
