Y'know your art is good if a big company is gonna trace your art

I can't belive CN would steal from their own fans,holy shit that's a new low

Even if it's a reupload, and the subject is water under the bridge for you, glad you're trying to keep it posted so people know about the art thief issue with CN (that I keep hearing rumours that they still have problems with, they seriously need to fix their hiring process)

I know this is a repost since I’ve seen this video before but I’m sorry that must feel extremely discouraging. Please keep going strong about this.

The way you clowned the person who said you victimized yourself by showing his stolen merch the embarrazzment 💀🤚🏻

You can tell they obviously didnt mean it when they said you "inspired them".That doesnt even help,because even though they gave credits,they only posted that after they finally got called out for it.Im sorry this happened,and hope you feel better about it.

For the little story at the start... Like, stealing art is already bad enough, but IMPERSONATING SOMEONE?? ISN'T THAT STRAIGHT UP ILLEGAL???? IDENTITY THEFT IS ILLEGAL RIGHT??? I'M NOT INCORRECT AM I???

Nothing makes me more furious that this video was taken down. It's not okay for big companies to trace and steal others artwork. It doesn't matter if the artwork is public that doesn't excuse a company taking it.

This is becoming more common now…Disney did the same thing to another artist and even sold the stolen artwork in their shops. It’s was crazy.

This is disgusting. Just because you’re a big company with millions of dollars does NOT give you any right to trace someone’s art! And to think they only have credit when they were called out. I agree. Please sue them. That probably took so long. It doesn’t deserve to be traced…

This shows how corrupted companies can be with fans.Steling from them for their own benifit

dude, i cant imagine the how mentally taxing this would be. i would be so mad every time it crossed my mind. gotta have a lot of patience and maturity to NOT freak out about it.

Gorgeous masterpiece!! I am so sorry your art got stolen but at least this person got caught. Your not the only one who's art got stolen. During class time at OSB one of my class mates stole one of my artwork and tried to take all the credit. But my friend Justin caught him and inform the staff and that student was officially kicked out of art class. See you on your next video. :)

those bastards. As an artist myself, this never happened to me, but if it did I would go on a complete meltdown.

Props to you for not sweeping this situation under the rug

Man, wasn't Cartoon Network called out for tracing before? I'm sorry for you Man... It sure feels very frustrating

Literally the people who said “attention seeker, inspired, not traced” probably didn’t even notice the mouth is the same, and the eyes are so obviously traced, even the bottom lashes, which on the other eye isn’t even correct.

I can’t believe a big company with MILLIONS of dollars couldn’t hire someone to make original art 💀

the cut to "maybe I'll be tracer" at the end got me LOL

I know this video is old but I’m so sorry this happened. You deserved so much better than this, your art looks lovely! Honestly I’ve been kind of scared of people stealing my fanart too. It’s something that I put a lot of time into and love, it helps me improve my skills as well as just giving me something to look forward to doing. I have this persistent idea in my mind that I can’t do anything to really defend or protect my fanart because I don’t have the copyright to the characters, even though I made the art with them in it. And just to know that a big company like Cartoon Network would do something like this is just disappointing, because they DO own the copyright but think that doing this is okay. I just find that taking advantage of fans who love their shows like that is honestly pretty cruel. I’m sorry I’m talking a lot I just have a lot on my mind.

this just means that your art is so good that CN themselves had to steal it

Cartoon Network has a history of sealing artwork And you are not the only one There was another artist who made total drama fanart and they stole it

I can’t believe this always happens No one should have to go through that everyday Your art is amazing and I love it so much!

Your art is so good even Cartoon Network wants to trace it 🥳

Sue them if they steal your art. Threaten it, drag their name through the mud. If it goes public it hurts them a lot more than most think

This took loving a fan art so much that it can be posted in your channel into a whole another level

omg, it reminds me of story how some person on wildberries(russian online-shop) was using my mom's art without her permission (your art with Nora is amazing!)

When the shady side of KZfaq starts to show, I'm sorry you had to go through this

I just found this on my FYP and I am so sorry that happened to you, mate!! As a fellow artist I am appalled by the actions of Cartoon Network and those who were bitter towards you and your struggles.

rewatching to help this video get back up there!

I 10000000% agree that Cartoon Network is tracing your art, which is hilarious because their one of the biggest cartoon companies and they "don't have time" to credit someone who puts hours of work into an art piece.

I was a bit confused at first but glad it’s back up

awe dude that sucks that you had to reupload this I still hope things are doing alright for you🌹

Imagine being a famous,rich and verified TV company whom can literally afford to pay/hire any professional to draw them anything they want and instead of doing the previously mentioned you just take someone's art,changes one thing and then posts it without proper credits to the original artist and only credits them AFTER being called out ( AND STILL NOT CREDITING PROPERLY ) 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 AND ALSO IMAGINE SUPPORTING TRACING JUST BECAUSE A FAMOUS COMPANY DID IT SO YOU THINK IT'S OK BECAUSE IT'S A COMPANY 💀💀💀💀

Honestly at first thought this was just a joke or like some tracer pretending but when I saw it I was like “yeah…. NO.” I was completely wrong and now I dislike whoever runs that account.

ngl this aro and black thing was overstepping it but it is a trace and it show that CN has no creativity (or at least the artist)

They did it because art is work, and inspiration is a rare commodity, thanks to Disney and the Rockerfellers. If you ever see any stylized art of any character posted by a company, there’s a chance that they commissioned it from a busy hack who thought that they could copy it and get away with it, because small artists rarely catch a break.

*KZfaq Senses Are Tingling* 👀!!! I sense that KZfaq has something to do with this reupload and the original one being deleted! How dare they! DAMN YOU, KZfaqEEEEEE!!! And I'm also sorry about CN Tracing your art work! You work so hard on it tooooo and they decided to Tracing it!?!?! Shame on you, Cartoon Network! 😤

I must say that art piece is so pretty! I love your artstyle

Your art is adorable. I can’t 😭 (trying to give positivity on this sad video)

It’s been a year but I want to give this perspective: this could be used as evidence to freelance or contract for CN! This doesn’t have to end in a loss taken. It’s proof of good work- use that as leverage. The incident I refer to for thinking of this option is a video (I can’t remember the video’s creator! Sorry!) talking about Harley Quinn as a character in the animated Batman. She was not canon. The animator working on the series essentially inserted Harley into the story line and she BECAME canon because of the reception and how well she fit in the lore. Harley Quinn is technically a fan character turned canon because, the creator of said fan character being integrated, was also an animator/artist working on the series. (If you’ve seen the video I’m referring to please feel free to reply with a link!) While your situation is flipped, I believe it’s still applicable. I think you’ve very clearly shown you can make memorable characters to integrate into a well loved series and be well loved themselves. I say use this situation (this video and all!) to set your rates; propose a contract on your terms; get your money; and get your credit and characters out into the world with them in a way that benefits you as well! Creating good fan art is a tender line to dance on but, I believe there’s options out there so that you aren’t cutting any kind of loses. I hope things are better now. 💝

Aight ima just admit something real quick. I don't do this anymore but I used to trace other people's art.. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE I STOLE IT!! I didn't post it anywhere and claimed it as my own! I only traced over certain parts cuz I wanted to try and get better at things like face expressions, body anatomy, etc. IM not trying to encourage tracing behavior cuz obviously it's ridiculous. But i just wanted to get that off my chest

I literally kept having to pause your video to rant about this to my partner. Your mention of your art being "cannon" as Nora now, is honesty so true. They stole your art, and gave a faceless name a face. Now if Rebecca Sugar were to want to make a spin off or something, she'd probably have to use your design.

Inspiration is not stealing a character, inspiration is taking ideas from someone to create something else not to trace their art. Even if it's "not traced" they still stole your character and only credited you when they got called out. I'm sorry you had to go through that, but it's good that you settled it out! :)

Imagine making fan art for a show and then the show traces that and it’s now in the show. That would be crazy and weird

i remember seeing your instagram post and video when it first happened. i'm still sad they didn't credit you ;(

I thought CN wasn't for tracing wth😭😭

Gorgeous art piece. I am so sorry they traced you. It is not a nice thing to do after giving lots of efforts while its getting stealed. You can add watermarks on your art to keep it safe. It would be kinda hard to delete that huge watermark.

It's sad that even big plat forms like cartoon network would do this. They should be sued for art theft and identity theft. Because that " inspired by " sounded completely fake. I hope you get you're justice:]

Imagine your art being so good that a company traces it

a big company?? Idc if this was 2 years ago but its still not acceptable like wtf CN???(im so sorry for what they did)

Good ol corporates being shameless as usual.

Non artists usually can't tell when it's traced or not, especially when the person traces and then slightly change things around. Clearly your art got traced here, and I'm sorry to hear.. It's not even "Inspired" because otherwise it would look completely different

Girl I feel so sorry for you I'm a young artist and I can even emphasize how it must feel to get your art stolen by a big company that must feel very bad did they even credit BTW I didn't get to finsh the vid cause of school

bros art was so good a whole company traced it :sob:

the way they credited you was very ingenuin and i feel like they did that because of the hate it didnt seem like they even wanted to credit you, but fr your arts amazing i always enjoy seeing ur art videos

Ik how it feels to have art traced or copied, and they also called it “inspiration” and as an excuse asked me if i knew how many people copied the mona lisa which is ridiculous cause that is a famous painting and im just a girl drawing on the playground 😑. I think you handled this in the best way possible.

I notice that alot of KZfaq artists like you use IBIS Paint. And I'm just wondering if this was on a phone or if you found a way to use it on other devices (i.e. Laptop and or PC) because so far I've only been able to use it on my phone.

It heart aches me that people say they didn't trace. It's just dumb I compared it myself and it was almost identical I rlly don't know why people keep saying ur the bad guy this video and art is amazing you really deserve more credit. This is just messed up

Awww I’m so sorry that your drawing got traced! This is horrible! How could they do this? Btw, your artwork is amazing!

Worst fact is, if you didn't call them out and your fans, they wouldn't have shown credit

they didnt trace the candy bar, they legit copy pasted it. i remember seeing that candy bar lol

I am so sorry that this whole incident happened to you, btw that art you were making in the video ATE and left NO CRUMBS, you licked that plate CLEAN, no dishwasher needed!!❤❤

you know you’re a good artist when you make art of a character and the company who made the character originally traces your art

I know I'm very late to this video but I am so sorry this happened to you! I hope whoever was in charge of this thinks of how they embarrassed themselves on the internet every night. I wish I could say I'm surprised that a big company would steal from a smaller artist but I'm happy that at least they did credit you (even if it was done in a passive aggressive manner)

The thing is, why didn’t they just ask? 😭 are they that prideful that they didn’t wanna ask a random person on the internet to use their picture for ref or something? Like I’m quite sure NO ONE would reject 💀 they legit tried to take advantage over the fact that they felt like no one would recognize ur art

Where's my army at?? We gon sue them

Woah! Her drawing skills are awesome!

Remember kids: tracing is ok if you're using it to learn, not to steal art

"I mean you give zero (sparkle sounds) about-" the blurs are funny

I can’t believe a huge company would do something so wrong.

Thats really rude, especially beacause its a big company, if your a big company you can't just set a example thats telling people is ok to trace peoples art.

imagine making a cartoon and not being able to draw it in a better way lol. a big company shouldnt copy someone's art and not credit them

This is why many miss the old Cartoon Network.

When I do trace, I keep it to myself and usually just use it to get better at drawing or just for fun, but I never post it

im going to say the reason i stuck around for your video ....and the ONLY reason is because you are EXTREMELY well spoken. Good on you for shedding light on your situation.

One unfortunate part of this is that if you did try to sue, you would likely get countersued instead [or a threat of it]. Fan art is in a grey area legally, and creators can sue you for it, and then someone has to decide if it's different enough to fall under fair use. Most big companies don't do this because fan art is free marketing basically. Rulings have been friendlier to fan creators in regards to fair use, but I'm not certain they've officially changed.

EVEN IF UR INSPIRED YOU SHOULD STILL GIVE CREDIT TO THE ARTIST WHO YOUR INSPIRED BY😔😔😔 ESPECIALLY IF YOU STRAIGHT UP TRACE

That's just cruel, I hope you feel better soon!

All those people who are named Nora or Steven: Am I , Special?...

Your art is so pretty! Glad its solved:)

A company tracing your art is not normaal.

Sasha: "Now I'm wondering if they didn't trace the chocolate bar as well" Me: *Looks down at my partly eaten chocolate bar* Also Me: "Oh no..."

Steven if pink diamond kept her form:

This is one of me fears when I post my art online(thus why I barely post it).

People have no respect for artists whatsoever 🤦‍♀️ Smh

I cant Believe cartoon did that. I hope you feel better

Damn. I'm glad things were settled in the end. Oh.. and, at least you now are able to have an interesting story (WITH PROOF) about how freaking CARTOON NETWORK OF ALL COMPANIES traced your art. That's not something a lot of artists can say! (& while it's definitely not a positive story, it's still something i guess.)

I feel that if the post was about aroace awareness, then it would be relevant. Still an awful thing to do ofc, and I'm very sorry that happened.

This is so unbelievable I am so sorry this happened to you this is just disrespectful on so many levels like bro wtf

I recall a toy of Steven, the back of his hair actually resembles a rose. We probably couldn’t see it in the cartoon because his hair is so dark.

It’s such a good inspiration that it looks exactly like the original drawling

This is why I'm scared of showing my art

I trace like eyes and body’s so I can get better at it I NEVER EVER repost it and say it’s mine I just think it helps me I don’t show anyone either

I can’t believe this video got taken down

I bet they expected you to say “Omg! Cartoon Network used my art! This is amazing!”

Im a new subscriber! And im soo sorry for what happened :(( but also.. HOW IS UR ART MADE IN IBISPAINT?! omg im so bad at using ibispaint 😭🤚

God Cartoon Network is hypocritical

I think your art is amazing and i'm glad i got to find out about this at least your art got semi-officialized in a way :))
