Hello everyone!


It so happened that I launched my patreon page!

I have wanted to do this for a very long time and I am glad that I finally managed to do it. I really want to dedicate myself to this platform and I hope it will help me achieve success in my artistic journey.


I have worked on many exciting projects in the gaming industry, unfortunately, I can not always show the results of my work through the NDAs, or these are not arts true to myself that I'd like to show. It's hard for me to actively produce my own art because of my work, while that's what I'd like to focus on the most.


I'm sure most of you know already how this platform works, but if you aren’t familiar with Patreon, it’s an easy way for those interested in my work to see new exclusive content, step by step process and updates before anyone else. By contributing as little as $1 per month, patrons will enable me to dedicate more of my time to creating more art.


If you'd like to support me please choose the monthly pledge that best suits you - but don't worry! you can edit or cancel this at any time.


Also I’d be so happy to hear any feedback (good or bad) you could share in regards to my page!



Love!

Circumstances forced me to write a big request, directed to you all. Well, a thief who once copied and stole my arts, ALMOST ENTIRE GALLERY, after half a year of "break" decided to come back and continue her disgusting actions. That's right, we're talking about "Delaney Shultz".

Summary of what drama happened:
Delaney is an art thief who steals my "chamiko arts" 

She steals them in such a way that she performs plagiarism, without my consent or knowledge. From the very beginning, she blocks me so that I can't write to her or her followers who do not know anything about it. Delaney draws exactly the same pictures as I had, she's basing on them and creating copies that include my idea, composition, storytelling, etc. She never mentions that she has used on my work in 100% as a base. She claims she can do what she does because it's not bad because she's just 'inspired.' Any attempt to explain her that she crosses the limits of 'being inspired' and that she just steals, ends up her laughing. Delaney has one explanation for everything: she is being inspiried and she has the right to use references without the permission of the original artist. She has been repeatedly reported, banished on all pages and yet she reposts deleted posts by admins and announces that she will not stop and we all can F off. She claimed to be my fan but she did me so much harm, especially mental, than any other hater.


I believed once that she has changed and started working on herself. Unfortunately, just like she never apologized to my friends whom she insulted here, she never "understood" that she was doing wrong. Delaney again decided to harass me by stealing not only my arts, but also an identity. She blocked me on some new pages like artstation, probably thinking that I would not realize that she had stolen some of my new arts again, but I knew it anyway. I also thank all those who informed me about her return.

Delaney uses different nicks. Here are links to her pages, on which she places copies of my works.:

Delaney, if you think that changing the color of the dress is enough to make your art "original", then you're wrong. It is another proof that you're stealing and you want to hide the truth behind your shitty arts. 

Steal3 by mentoskovaRequest Chamiko by mentoskova
This dress is not even mine, the design belongs to my friend Itanatsu. I credited her, but Delaney ofc couldn't do the same.

Steal4 by mentoskova7 by mentoskova

Shame on you, Delaney. What you're doing is not an "inspiration". It is stealing. Plagiarism. And you know it very well, you just think that you can fool everyone, but the whole world tells you that YOU ARE WRONG.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE MAKING A CRIME. At the very moment when you decide to make another plagiarism of my work YOU INSTANTLY BLOCK ME EVERYWHERE so maybe I might not see it. 
You are acting on purpose, you cover it, because you just want to steal my profit from creating these arts. You want people to praise you for something you did not create by yourself. You steal my ideas, my concepts. Again: no one forbids you to draw fan art of chamiko. Just start creating something original from THE BEGINNING, use your own brain. 

But why am I repeating myself and shredding my tongue? You simply do not have a conscience.

She goes even further now. She tries to put more changes into her plagiarized arts but you can still see from where she comes from.

The whole intention of her to take my art, rip it off and make something similar - THIS IS A DEFINITION OF PLAGIARISM.
And the fact that she is doing it for so long is a SERIOUS CRIME. Especially that she does not credit me and just blocked me.

This is the perfect example how awful Delaney is. She has stolen my concept and idea from a comic "Because you are loved" and make a plagiarism art, where she added Kimiko's talking in attempt to hide the similarities. But... xD Still the idea, the concept and actually everything else is taken from me. The whole event takes places in a bedroom with sleeping wildcats on a floor, Chase is checking his baby, the baby is sleeping in a dragon bed that I designed, Chase's dialogues are copied... I mean it's so obvious... xD But yeah, in description she says that the idea and concept don't belong to anyone else and that she is not stealing.



As you can see, she does not only copy my art and ideas, but also the texts that I wrote ... It is already stealing not only creativity but also identity. She literally impersonates me, tries to pretend me. Even in some of her comments, she writes in a style similar to mine. I also got information, that she was once writing messages and emails from her fake accounts to herself, where she was also imposing me. This is sick. But as we can suppose, no one in the mind would do something similar.

I deal with her for over a year now.

I HUMBLY ASK YOU ALL FOR SUPPORT IN THIS CASE.

By sharing this journal wherever you can and by reporting Delaney you help me a lot. And not only me, but you also help other victims as well. Delaney steals not only from me.
 I was stupid, believing that she could change. Many times I tried to explain her peacefully that she is doing wrong. But as you all know, I was far too patient and naive, and she is just doing everything on purpose. She is manipulative cheater, who laughs at me. She has no mercy towards me. Even when she tags her images she create # like "f*ck _you _skyrawathi". These six months of peace were wonderful, but as we can see, nothing lasts forever.
Personally, I have already reported her on all of her pages. I would like to encourage you to do the same.


I am ready to provide even my data or written consent/permission to anyone who would like to pursue it on my behalf.

I truly encourage you all to do this. I am tired of this bullshit. I don't want to be afraid of publishing new arts just because she is out there somewhere, waiting to copy something new. Especially that I am not the only victim of her. 
All of her copying actually brings her original work into suspicion...! I mean, just take a look at these arts. 

Steal7 by mentoskovaSteal6 by mentoskova

THEY ARE ALL DRAWN IN DIFFERENT STYLES. Just like she was copying from different artists as well. The way eyes are drawn and body proportion.... It's just unnatural. I believe these images are just another copies.
THIS HAS TO END. Who knows who will be her next victim? 

I'm going to be loud and shout about it everywhere where I can. Here, on Twitter, on Fb, on Reddit. The world will know the truth about Delaney. The truth that she is not creative, not talented, and definitely not normal. 

Once again, I humbly ask you for help. She can't get away with this. There must be justice here on the Internet. On dA she is trying to avoid her perm ban, which also shows how much she respects the law. I will probably sound poetically, but are not laws what distinguishes us from animals? 

This stupidity of her must be stopped.


Thank you,
Skyrawathi

First I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I hope you spend this time better than me. I certainly do not feel Christmas this year because of the worries I have on my head. I decided to make a summary of this year. As short as possible.

:xmas: 

This year was quite special for me. I managed to increase the number of my followers and make progress in my art. I hope that next year will be even better. My career goes ahead and I achieve a lot, despite obstacles and worries. You must know that as a concept artist I work for as many as 4 companies. Mainly as a freelancer. I already have 4 games on my account, about which I will tell you more soon. At the turn of February / March I will be able to show you the work that I did for the needs of two games. You just have to be patient, because I really have a lot of content to publish and show you what excites me. Especially, I would like to praise you, because I have partnered with a Chinese developer who is doing for such giants as Riot or Blizzard, and I am also a big fan of China. I'm working on something great and I can not wait to show you that, really. In addition, there are also my own projects as well.

2 years progress by mentoskova

I met a lot of wonderful people, especially fans of my work. I am overjoyed that there are people among you who support me, motivate and inspire me. You have no idea how much it means to me. I really like hearing what you like the most in my art so that I know what to produce even more in the new year.
I would like to thank you very much for your support and comments. You are great and wonderful. I love you all. Especially, that I have a difficult period of wrangling with an art thief, which lasts for several months and there is no end.

Of course, this year I scored a few failures and unpleasant situations. As I mentioned, one of the unpleasant situations is a thief. I am harassed, persecuted, I receive offensive letters and my paintings are brazenly copied all the time. Also I met some haters of pics with my otp, that are always ready to post sth rude about this fictional ship... Still I will never do the same to them. :)

This year also contains blunders on my part. I did not manage to finish many projects and accomplish many of my goals. Mainly for lack of time. I should definitely slow down a bit, because stress and overworking is reflected in my health. On the other hand, I do not want to slow down ... I certainly have to try to find a new way to achieve my goals. I would like to publish more of my arts after all. For this I would like to be more responsible. I did not manage to make some orders for clients, for which I apologize terribly. I remember that all the time, but I just do not find time for it. I have a problem with drawing for myself, so the worse with drawing for someone. However, I will try to do something about it. You have my word.

The new year will also be special for me in that I'm getting married. And I organize this wedding in Italy, Rome, which is very exciting for me. Preparations for the wedding also consume a lot of time. Especially looking for the perfect wedding dress.

In all this complicated world full of worries and matters, I have to find somehow my way to be successful.  I hope that my career will continue to develop at such a fast pace, that I will improve my health, that the wedding will be successful, that I will defeat the art thief once and for all, that my social media and followers will continue to grow, that I will develop my art and I will continue to make progress and, above all, that I will find more time for my projects.

I wrote too much.
In a nutshell: THANK YOU ALL FOR SUPPORT FOR THAT YOU ARE HERE! I hope to see you also next year. I love you and wish you all the best. Do what you love, fulfill your dreams and take care of your health! Let's all remember that we have only one life and we must experience it the best!
