Tips on tracking down originals
Tineye is a new program that searches the internet for images, rather than words. It has become an invaluable system in helping track down the originals. It does require you to sign up but it is absolutely worth it.
Another tip on locating originals can be found on Photobucket. Should you find a copy of a stolen picture on that site, you can check the image information which provides the file name. Often times, the original name has not been changed and it will still contain the name of the artist.

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-- *headdesks over 9,000 times*
I previously sent a private Note to each of those people, explaining why screenshot edits are art theft and linking them to the rules. They've chosen to ignore it. Honestly, what is up with all those ACCURSED video game screenshot "demotivator" posters? I've started clearing them out, but some help would be very much appreciated.

Does someone know who the real artist of this fanart is: [link]
I've seen it posted to DA and other places for years by everyone and their mother, but I have no idea who drew it.
[link] Already reported all of her recolors and so did another Deviant.
[link] A couple traces and then just some little edits to screenshots.
[link] Tracing.
[link] Recoloring. And her journal has a link to her new account.
[link] Tracer. I didnt recognize any of the pictures, though.
[link] A trace here and there.
[link] A bit of recolors and screencaps uploaded into her gallery.
[link] She uses artwork in stuff like collages and such.
[link] She has some recolors.
[link] Uploading slopped together screenshots/fanart.
[link] Recoloring.
Some of these were found by looking through the suck-up fans of the one, the only, ~ShizueBluePower!

I have reported her countless of times, but no action has been taken. It has been about 3 months since my last report, and my patience is dwindling. I believe another person is on her case, judging by how fast the girl took down half of the stolen artwork when the good patron gave her a warning.
Here is a piece in particular that bothers me: [link]
It is obviously stolen, judging by the untainted watermark. Also, in the description she admits that someone else drew it, but later she began to insist that it was drawn by both she and her cousin, which blatantly contradicts any claim that she has made. Just look at the comments if any further proof is needed.
Now, after searching around with good 'ol Google, I have found the ACTUAL artist's amazing gallery: [link]
The picture that the theif uploaded was pasted together in Paint, and the actual pieces are separate.
Here they are in order:

I am hoping that other users will be able to crack down on this art thief and force her to remove this and all of the other stolen works (which is anything she has uploaded to her gallery).
Thank you for any support!

Other deviants have already reported him, but apparently at least one report has been deemed invalid by DA staff because it came from a third party and not the artist herself.
Here's what the artist had to say about the previous thief: [link]
I don't know if a link to it was provided in the report that was deemed invalid, but it might be a good idea (but not guarantee of success, as it wasn't in the previous case) to do so.

[link] To make a long story short, ~HawkfrostsAvenger suggested that dA should have a proper category (other than Scraps) for video game screenshots. The suggestion was promptly shot down, resulting in Epic Pwnage. Now all we need to make it perfect is to report ~HawkfrostsAvenger's screenshots.

And some "manga" pages too. But that's probably stolen as well.

ATTENTION DUELISTS! My hair detects a bad artist! (Aka me)
HAI! MAJIDE!!!!
Ch.1 Cover- [link] Also on this one, I think where he got it from; that person also stole it. I have the manga from the store and where it says "presented by manga-rain" isn't in it; probably a manga stealing person or company or whatever >:\

They were able to get stolen stuff on the "popular in 8 hours" section though.
Most of their gallery has been reported and removed, but we just need some help getting rid of the last few.
