A helpful deviant recently alerted me to my first ever case of art plagiarism! You can see a screencap here -- the "artist" in question basically did a hack job of cutting Tutu out of my piece here, and pasting her on a white background along with a similarly badly extracted Fakir, drawn by some artist I've yet to identify. What I find the most hilarious is that they tried to pass this off as a single piece drawn by a single original artist, when Tutu and Fakir are drawn in completely different styles. XD I censored the person's username because they took down the piece already, so no point in stirring up more wank, but I still found it too amusing not to share. Also check out their response to being caught:
My comment: Hi there! I'm the artist of one of the pieces you plagiarized to make this. This is to let you know that I fully intend to report this to DeviantArt. But before I do that, I figured I'd give you a fair chance to take it down of your own free will.
Their reply: ...huh? oh.
CLASSY!
