Can you believe they gave him a 1-year Deviant art subscription as his prize? Several other fan artists entered that contest with original art, and he took their chance of getting that prize away from them.

I agree that copy-pasting for a contest is reprehensible!
I recognized the ClubShego pic instantly (I go there rather regularly)
The Rufus comparison makes me wonder if he may have actually copied free hand. But - would that make it better?

I've used artwork from the show as a model so I got the details right, or to help with a pose, but outright copying...I'm speechless.

I can't believe somebody would do this and think it's okay because he traced it (oh, I'm sorry, "used it for reference" <<). He doesn't deserve that subscription, all he deserves is a nice, permanent, BAN.

It's amazing how these people who are caught copying artwork suddenly, conveniently, can't speak English very well.

I just got a reply note from the club. They agree with me that this is an outrage. But unfortunately they already paid for his year-long subscription prize 3 days ago. They will attempt to recall it, but it may not be possible.

At the very least, the work needs to be publicly disqualified on the club page, even if the sub can't be refunded.
Perhaps some of us should get together and make sure the 1st runner up gets the proper prize if the club can't.

Everyone, I agree that what this person did was truly awful. I also agree that the subscription should be canceled. I figure if they can kick you out then they can also cancel the subscription.
However, I want to say this. Drakkenfan, this is not attack against you. You have the right to protect your art, and I fully back you in that endevor. But we all need to remember that we are writing/drawing a copywrited character and art. We have little to no right to the art except for our own enjoyment. Both Richard Sirois and I have found out this the hardway. We are angry and upset when someone uses our art to win a prize. How about someone using your art and gaining money for it. I know several artist who have had their art stolen for monetary gain and not just taking parts as this fellow did. I have seen Rich's art outright stolen all they did was edit his name off. Both of us have been approached about "The Lotus Bloom" Yet there is nothing we can do. Disney owns the rights to the character and the show. I said all of this to remind everyone, we have little rights to the show.
Now after I said all of that let's go after the scum. I think we should note the mods of DA showing that he admitted he cheated and used other peoples work. He may laugh now thinking he is so cool but plagaism is a banishable offense at DA. Show each of the pictures were copied and send it to the mods.
Other than supporting each other there is not much else we can do.
Sorry about the long post. The Captain

Plagarism is so screwed up.

I can only believe the popularity of Naruto was the primary reason this won. IMNSHO, the finished product wasn't that good.
