And so, it has come to pass that it seems SOMEONE has decided to go one better than just getting pay content without paying for it... no. Someone has taken it upon themselves to take someone ELSE'S pay material and... what else GET PAID FOR IT!
This was posted anonymously by someone on some imageboard... but it seems pretty obvious that - assuming this is an ACTUAL comic from Expansion Mansion... this is pretty straight forward art theft. Notable by the remarkably invisible phone that the character on the left page is holding in the bottom right... and the generally inferior nature of all the art. Far too much coincidence, really.
Not exactly something Expansion Mansion needs, I imagine. The site already enjoys a LESS than wholesome reputation... but then, Bambi Blaze made her fair share of enemies when stuff went down with Stromzone some years ago - as OTHER drama has proven. So, this may well be another attempt to undermine her already besmirched character further.
If anyone would care to confirm that the left page is an actual Expansion Mansion comic and when it was released so that date can be tabulated for the sake of sceptics... and who the hell the artist was? It really isn't on. Portal Comic is doing this for a living - for that art to just be taken and reused is not just wrong, it's a CRIME.
Do what you must, my friends - if this turns out to be for real, it must not stand.

I can't say I'm the least bit surprised. People in this community, especially on deviantart, don't care about stealing and often defend those that do.
ReplyDeleteOh, sadly all too easy to believe.
ReplyDeleteI know more than a few people on DA have made a hobby out of just tracing the likes of Jollyjack - and that's just plain stupid as he's so ridiculously well known - and so on and doing "commissions" but for it to be a pay site...
It saddens me that our small community would stoop to this. I'm just hoping it's an isolated incidence.
