Comment on How to source art by Lehanan
One of my friends stole your Jelsa sketch and claimed that belongs to him on facebook . No matter how I tried to talk to him, he still said that was him who drew that. I really sorry what he did. Though he still didn't take it off and kept showing everyone "his drawing"
Yes, the Jelsa sketch was my second victim. Man, this absolutely sucks... well, whatever.
If one day they'll need to base their art career in tracing or stealing others, they'll miserably FAIL.

Well, and he intends to be an art student or architecture student this fall semester (I don't think he will make it though). It was ashamed of him for doing such things. However, he's still acting like that was his work and he got praised for stealing your art. Somehow it's not fair, neither for him nor you. You should be the one who gets all the compliment, not him!
And like, he didn't even trace or redraw your work. He just downloaded the original work on DA, posted on facebook and BOOM! It became his "proud artwork." Too bad nobody believes me when I said he stole yours.

Can you provide me a link, please? I can easily "press charges" through FB (it's harder here in DA and Tumblr, but not in FB).

I gave you the wrong one. I really don't want to show his real idenity because he is my friend afterall
Well, then this is useless X_D I was just going to send him a private message to make him/her stop lying and taking MY work and claim it as theirs, but if you'd rather protect an absolute HORRIBLE ART THEFT, I can do nothing.
No, I really don't want to protect an art theft. But I don't want to lose our friendship too. If he knew I reported to you, well, he might get mad and start talking bad about me to the others
However, I have to do the right thing. Here is his fb link www.facebook.com/huycon.meo?re…
It's ok if you tell him who told you what he had done. Again, I'm really sorry for what he did. He's not a bad guy. Hope you could speak to him. He's not good at English though.
It's ok if you mention me to him or not. Still, I really don't want to lose a friend.

Thank you, really, I appreciate this.
I wouldn't mention you, of course. Last thing I want is damage others with this. Sad fact is he doesn't accept private messages so there's no way I can contact him unless I try to friend him - which I doubt he'll accept.
So I guess I give up. Shame on him. I can't believe how come someone who takes someone else's work and claim being the real artist is "not a bad guy" but whatever.
One day people will discover how awfully he lied to everybody and he'll get a well deserved punishment X) Sorry.
Thanks again!

Here you can see your work on his facebook.
He doesnt set his account to public so you may can't see anything if I send you the link to his post on fb

did it not help to link to the original here on Deviantart?
Im not sure why no one would believe you if you gave the source. It's easy to see that the style of the sketch matches Lehanan's entire gallery, and would predate his upload

I did took the picture of my screen ( because I mainly use tablet) and uploaded to my fb account to show him that who was the true artist. Ironically, everybody thought I got jealous of his "talent" and kept saying bad words about me. No matter how hard I tried to explain, nobody believes me.
And he didn't steal only Lehanan work, he stole another one too

Well, I mean copy and pasting a link to her gallery
But at least you tried! :3

I did and seemed like he deleted it. So...
What an awesome "friend" you got there, then. I don't even know how you can consider him/her as "friend" and want to protect his identity. That kind of people doesn't deserve ANY kind of respect, honestly.
But thanks for your effort.
