Your joy of posting in Steem should not depend on getting credit for what is not yours and deceiving your audience.
Now that your charade is over you choose to leave, thats your choice and says a lot about you.
You had the option of citing your inspirations but you chose to steal and feed your vanity.
What's happening here?

Yes. I saw this after doing some sleuthing. She's good to go if she provides sources? Did any of the original base images have licenses stating the image cannot be altered or reproduced? I'm a digital artist myself. I've caught true art fraudsters myself here as well. It was obvious to me the original portrait wasn't the portion of the art she was taking credit for and I recall a post where she had stated something like "I found the original on the internet." Photo manipulation is an artform these days, provided the artist is following standard practices. I make mine from scratch. It was obvious to me she wasn't starting from scratch. She was taking credit for the alterations.
Yup this is / should be painfully obvious. I don't think that anyone who supported @lucydyer's posting, myself included, was under the impression she was claiming to have created the original photos.
If you look at some of these works, the original is barely visible. The art wasn't even about the original image and that was painfully obvious as well.
exactly
How is it obvious?
Looking at this post alone, I see no mention that the work she did was just alterations of an original. She even says "New Art!" which would have me thinking even more that this is a brand new piece of work created from scratch.
You have to look at each individual post individually. This is the first post I've discovered of this person, and if I was just browsing through STEEM and stumbled upon her work I would assume she was the artist of the entire work.
yes the image has heavy copyright on it, and yes, if she provides sources from now on , she is good to go.
That's standard practice in these cases. I guess the ball is in her court now.
@lucydyer, a lot of good people have your back here. Respect those copyrights. Provide sources when necessary. Nobody will think any less of you. We already knew those weren't made from scratch. This has happened to people before and in the worst cases ALL of their pending rewards were removed and the posts were greyed out. Don't take whatever happened personally. It's not as bad as it seems.
Good job Jaguar, you managed to scare another good artist away from the platform when we are trying to bring more. She used a normal photo as her inspiration and we are rewarding her great skills of photomanipulating and use of filters. Whan she is doing takes great skill and it is not important that she is using some faces as her base to work on. You did exactly the same thing with another artist, very talented in making portraits with a pen because he did not provided a normal photo he used as inspiration.
Try to find real plagiarists and stop hunting the few artists still posting here, you are damaging all of us...
It is not our problem if the "artist" rather leave than have the basic decency of crediting and showing the sources. As @nonameslefttouse clearly stated, it is standard practice in these kind of transformative artwork.
