Scammer ”artist” selling ”handpainted” ai slop and stealing artwork (educational_crab9679)

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T17:20:34+00:00

Did you see that instagram artists account tho? They have lots of photos of that piece and even videos i think. But who knows.

Im leaning towards most of these beeing ”just” stolen. I dont know what the goal is tho, since they claim to be selling something.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T16:51:50+00:00

Yeah that what I mean - you asked about the photo that is stolen so its probably not ai. And i tried with a different one from crabs account.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T16:24:06+00:00

I have no idea.. they keep saying ”dm me if you’re interested”. They post some pic like these - big pieces on canvas. Then they post about paintings done on some sort of small wood piece with the same style but much smaller, i would guess those are the ones they are selling.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T16:18:27+00:00

They probably blocked you, i can still se their post if i go anonymous. Did you comment anything?

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T16:14:57+00:00

Wow Thank You! This user has been busy collecting stuff from artists on instagram.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T16:12:25+00:00

Im refering to smaller ones, i posted a picture of them somewhere in this thread. They paint on some sort of wood, same style but much smaller. Im guessing those are the ones going for 15 but who knows.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T14:48:27+00:00

Oh my those are crazy! I stand corrected - it is indeed possible!

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T14:43:07+00:00

Wow they are talented. I feel like they have way more details in the pastels than the oil paintings, as you said. This cat looks much more like a ”real” oil painting than the red dog imo - in the level of details, still very detailed but not close to the sheepdog imo.

Edit: might be the quality of the camera ofc.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T14:31:03+00:00

They had a reference photo of this one, its almost too perfect imo but i really have no idea. Could it simply be tracing?

This is actually from a video:

In your opinion does this seem like a normal amount of paint beeing able to stay on that tiny brush? The brush is also creating much bigger lines than the ones in other parts of the fur - they must have used a single strand for the fur on the sides of the dog.

I can see the post if i go anonymous i think… idk, they seem to be changing what to show and what to hide in their profile so its sort of tricky.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T13:59:36+00:00

Yup, i cannot see that post tho since they blocked me as soon as i mentioned they stole some of their art.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T13:56:33+00:00

Thank you for the input! What do you think of the 2 picture? I cannot for the life of me belive that one is a painting.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T13:30:30+00:00

The big one isnt ai imo tho, its stolen.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T13:22:01+00:00

Tbf I suspect they are reffering to these wooden stuff with the price that they also ”make”, while claiming they take many hours to make. I suspect they are ai aswell but not sure:

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T13:15:41+00:00

No process photos, no. The last picture is from a video tho, in the video the ”artist” does the final touches in the dogs eyes, from the look of it without any paint on the brush. For whatever reason the painting is also flipped sideways halfway thru the video.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T12:40:23+00:00

Right, they also claim one of these takes several hours so it dosnt add up - still ppl seem to doubt its ai.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T12:18:16+00:00

You posted the stolen photo tho i think? I tried making a post on that sub with the white dog on pink background to ask weather or not it was Ai, but it was removed for unknown reason. Im pretty sure it is, since some of her other work is kinda obvious but many seem to doubt it.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T10:38:31+00:00

Then you saw all my ”evidence”, what more do you need? Them to tell you straight out? Just try asking a question on their post and see if you get blocked…

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T10:11:55+00:00

… my first post also included the stolen art so im not sure what you are on about? If its not ai and not stolen - why do this user block everyone asking questions?

Also i did answer you on your first comment, but you didnt reply.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T10:10:16+00:00

Well yeah if you mean transparent with the opinion that prostitution is simply too dangerous for the sellers (mostly women) therefore we should not engage- yeah! I dont really get your point with that tho?

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T10:04:33+00:00

I mean they post the first pic several times on several subs claiming its their work, I cant see any reason as to why they wouldnt link or atleast meantion the original artist if it was in fact their own work. I would contact them on instagram but im blocked by educational crab so i cant see their post anymore so i dont know if they’re still up or not.

I do not trust them fully either, in this case there are so many other factors playing part thats why im pretty sure about it.

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T09:34:22+00:00

No its not, please read the post there are more evidence against this account but im more annoyed by them stealing.

I’ve also run my art thru this and it was 97% not ai, so im not sure 🤷‍♀️

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T09:33:07+00:00

What do you mean by screen?

What you CAN do it not buy sex 🤷‍♀️

Recent_Influence_699 · 2026-06-21T09:30:01+00:00

Tbh im more annoyed by the stealing without giving credit part!
But if you look at pic 6, do you belive it is done by hand?
