Christ!, your not safe even being yourself these days....have you told deviant about it??

SOmeone in the Poser forum recently posted a similar incident. Wonder if it's the same guy?

If they/he posses as me, I just hope hes a good artist! LOL...BUT, joking aide, this is TOTALLY wrong.

Theyre already on to him, but i think its time to make an example. Ill get his identity, eventually.

Good......I wonder if they can trace him/her? Edit Problem is when you (if you) join the site, will you also be banned??

Have you asked deviantart for the posters ISP?

WOW, Rochr swearing!
I know you must be infuriated, but there's something to be said about things like this;

Jealousy! I read just about everything you post when I'm here, and can't for the life of me think of any other reason someone would make such an obsessive move.

Rochr, a BANNED DEVIANT!
lol - it just don't sound right ;-)

Well someone use your name.. and your images.. it's not so bad finaly! a kind of "ubiquity" this would be worst if he used your images.. without your name. Take this as a weird kind of compliment.. you are so talentuous.. that he just want to be you! Cheers my friend

First time ive been banned. A premiere of sorts... Well, ive made a few posts here and there, and the looser is pretty much toasted as soon as they ask for wireframes or working shots. Still want his head though. These thieves are getting tiresome.

So you found Him/her?

And you are??........now please show me your newest work of art and your mole on your left cheek........of your bum!! ;)

Havent found his true identity yet. Right now i await answers from DA.

My comment was meant to be after pidjy's. You where thinking the same thing too!... you type to fast!!

Ah, I thought you meant they had to prove they were the artist by providing the wire.

Len.
(Well, at least I don't have a mole on my left cheek so I'm safe, and no I won't prove it, marcfx)

@Len LOL Sorry Rudy, this isnt fun time for you. You will find out in the end, then we all can send hate mails and naughty website links!

Rudy, Looks like your first fake post at Deviant Art was in defense of a person who got caught impersonating Valentina Kallias. Her fake is banned there too. Accept no substitutions, ask to see the tenticles;)

electroglyph - the morning fanta nearly went everywhere... but then I reread what you wrote and saw that it was "tenticles" lol.

Ratbags! Gimme the f888cker's adrdress, I'll smash him to smithereens! I HATE b&stards like that. SWINES!!!!! I wish the art world had a better way of dealing with theives like this. We're too lenient with them.

The funny thing is,if you do a bit of digging around that site,you'll find the impersonator asking if someone would make an avatar for him. This should have been a red flag to those folks over there. "I know I'm talented ,..but I can't seem to pull off making an avatar". What a moron. Tom

Wha.. Oh, a letter different and I could have been in real trouble. Sorry Sheriff, Mongo Straight!

Oh Gawd that is CRAZY... Unbelievable BTW..concrats Rudy. Tom

A bit late... but that's sinking to a new level of b*stardry!! Shootings too good for him(her?), they should be locked in a room with no computer for life! (Well, maybe not life, but it's jsut not cricket!) Mahray

deviantArt can kiss my a**! Any serious page would have taken that account down by now.

They may have the same problems completely removing an account like we do. Still, they could strip it of any info, stats, comments, etc. AS

Yeah, but a simple responce from DA would be nice. Well, either way, i put a message on my webpage about it, so he can link there as much as he want now. Or from any other account at DA, as far as im concerned. ):)

Dang...yeah, would be. DA misses out. :o/ AS

I agree, they should have stripped the site of all the Rochr posts at the very least.

Good luck with this Rochr, but if nothing else, it gives you a great excuse for a manacing render.

IE:
"Still want his head though."

Len.
(Gallows or a line-up spring to mind)

I agree, The way it is left now it still looks like the real Rochr is supporting the fake Valentina in the first DA post. They say that Rochr is a banned deviant but they don't say it's because he is also fake. It still leaves the door open for everyone to wonder why the real Rudy would support this person or what he did to deserve banning.

Well, he must be a moron, cos the art he have on the attileus nick is from this artist> http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=1050140&Start=1&Artist=attileus&ByArtist=Yes and from this one> www.weiweihua.com A simple genious this idiot. And the attileus nick is banned as well.

It's the evil rochR from an alternate dimension. Somebody must have let the kids play with the space portal controls again...

So sorry to hear you're having this problem again Rudy. This is nothing but identity theft, it may be in the virtual world but it's just as bad as identity theft in the real world. I do think matters like this should be taken as seriously as it is in the real world and dealt with appropriately, ie. criminal conviction. Hope you can resolve this with deviantArt they really should stop this sort of thing dead in it's tracks. Catlin

F'in prick. What a loser. If you get his personal info, make sure to post it.

'Nother late post I just wonder what someone gets out of pretending that that they are some wondeful artist when they must know that any praise offered isn't meant for them. Defeats the object of being an artist any way. I expect my stuff is Crap...but it is my stuff.LOL!!!

Lindans, Oh, no. It's not crap. In fact I found it rather interesting - I could wish that you'd say a little about why you made each piece as well as the product info when you upload though. I find that part fascinating, and I feel the gap when it's not there. Just IMO...

My oh my...Someone just crawled out of a hole. Alex Ritter, as he calls himself(unless its a stolen identity as well), used my name and images because- and i quote - "i didn't think you were ever going to come to dA" ... +( Well, i gave the guy a chance to come forward and confess, he took it and have deleted my name. A very smart move. Sadly, it seems like the best way of preventing more image thefts at DA, is to post the images there myself. :/

Unless all the kerfuffle means that YOU'VE been banned as well. (I'm not sure how such things work.) But just think, other people as well as us lucky ones here in Rosity should have the oportunity to see a REAL Rochr.

I wish you all the best, just don't abandon us lot, eh? (I just wish they'd come here instead of resorting to theft)

Rudy...just post ONE image over there at DA and at least that will save your username and no one else can take it again, no?

Abandon Renderosity? No way, will never happen, nada, aldrig i livet!!! :) I cant do anything about the username "Rochr", so i would have to use "RudolfHerczog" instead. Im ok with that. Besides, i dont plan to hang there, but simply post smaller versions of the images to minimize the risk of theft. Ill see, havent decided if its worth the trouble yet. :)

Hehe..I have image posts on PP and FaeryWylde as well...like to spread myself around a bit, ya know? ;)

It looks fine to me, jagill...unless I missed something.

The Renderosity page for
eXsSource and the artist's own site http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~m.mirage/home.html
reflect very different personalities. But maybe he's schizophrenic, which
could be why his work is so brilliant.

eXsSource is a fake! Here's an e-mail I got from the real artist:

From: almacan@r5.dion.ne.jp

To: Joe Gill

Subject: Re: Renderosity Gallery

???...I saw this page for the first time.
I'm not setup to this site "Renderosity".
Someone is putting my works without permission.
It's necessary to warn admin.
Thanks for your kindness!

Kazuhiko

value00 : Do you also have a homepage setup at Renderosity:
http://www.renderosity.com/homepage.ez?Who=eXsSource

I only ask, because your homepage and your Renderosity artist page
reflect very different personalities.

Interesting to say the least.
