I came down to say this.

Seriously, OP: you have the evidence, go submit a report there once LiveJournal is back up.

There is also an art_theft community linked in the user info, I think, but you need to join that one in order to submit anything.

This is the sort of stuff that mustn't be kept quiet.

I'll drop by once LJ gets its mess together but I dunno if it'll do anything. I went back to the blogs of the people who posted the evidence and one of them left up an ask where the artist told them to take down the evidence because "it was resolved"... but all she did was delete her rips which still exist because reblogs never forget. She didn't learn her lesson because the commission trace happened several months after that :S.

I just. I used to really look up to her and her ideas seemed so neat but now I wonder how much of it is stolen.

Hurry, and screencap everything you can find anyway. (Download all the evidence still floating around too, just in case.)

Screencap the artists pictures in their gallery (if they have one too), as they could delete them.

People in a_b have looked at cases like this before, and many, if not most of them, are in the art commissioning business, so you can ask for advice first.

In fact, I advice you e-mail one of the mods for advice. (Or a Personal Message through LiveJournal once it goes back up, if you have an account there.)

(here is a DreamWidth mirror of the community; you can find their contact info here:

http://artists-beware.dreamwidth.org/profile

)

Send them something like:

"I suspect an artist is committing art theft for their commissions, but they denied this when I confronted them, and they also hounded the person who first suspected the theft and who had posted evidence until they took it down (but I have I screencapped it just in case).

What should I do? I suspect it really is art theft, but I don't have the means to prove it besides the evidence the other person collected. Could I send you what I have so you can tell me what you think, and whether or not I should post a beware on them on the artists_beware community?

I am lost on what to do here. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for your time."

same anon who replied to you

the community on livejournal is up now!

go pm a mod if you have a livejournal account

Ahhh thank you kind anon ;A;

any time, OP

I don't like this kind of behavior, and the more we call it out, the harder a time thieves will have of it and the more others will think twice before doing it
