the samples don't look consistent, but, not really unconsistent enough to look stolen to me? they're probably just taking money and not doing them, which is awful on its own right.

the image urls aren't showing up other places. I didn't do a 100% thorough search but yeah, I'd be willing to bet quite a lot that they're not stolen.

um. and I forgot that I didn't just do the image urls (cause reuploading is a thing) but a search-by-image too.

you know what would throw reverse image search off? adding a huge ass signature, some quick colour, or edits over top

Did this http://i.imgur.com/oUViC5Z.jpg do that though? The one that's supposed to be the most fishy?

sa
idk, I guess I couldn't tell if it did have edits over top.

But goodness, I have *no idea* why those all can't be from the same artist because my own art style/s are not all similar and asfdjafd?

ayrt

my own art style isn't always the same either, having a ton of range is good and not a red flag in itself at all! but there's a pretty wide skill gap happening here, sometimes in the same image.... which doesn't make sense at all. why would someone with enough skill to draw those dogs straight up trace a ridgeback head? why would someone draw great corgi lineart and then slap dot eyes over the eyes they drew and sketch out stitches in the lineart rather than the sketch layer? why is the collar/tag drawn so poorly?

Hm, I am starting to understand - thanks.

It's mainly the sketch eyes that's getting me; I can't think of any reason why you would sketch out eyes on a character without eyes. If that was an adoptable base then I can kinda get it, but it's not so...they wasted time sketching out eyes, only to then slap on a circle over their carefully drawn eyes??

nah the fishiest one by far is the stein corgi one. this one is just out of place.

idk where it came from and can't reverse image search since i'm on mobile, so i have no idea :/

yeah that one is a bit, I don't want to look at it too long, so I didn't do a big detailed search with that one.
