I've seen a very similar picture from another participant Seen this post from the main thread of the art contest and it's a great find by @Veleor. I guess this is plagiarism in a sense because of the idea being copied though it isn't the same drawing he just put some side dishes to look like it is his own. Is he worthy of this post made by theymos? - If people are stealing artwork (ie. not just using stock images, but true plagiarism), leave them negative trust.
That's plagiarism right there. This shows what some users do just to get things. The drawing is not worthy of being merited though. And for violating the contest rules, he deserves to be punished. I'm archiving his submission just incase. ( Archive)

If anyone wondering why I made this, actually I did it for myself, it's because I also joined the contest, and I keep checking my chance to get the 'Art Badges'. That will be kind of leverage since I am offering design service in this forum, ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

That will be kind of leverage since I am offering design service in this forum, ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I think you should look at total Merit instead of just theymos' Merit if you want a better idea of your chances to earn a badge. - Between 1 and 20 (depending on number of submissions) people will receive art contest recognition badges: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcointalk.org%2FThemes%2Fcustom1%2Fimages%2Fbadges%2Fartcontest.png&t=665&c=xaBKRHnnS38Lkg) , based mainly on community consensus of who had the best art. In judging consensus, I will be substantially but not entirely influenced by the total amount of merit your art received. I made 10yearBitcointalk.tk with all contributions sorted by "most Merit first". If it's going to based on the number of Merit received, I might even qualify for an art badge ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) That can't be right, let me quote myself: I'm not much of an artist
I didn't see your entry before, because my browser animates .gif only once. So when I scrolled by, I only saw a black line.

I made a brief summary of which posts received +10 Merit from theymos, in the art contest
If I'm not mistaken, Theymos merited arts from page 1 to 6 only. Maybe he'll be back on the day of the deadline to put more merits on which entries he likes the most. But then again as he said, merits doesn't define the user's chance of winning the contest. If it's going to based on the number of Merit received, I might even qualify for an art badge ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) That can't be right, let me quote myself: I'm not much of an artist Lol, lucky are those who will going to receive the badge. I dont know the exact number of entries, what I only know is the very slight chances for me to get the badge and the reward.

Is anyone interested in "sharing" the creation of my art idea? Here it is: I would like to make Interactive Art, but I'm not an artist so there's no way I can make this look good. It would work like this: with a poll in a new thread (or positive/negative feedback left on a few dummy-accounts), Bitcointalk users can vote. The resulting vote will be used to update the artwork (every few minutes). Votes could for instance be for "Bitcoin", "dollar" or "euro", after which a pile of coins or banknotes grows (like bar graphs) on top of a nice background image to show which one is most popular. Making it interactive would be a nice touch that no other artwork has yet, but like I said: I lack skills ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I can make the scraping and automated image editing if I partner with someone who can create the "base" images. Thoughts? Ideas? Interested? Good? Bad? Please do tell ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

One member, which received more than 100 merit in the art contest topic, wrote that he took the "base image" from another website, but at the same time his nickname is specified on the picture. I suppose, this can make a confusion that this user painted most of the image.

Note that he originally posted it without Credits, and edited his post 2 days later. I can't know for sure when during those 2 days the Credits were added. It's still funny and fits the contest.

How does it fit the contest?? Post original bitcointalk.org art in this thread along with a Bitcoin address. Any art you post must be created by you.
I feel like this should be considered true plagiarism. It's crazy it received so much merit, only if the guy drew these images himself should it deserve that much merit. Also, even if he gives "credits", it doesn't mean the artist that created it is ok with him taking it and defacing it, then entering it into a contest. He didn't create anything unique or original, merely defaced another groups artwork without their permission and then wrote his name on it as if he did it, then entered it into a contest meant for unique and original artwork. The fact that he posted it without any credit, and signed his name on it, says to me he meant to steal it as his own work. Had I of known I just had to come up with funny comments to plaster onto someone else's image, I don't know why I would have spent so much of my time creating a unique piece of work. This dude didn't even take the time to center his text in his the artists chat/thought bubbles and gets over 100 merit. lol At best, it's an insult to those that spent actual time with their work.

It's still funny and fits the contest. How does it fit the contest?? It includes Bitcointalk usernames in a fun way. But I don't think this low-effort deserves that much Merit. Post original bitcointalk.org art in this thread along with a Bitcoin address. Any art you post must be created by you. I feel like this should be considered true plagiarism. It's crazy it received so much merit, only if the guy drew these images himself should it deserve that much merit. Adding his own username to an image he took from someone else is indeed very bad. I'm not sure if the Credits-link is enough to stop it from being plagiarism. I must admit I didn't read the Credits-link when I merited the post (with 2 Merit). That's on me though.

Composition which got over 70 merit This one also received 50 Merit from theymos. I guess theymos isn't used to check/hunt for plagiarism. Isn't this a bannable offense, because unlike Laskoo, xolxol doesn't show any original source at all. Judging by the Merit amounts, theymos is really looking for "original artwork", but those 2 examples clearly aren't original.

Somehow I think it should be a bannable offense, and judging by the account of xolxol negative trust wouldn't be of use as he has already. I have a question if I hand-drawn a picture from one original image online should I be liable to credit the source of it as well even though I've already added some tweaks over the original image?

How about this one:
As long as this guy has some way to confirm he is "YesterdaysNews2" from reddit, it wouldn't be considered plagiarism. Whether or not it should be considered a valid entry.. I'd say probably not. Not specifically related to bitcointalk, and obviously didn't spend any time on it for this contest. However, something doesn't sit right with me and this account acting like they are "Leafandwoodshop.com". He's only once mentioned the website and started his first post saying he accepts BTC only. Why wouldn't they be linking to their own website and also accepting BTC? "Leafandwoodshop.com" obviously accepts other payment types. He also links all of his images through imgur.com. It seems to me that if "leadandwoodshop.com" were going to come here to sell their products, they'd be linking to their own website images and would just add a bitcoin payment option.... so it smells odd to me, not entirely impossible though. Someone may want to reach out to leafandwoodshop.com and see if they are trying to sell their items on this forum.

The artwork on both images seems to be the same physical one (the woodmark patters are the same), so it is at least from back in 2014. Whether they are the same person (@LeafAndWood and @YesterdaysNews2) is the core question. Could be. Then there is the fact that presenting an artwork that is around 5 years old is a "fair" candidate really. Edit: Here's a new shot with a floating back frame, ready to hang on your wall. Be the cool kid on your block! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FpQ8F2X9.jpg&t=665&c=Jv9ui1UGycT26g) There was a profile back in 2014, @BitArtist, selling the same artwork here, on Bitcointalk. Are @LeafAndWood and @YesterdaysNews2, and now @BitArtist all the same? Is a 2014 original in any case a valid candidate? Maybe asking for artworks to be created from the date of the beginning of the contest onwards would have being simpler.
