Cris Ortega - Plagiarism

[fakeortega]

Hello all.

First, sorry for posting this here, but I don`t know well, where can I post this post, so sorry me admis and moderators.

This thread is about one of the most critically acclaimed spanish CG artist over the world. A very prestigious well-known illustrator that showcases the best works... stealing others as Jason Chan, Melanie Delon, Feimo, Linda Bergksvist... and a long list more.

She built her career copying & pasting, overpainting, tracing and inspiring in other artist works, and she earn money with it. She published three artbooks (Forgotten 1,2,3) and recently released "Nocturna", wich cover gave her away as the plagiarist she is. She used a work by Ruoxing Zhang, overpainting and retouching it to show as hers (after she was revealed, she retouched a bit again to make the final cover lightly different from original one) since.

The Nocturna release was the moment we discovered how works Cris Ortega.
Let us show you some evidences:

JASON CHAN
Original


Cris Ortega


PIECES FOR HER WORK (not just stealing Jason's ones):




Melanie Delon









Linda Berkgsvist




And the nocturna cover that betrayed herself, original by Ruoxing Zhang

Note: We aren't haters. We just compiled a lot of evidences around internet, and people sent us the 80% that you can see in the blog. We just claim ethic, professionalism and respect for art creators as we respected Cris and her works before she give her away. We don't want art rippers. :ilaekae:

Thank you for your attention,

Also punt Rich a link via PM, he likes this kind of thing and clear cut cases buy him a bit more room to post more tongue-in-cheek ones.

Maybe she can get a gig at Marvel.

Maybe they should all stop using the same reference....Cuz I doubt even the original artist has paid for licensing of the images they ripped. Deny it if you want but I want to see evidence.

[Rootfireember]

okay so what's the original a rip from?
also pointing out: poses are not (c).
And multiple artists *CAN* use the same reference.

It looks quite clear from those images that she has plagiarised. I can't imagine that it can be coincidental. There is just too much similarities, in fact it isnt even similarities they are mirrored images.
