Clarifying Riniuu drama(edited)

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 9, 2014, 6:13 AM


So yeah let's get things clear here OK. 

I know, that by making this journal people will probably say that I'm only feeding the drama and such but yet there's people who keep asking the same damn things over and over while all questions have been answered already. Oh and few people ever requested to make this journal to clarify some things up. 

So yeah let's get to the point. 

So yeah Rini and I used to be friends but we are no more. I got to know her for a first time during her first tracing and stealing drama. I politely comforted her about it and told her what she should do to calm things down. First I told her to remove the stolen artwork and her stolen designs as well and make sincere apology explaining the situation to the people without victimizing herself. I knew that people would forgive her is she would show that she was actually guilty as well as that making sob journals would only make things way worse.  While she said she would do that, she still would not follow my advice and instead made a journal about how she would leave to get asspats from her watchers.

Still I used to stand up for her when ever she was copying or tracing, even though there was proof of it. I sent Rini multiple notes and she said she didn't trace and that she would stop. I believed in her for so long and that she would actually change her old behavior. Here's screenshot and translation of one of the notes I sent to her:  sta.sh/010axu4uglz1 and the journal she made after that: sta.sh/01d41y0ws7gl
In notes I clearly told her, that no one was accusing her and that everyone was being very reasonable but the journal she made speaks very different language. 

Still all her character designs and recycling made me doubt that maybe she didn't change after all. When ever I would comfort her through notes, she would always make a journal about how people were bullying her, even though I've always made it crystal clear that no one has and no one did. People were curious like I. They had proof right in front of their eyes so how could we not be. I'm not saying tracing your own work it bad. Well goddamn it she can do what she wants though I personally think it's very lazy thing to do.

The reason why people also brought up the recycling is, because there's a possibility that the art she recycled were originally traced. Because I personally fail to see that why would anyone bother to trace parts from their old art like hands for example. It shouldn't take long to draw one hand so why to trace is, especially when she said herself that she knows how to draw. I back up my theory with this: sta.sh/013nib5xudb8 and sta.sh/01u5v6xax4i2
In first picture she clearly traced a pose from pixiv artist but in second picture she traced her own art that was originally traced from someone else.

 Still the main problem was also her character designs, that were almost identical to some official characters from different mangas and animes. People tried to call her out several times but it was all ignored. 

Still I reached to my limit when I found out that Rini actually sold traced work that wasn't her own. That was unforgivable. 
I decided along with other people to call her out and make people aware. You can love her or hate her but we though, that it was only right thing to do to let people know. She got away so many times. She was forgiven so many times and she always succeed to hide the truth from her watchers. 

Rini got mad at me for calling off our friendship and said that I was only trying to gain the fame she has by ruining her reputation, because I'm jealous. But no I'm not jealous for someone who traces and I didn't ruin anything for her. She did it for herself. 

She made a journal "apologizing" about her past tracing and claimed how I made a journal digging up her past mistakes. The thing you fail to realize is that she never mentioned anything about her selling traced art that was the actual reason that made people so fed up. She also called only me out of it even though there were many other people calling her out as well. riniuu.deviantart.com/journal/…

She wanted to put all blame on me and that's what I got. Bunch of her fans telling how I "bullied" her off of the internet.
No I didn't. I only made a journal where I gathered proof about her actions to make people aware. That's all and that's all there will be. She knew that I wasn't the only one who made a journal about her yet she didn't edit her journal but left people believe that I was the only one source of this: comments.deviantart.com/1/4593…
This was the first comment too in her journal. 

People keep telling me how everyone makes mistakes. Sure but aren't you meant to learn from them? Because she didn't. Besides she knew it was wrong and she still did it. It doesn't happen by accident. It's a choice to make. She should have refunded the money long time ago but she didn't and there's still no proof, nor clue that she even did after this. 

Some also said, that everyone takes inspirations from somewhere and that's true, because they do. But let's look at it like this. Rini has attacked many people who has even somehow similar character to her own. Even those who only have like one little detail similar to something in her art, yet she herself is basically allowed to rip off official characters. Doesn't sound quite fair does it? Proof: sta.sh/01ba4epc9b4d


So now you know.

People never said that she has no talent. The only thing is that she wasted her talent. + her speedpaints rarely show the whole progress. Usually just coloring but not sketching part. Also there's many proofs and overlays that prove that she traced and even sold traced art. Calling me stupid for stating the facts is rather immature in your part actually.

I see I'm sorry it's just I'm fairly mad at everyone about rini and I am very still one of her fans and I will always be and there is true fact that some of her works are traced but not all and that one pokemon one speedpaint she sketched everything out so there is your proof right there that she doesn't trace all her stuff and I'm very sorry for being immature about this situation

(I'm rather slow on these topics so,) I was very curious for a long time why  Riniuu went away and deactivated her DA account. I was truly very sad that she left, her art was amazing and I loved the style of clothes she used on her OC's. After I read this I felt my heart drop a little. It is good that you pointed her out on her mistakes and it is never good to trace or steal other's work. It's not wrong to get some inspiration from others, but she should have credited them if she did.
I feel sad that she has gone and hope she will come back and own up to her mistakes, not being childish like she did to you. Honestly I would have forgiven her for her mistakes, I would still probably, I am just very disappointed.
Thank you for explaining everything and I hope you guys can somehow still make up. She's undoubtedly a great artist, but if she doesn't own up to her mistakes it would be shame....

Thank you. She was my inspiration but now I'm really, really disappointed. It's unforgivable what she've done. One thing I want to know why she done this. I mean her art was beautiful without tracing too(coloring) Ok everyone trace in some way I think (learning anatomy with looking at photos or draw them) but this makes me feel sad.

It's not 'unforgivable', just a bad choice and a mistake. I of course dont agree what she did was good, but it doesn't mean she can't be forgiven .
