Mars on YJ & on Ebay? is that a repro?

[RoboFlonne]

The guy just stinks at drawing.

The lines are all wavy....

That just means he stinks and shouldn't be drawing at all.

I just can't believe that he thinks we would believe him! I hope nobody gets deceived into purchasing these!!! SM dougas are NEVER colored so horribly either! Look at the unblended lines in the color shadows!!! Especially on the mars sketch *SIGH*

Obviously they know that they could never sell any of their own original art so they have to make copies of popular anime sketches and try to sucker us honest cel collectors into wasting precious mulah! Shame on them!!!!

Did anyone notice that EVERY single buyer that has ever purchased from him has a private ID!!! I thought this was just limited to the current bids....but after checking his feedback...I am running off to send him a polite email!

If you check his auctions now, he's amended the photos with a disclaimer.
He claims the jagged lines are due to his "poor camera skills." Ha! What a
laugh. If you look at the phoney sequence numbers, they are fairly clear
and easy to read. So why is only the line work on the sketch choppy? It
looks almost like a poor computer print out or something. Eeesh. And does
that explain the completely inaccurate shade/highlight colors he used?
Comparing the two Chibimoons (real and fake) truly illustrates the situation.

He never replied to my email, big surprise.

I would love it if he replied to mine...if he does, I am going to post it on this thread with everyone's permission of course ^.^ I am enraged that this person is claiming that these are real at the same time the real ones are on auction. Most of the "buyers" who purchased from this seller had similar email addresses to their current one as well as most of them are currently no longer users...gosh I have seen this with a couple of fake sellers before...why do these people think we'll buy it???!!! This is insulting! I must say as soon as I saw the Sailor Neptune sketch on eBay (the first I looked at) it was so horrible that I knew something must be fishy...and after seeing the Mars sketch that I noticed was already on YJ!!!! Let as all pray together for this poor seller's stupidity!!!

I blew up the pictures...



Top one is from Ebay

and the bottom from YJ





I'm sorry but Camera skills does not cause your lines to be shaky.

[sailorsv13]

...nor does a camera make your sketch lines thicker (like they were done in a thick sharpie marker)! Gosh that's awful!

So at least 3 of us have reported this guy to eBay, why haven't they done
anything about this problem yet? I hope actions are taken soon because
I'd hate for someone to be ripped off by this scam artist (the only kind of
"artist" this guy could ever be, hehe).

[sailorsv13]

Hehe...I would certainly agree with you there. Do you think that the bidders are legit or might they be him trying to make people think someone is actually bidding on this crud? It seems to me that the later must be the answer...why else would he make all of the bidders private? And there is exactly 1 bidder for each sketch so far...? I dunno...maybe I am just too set against this scam "artist" ^.^

im gonna add my name to the list of people who think those ebay sketches are fakes. and ugly bad ones at that.

[wELCOME cONSUMER]

His auctions STILL haven't been cancelled!

I poked my nose around again and checked out the Eternal Sailormoon 'douga' he has. It's an almost exact(part of the hair at the nape of the neck is off) replica of my cel(and douga) except that the douga number is completely off.

E-bay repro- http://cgi.ebay.com/SAILOR-MOON-SETTEI- ... dZViewItem

My cel - http://cutiebunny.rubberslug.com/galler ... mID=119555

My cel's sketch - http://www.rubberslug.com/user/68f1626d ... angels.jpg

I own a B14END and both the douga and cel I have clearly state this. The douga that this seller is selling is labeled "A2". Once again, I really doubt that an A2 would match a B14END. I know there are at least two other RS members that also have cels from this sequence, and each one appears to be noticeably different than the others.

[sailorsv13]

Interesting observation cutiebunny. You should send that info to the seller who is not responding to any of my questions about his auctions....suspicious behavior for someone who wants to sell valuable production art!
