WTF weird person?

"Hi, I just want to write you an email to tell you I know you steal art. It shows because your art style changes all the time. You should be ashamed of yourself and i'm going to report you on deviant art because you have a deviant art account too and you should be ashamed because people like you steal artists work and that's wrong and it's bad. You Alice drawings is obviously stolen

Response :

"I'm glad to see someone so concerned about artist rights! It is indeed wrong to steal art. However, I do not steal art. My art is my own. I'm sorry if the fact that my style is very varied confuses you. Many artist have very different styles you know.

Besides, if I was a thief, i'd be a pretty talented one to always find the perfect drawing that fits exactly what i'm saying in my post. And i'm pretty good too for finding art online that always has sketch lines and the same type of handwriting!

My point being that even though the styles change, clear details indicate that the art is truly mine. Like say, the fact that you can't find it elsewhere and the fact that my signature is on it.

But if you really insist to say i'm the thief, please show me the art you say I copied. I'd be glad to see it!"

Response from weird person :

"It's a really known art on the internet if you can't find it then I don't have to show it to you.

I,m not gonna report you to deviant art because you obviously understand that you made stupid mistakes. Please don't be stupid anymore."

My response :

"But then what will I write in my journal?

If you don't enjoy it and insist on being insulting, please don't read it."

Her final response :

"If you don't want people to read your shit don't put it online. You're a shitty artist that steals things and you know it."

My final response :

"Don't like it? Call Batman. Ask him if he cares."

I've always worried about getting emails like that. I can't even see consistency in my OWN art! :P
You, however, totally have a clear style. Your line treatment alone is like a neon sign saying you did it.

But the "if you can't find it then I don't have to show it to you" is a good sign that this person is either a troll, or very confused about how "proof" works. I'm guessing the later.

Naaawww. I think your style shines thru the character's bodies. You kinda have this way of drawing the way they stand and move that is very you!

Thank you for appreciating my art!
