Okay folks, I know you know
And something has happened, as it involves a so-called art school in Malaysia called Adcom --- who not only rips Artgerm's Wonderwoman [link] , it credits it to someone else.
The most sickening act of all?
Using the artwork to promote their art school.
The full account of what's happening can be found here (Yes, Artgerm, if you're reading this, someone out there made a tumblr to explain the crimes of Adcom) :

Turns out, not only they ripped Artgerm's, they also stole from
Student work, March 2012, vs Wang Wei's Hellboy illustration [link]
Student work, Feb 2012, vs Olev Shekhovtsov's God of Pretence [link]
Student work, Dec 2011, vs Dave Allsop's Cemetery Reaper [link]
Student work, Jan 2012, vs Tiago Hoisel's Chico Bento [link]
On their original FB page [link] , they've taken down/deleted/blocked the offending ad containing Artgerm's work,
(pics 5 and 6, the one with Artgerm's Wonder Woman)

Seems they've taken down all the photos containing Artgerm's work.
BUT the rest that was listed above STILL remains there.
Not only that, in the same gallery earlier, upon further investigation, the bone-skeleton painting that is Clinkz the Bone Fletcher originally belongs to Valve's DOTA2 Bone Fletcher [link]
Talk about being thick-skinned.
This very act itself shows that as per what they advertised, Adcom is *really* training people up to copy other people's works and claiming it as their own.
What sort of creative educational institutions advocates plagiarism!?! It's downright WRONG on all levels!!!
So what can you do?
Please reblog, link, tweet or share this within and beyond your circle.

This is especially important for those working or residing in Malaysia and Singapore, as a creative professional of any capacity. We as fellow professionals working in the same field do NOT condone PLAGIARISM, at any levels whatsoever.
Thanks for your attention, and leave no mercy for art thieves, be it individuals or big corps.
