There's this person, I won't name him, let's call him T. T's infamous online for stealing photos of red haired women to use for his avatars, "photos", and his whole online persona. For instance, he will claim to look like the women, saying that he has red hair and pale skin.

People have called T out on this because a real photo of him accidentally got leaked which shows he looks nothing like how he describes himself, and his rebuttal was "I never said those photos are of me"

T will also steal voice recordings from women who have exposed him in the past, using those samples to answer questions on Reddit, and when called out for this he will respond with "I never said the voice was mine". Some people noticed how his accent is constantly changing or his voice sounds AI generated at times, and he blames it on "foreign accent syndrome" when really what he's doing is stealing people's voice recordings. When people tell him he doesn't have foreign accent syndrome and is making excuses, he makes posts claiming people are "denying foreign accent syndrome exists" while leaving out the context that he used other people's voice recordings, to make himself look like he's being persecuted or is a "targeted individual".

He also is known for repeatedly making creepy comments to a forum member who he knew was barely 14, (he's in his 20's) requesting a story being written of him going on a date with him, saying "you're mine" to him, and "shipping" himself with him. When people call him out on this he says "it's slander" even though there's links to the things he posted. Then he'll say things like, "you cannot speak for a person's intentions because you aren't the proxy of their mind"

Also, when people point out that T's real selfie and the stolen selfies aren't the same race, he'll claim people are being transphobic to "transracial" people, and he'll also claim that people are being transphobic to him, even though he has never once claimed to be trans and is known for sending death threats to trans people in private message sessions.

This person does this kind of tactic a lot, and people get the impression he thinks he's being slick, and I'm wondering if there's a name for it.

Hello. So, my friend just sent me a message about something they've seen. There was someone who was stealing people's DeviantArt usernames to sign up on other sites, and 5 months ago, they posted these drawings on an account that was named after someone on DeviantArt who had a very similar style:

This person made a post on their main account 26 days ago where they showed some new art. This is what that art looked like:

Another recent piece of art they posted from less than 5 months ago:

More new art from them:

When my friend confronted them for this, they responded with "I changed mediums" to explain why the more recent art looks so different from 5 months ago and asked my friend to "find the original if you think it's stolen", but before they said that, they had lied about not deliberately taking people's usernames. The real person's account didn't have those exact three topmost drawings, but did have a very similar style and level of professionalism to the art.

I am not an artist, so it'd be preferable if any artists could chime in on this and whether a change of mediums would explain the differences or if this is bonafide art theft.

TL;DR the person who uploaded the first 3 drawings is saying them changing mediums is why their new art doesn't look as good. Is this plausible?
