$"Momokun Cosplay" IS AN ART THIEF She constantly steals other peoples designs and claims them as her own. Her excuse is changing one minor detail and calling it her "OC" (Original Character). She then takes those designs and MAKES A PROFIT off of them on her patreon account, with absolute no recognition to the orignal designerfartist creator.

She lso gets bigger horns in my ether designs for her She even stole a design from an actual published anime hentai, wtt RE Cosplay is one thing. Dressing up as a pre-existing character is fine. But saying YOU created that character from scratch, as an original? Saying you "designed" it but just changing a tiny detail on the character nobody notices? Especially stealing from some indie artists? THAT IS NOT OKAY, THAT IS THEFT. What happened to artists supporting artists? Lbrary Lingerle 2015 Leds Not Nudes Even her slogan is a rip-off. She's not above copying entire shoot location and poses Another instance of her asking Castle Corsetry to rip-off a design for her. But it's not the same you see, hers doesn't have the squiggles on the side$
