Junoon Nayak Plagiarist on Behance
Hi guys, there's been a portfolio from a guy on Behance that's been circulating around and gaining popularity. But apparently he stole one of the works of Yosuke Ishikawa and Raf Grassetti and claims that it was his.
If you have some artworks there on his portfolio, don't hesitate to report him. And blacklist his hiney because I think he's freelancing (if that isn't a lie)
Here the Behance link of his portfolio: http://www.behance.net/Junoon

Still its a great help. Its struck home because I'm using Behance on my portfolio works and I don't want to see the site be known to have users who stole artworks.
(You can pretty much just google image search all of his works and find the originals.)

Yep, me! I also part time work at Epic games and Blizzard.
EDIT: Am going to report this guy as well, sucks that people stoop to that level

Real artists won't have to "prove themselves more."
You guys act like this is the end of the world. He won't be able to complete any work and companies will just dump him quickly.
Studios are not stupid, otherwise they would not be a studio.
A few recruiters may not have a trained eye for plagiarism, but when an actual artist (aka director) on the team sees his stuff they won't waste their time.
You never hear a story of:
"OMG THIS GUY STOLE ART TO GET ATTENTION BUT HE IS ACTUALLY A GREAT ARTIST AND HAS GREAT BUSINESS SKILLS AND IS NOW A MILLIONAIRE! OMG OMG!"
No, he can't do shit and won't get anywhere.
Indie projects are even more tight-nit than larger studios. If a small team of 5-10 can't tell if a concept artist is legit, then they are probably falling short in other areas as well.
A legitimate team will be well versed in all disciplines to know whether if someone is bullshit or not.
Again, not a big deal. You guys are acting like this fool is going to rip teams apart. Please show evidence of this occurring in the past.
As it's been said, its definitely not the end of the world, but it's fun to get the artistic hive mind to display some pyrokinetic powers
Might have to invest in facial makeup and studio quality full spectrum lighting for those video interview-testing sessions. Portable green screen in background to hide your mess and project something more interesting than your room or basement.
