Kid using our work for "his portfolio"

leviatan1001 · Nov 2013

Actually, its pretty funny

Enjoy!

MrOneTwo · Nov 2013

Yeah in a way funny... it always a bit is when someone is trying to be the cool one in such lame manner... But fuck him!

I would laugh... when I kick him in the balls.

Nowadays it can cause problems. He is also stealing from you. Sucks. You did a great job on your enviro. You don't deserve some one messing with your stuff. It's not like he's gonna make money from this. He is making it worse for you though.

Bibendum · Nov 2013

Just makes me sad

I don't really get angry about things like this because these people have no future as professional artists

leviatan1001 · Nov 2013

Well, in this case, there isn't any profit opportunity, so it's fine.

But I would like to kick his tiny balls too, haha.

Thanks!

MrOneTwo · Nov 2013

I get angry beacuse it's hard to create something on this level. I know he is a kid and probably just wants to show off but come on. That's low. I know he won't achieve anything by doing that. I just dislike the idea that some one else may loose anything because of him (even two seconds of his life to explain to some one else 'nah dude he stole it from me').

leviatan1001 · Nov 2013

Yeah. Now I'm feeling a bit more angry. Because the more I research, the more I find:

So weird, they actually credited the artists but claim it's "their global team" and say all rights are reserved for Game Riders.

NegevPro · Nov 2013

What kind of asshole does something like this? lol

praetus · Nov 2013

I get kind of upset over this when people do it because if they're willing to steal portfolio work to get a job it makes me think they'll have no issue stealing art from other sources for whatever they're working on. That can leave the studio open for lawsuits.

For portfolio stuff though the only way I know of to keep people from doing this to you is to heavily watermark your pictures and I just can't bring myself to do it. I like people to see my art, not a giant text overlay of my name or website.

whoa, whaaaaaaaaat? I think one of these guys needs to hit up Youtube with a DMCA complaint.

*Must fight urge to begin attacking their facebook page, must...*

This is ridiculous, honestly, I think this may be the wost example of work theft I've seen for a loooong time.

St.Sabath · Nov 2013

Haha,he set his vids to private now,after i commented on Leviathans vid on youtube!

Torch · Nov 2013

I like the quote at the bottom of his page, just made one slight correction:

"It is a happy talent to know how to plagiarize."

Gotta laugh at this stuff, no point getting too Ahmad about it.

leviatan1001 · Nov 2013

Yes, he deleted it. But it's saved for my lawyer

xvampire · Nov 2013

I like Call of glory !

it sounds more selling

bohemia games should change their title!

thatanimator · Nov 2013

I wish somebody would steal my work

iniside · Nov 2013

I would laugh. Hell. I would even let him try to get job based on it. Once it's proven he was not able to make it, he would be lost forever.

Seems legit

AA3D · Nov 2013

this specially makes me sad

dat facebook page is hilarious tho

skyline5gtr · Nov 2013

damn lol

CreativeHD · Nov 2013

This is pretty funny but sad that someone would actually do this.

leviatan1001 · Nov 2013

Its even better seeing how after people commented "his" videos, he delete the comments, but his page is still showing everything.
The only change I noticed was setting my Waterfall video to private. But he's still showing my images http://gameridersoffical.wix.com/ahmadshadid#!nature-life/c1gws

big_beluga · Nov 2013

This guy just asked to work on a mod I'm on using this portfolio. He was claiming he did all the terrain and level design, and that he sold Call of Glory to an American company. No shame.

NegevPro · Nov 2013

Sounds like he needs a good scare to understand the consequences of stealing other people's work.

McGreed · Nov 2013

Well, send a copyright complain to Wix.com here: http://www.wix.com/upgrade/abuse/#!copyright-infringiment/cnaa

Btw, anyone noticed how his facebook page is lacking of comments? I wonder why...

repete · Nov 2013

Get the site taken off line :thumbup:

The kid is a cock

DanBe · Nov 2013

Somebody should just go ahead and "hire" him... Give him an Art Test and let him fail his sorry ass...

he should not get away with this, it will just promote more theft and plagiarism!

RobeOmega · Nov 2013

I might do that for fun and see what he comes up with!

I notice EVERY single one of this videos are now private

RobeOmega · Nov 2013

I DID IT!

Now time to wait!

rocknroll237 · Nov 2013

haha, nice Robeomega.

leviatan1001, I'm glad I brought this to your attention. And to think, we were going to get him to do an art test for our project! Good job one of our modellers found out the truth.

almighty_gir · Nov 2013

is it wrong that i feel sad that i'm not good enough to steal from yet?

you can do that in face book, only you are the one who able to comment

Justin Meisse · Nov 2013

Robeomega: aww man, that art test is too vague, he could easily steal an asset from somewhere and submit it. It would be funnier to provide a concept and see what his actual skill level is at.

I say it's time we hit him up with an old fashioned polycount penis tank. $:\$

RobeOmega · Nov 2013

I thought about that but I thought I could say hey didn't this guy do this? and scare him like that.

I could email him again but can you please provide me with a concept art nobody has done before and then I can send that to him since quite a lot of these concept art has already been done.

I could see the thing he ripped of some other guy be impressed THEN give him a concept art to do and claim that is what I want him to do

But I can only do that if you guys send me a concept art which has not been done yet so he cannot copy anything.

JonathanLambert · Nov 2013

Ha, what a little turd.

GarfSnacks · Nov 2013

Wow, and to think they ACTUALLY created an "Official" Launch Party for all of that. I wonder how it went for them haha.

Stromberg90 · Nov 2013

almighty_gir: I feel with you, not got anything stolen from me either

Looking forward to seeing that art test.

ivanzu · Nov 2013

I just cant understand how someone can do stuff like that,If I did that i would hide in the cave and turn into goblin.Cant wait for response on the art test,its just behind vertex 2 on my cant wait list.

passerby · Nov 2013

what doesn't it being a wix site make it legit. Choose bad things too, i recolonize %90 of the art there and can pin names to most of it.

@Stromberg90 dont feel bad if i was a piece of shit i would steal your mineshaft and bl like shotty.

Stromberg90 · Nov 2013

passerby: ah, the nicest thing anyone has said to me :poly136:

i just really want to know what is in the kids head as far as incentive or motive to do this is. News travels fast in the industry im sure he now knows that, so have fun being black listed.

And say he was offered a job what they hell would he do?

Ya. Its even sad seeing how a young boy has blacklisted himself

Bibendum · Nov 2013

That launch party is for another bullshit studio called "Nashmi Games" which is even more amazing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV5wBt7qJy8"]nashmi games - our work - YouTube[/ame]

The launch party has no address other than Amman, Jordan which makes me doubt it's real. I think this guy might be a catfish...

And say he was offered a job what they hell would he do?

If he's actually scamming people and not a catfish he'll probably just demand payment upfront and never deliver. Do a google search for Joshua Astorian.

Sad and infuriating at the same time, if he would only put the amount of effort he does in creating his fake little image and world online, into learning some useful skills he might actually accomplish something.

But now just has a web of his own lies, and his name known for all the wrong reasons now.

Brygelsmack · Nov 2013

Wow... Most of those jungle shots are from CE2 and by an artist called sebastian___ or something along those lines. It's an old thread from the Crymod days:

http://www.crydev.net/viewtopic.php?f=280&t=20709

What an ass. Definitely makes me angry. I guess fine if something is just posting pics of art they like, but literally claiming to have created it makes me sick.
