Crystal Wank 2: This time, it's far more dull!
I posted in clairvoyantwank about a fan“artist”, seriiyah, who was claiming to have done some charcoal drawings of LOTR characters. They’re obviously a couple of simple photoshop filters over screencaps.

Everyone boggled at the amount of people who believed her. Hardly anyone seemed to be calling her on it, so there wasn’t much wank bar the original “art” itself.

And now the one or two comments mentioning (fairly politely) photoshop have disappeared. And all new comments on her posts are now being screened. I think that's reason enough to move it over here.

Clearly this is a person with absolutely nothing to hide!

[ETA]: And apparently she changed part of her LJ profile right after I wrote her up on [info]clairvoyantwank: Before it said her parents didn't find out she was deaf until she was in school because she couldn't hear the teachers, and now it says "I loved music" as if she somehow... became deaf?

Hm. Keeping those facts straight is so HARD.

[ETA]: She's deleted both the posts I linked to at [info]clairvoyantwank, but someone capped one of the posts and its comments before it went kablooey.

[ETA]: The mod of the lordoftherings comm calls her out:

Dear [info]seriiyah,

That was the most pathetic attempt to pass off "artwork" that obviously isn't yours I've ever seen, and I've been in fandom for a long time. Since you're unable to delete THIS post, I can feel free to express my opinion. I'm going to try and delete your post, but since LJ keeps kindly changing their policy on community mods deleting posts, I may not be able to. Just so you know, we know you're full of crap. Have a nice day.


Love and stuff,
your friendly community mod, [info]arien

If they were original, perhaps they might look somewhat different than known photos everyone's seen a zillion times. Instead, they're pastede on boo.

It is at this point I disclaim that I know nothing about deafness or the deaf community, but I DO know that her profile changed between the first and second time I looked at it. I'm an awful cynical person, I know, but something about her just doesn't seem quite right.

It's official, there is no hope for the majority of the human race. If she'd capped PS with the pic actually being filtered, it couldn't be more obvious. :rants about charcoal: Am I the only one who leaves billions of smuges and fingerprints on charcoal pictures? Not to mention, my fixative usually makes the charcoal look really, super black, and a few of those are far too faint to be fixed, and that scanning would totally fuck those up if she hadn't fixed them?

:continues ranting: They're getting worse. :twitchy eye:

I have several deaf friends, none of who would blatantly state it anywhere like that, lest they be judged or felt sorry for. That's like saying, 'I'm black, and it's tough, but I get by one day at a time. I miss being white.'

It's the cornucopia of laziness that annoys me most here: known stock/publicity photos, obviously amateur Photoshopping, inability to keep story straight, etc. I mean, if you're going to lie, at least make it convincing, dammit! For inspiration, see: Crystal, Msscribe.

Too right. I'm sure I know all those 'charcoals' from somewhere else.

Those pictures...

Even if I do give her the benefit of the doubt, I'm still confused as to WHY they're so badly smudged. You can't smudge like that with charcoal, not unless if you use a slightly damp finger. But if it were damp, the smudging wouldn't be so... even.
And in the second picture, the left nostril is waaay too sharp compared to the right, same with the last, where the hair? on the left side is very very sharp compared to the rest of the picture.

._.;; The only art classes I ever took was those back in elementary, but... I don't know, it seems so fake to me.

Those aren't charcoal. That's all I have to say. Maybe could have been passed off as graphite, but not charcoal. Too uniform to be that messy of a medium.

On the unrelated note of her deafness, I can't describe how much that infuriates and saddens me - my mother was born 80% deaf. To think that someone might be using that as a means of attention and or sympathy makes me want to murder kittens with toothpicks.
