I've been bombarded with DMs and questions about whether or not Twist is the one also tracing/copying me and folks even stating they can "see the similarities now" and yes, they are the that individual. I just did not want to be public about it considering their current life- https://twitter.com/hyenafest/status/1265665054340534274
Circumstances. I did not want them to be subjected to stress on top of a newborn child, but folks are starting to put the pieces together anyways.

Twist has not only heavily referenced/traced myself, but countless others and many of us have been speaking to eachother and-
sharing evidence. Twist will often "frankenstein" images so they do not appear traced or copied. Trace something here or there, switch it up, shrink it etc... #NSFW
So in the end it looks totally original and makes it harder to prove a duplicate. Which is another reason why I did not come forward sooner, because unless something
is very obviously traced it's hard to prove to the public-

Much of what Twist has done to me also falls under "style theft" which is controversial, but in order to have done that they in fact heavily referenced and traced a lot of my work. Example below of their headshots before, mine, and their's after they began copying me
And I'm going to state again that I am one of SEVERAL artists they've copied/traced over the years. Many of us have confronted Twist and met with denial besides the single time I confronted Twist over a year ago and they admitted to doing it, but did not stop afterwards-
I unfortunately do not have the DMs since he deleted them from Telegram but I do have some of the images I sent him.
I really hope myself coming forward will encourage the other artists to come forward as well, I have seen a lot worse than the evidence I'm posting here, a lot more blatant tracing, but I do not have the right to post that evidence without their permission.
That's all I want to say at the moment, I know there is more evidence on my own behalf I could post and if I dig it back up I'll add it to this thread.
I also ask they you do not harass Twist, they do not need it. Spreading awareness is enough.
