You've got a lot of backtracking to look forward to.

Either LinePaperBitches! is back from the grave, or you are stealing art.

And since I seen you adding your artist tag to his work on other sites, I know it's the latter.

I am pretty sure this is line paper bitches work. I have seen this awhile ago but I may be very wrong.

This is kind of odd, I found posts by this guy from over 7 years ago, identical to this one, so either he's back from the dead plagerising 7 years later or is an alt name or something else.
Weird

Do you have a source for what this is a trace of? I can't handle the flag without a source.

https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1448087 Will this do?

EDIT: Or, possibly, madarao414 might be the artist's other name, judging by the account on Rule34's age (Joined in 2013)?

I believe Madarao414 just did the coloring on it.

Yeah, this is from 2013 with minimal or no sources for anything, so impossible to handle currently in any manner.
Also if it turns out to be done by someone else, we can simply change tags and if further evidence is given that the actual work is traced then it can be flagged again.

The "LinePaperBitches" account on Rule34 ceased activity in 2012, and users there reported that the account was stopped or banned or something similar. This post contains a comment by user "LPB" saying they were back with a new account, and this account continued to upload Flipnote drawings of the same quality. The last post by LPB had a lot of anons in the comment throwing toxic hate at the artist, leading them to say they were done and leaving. This is all still in 2012.

In 2013, the "Madarao414" account was created on R34, and again began uploading images of the same Flipnote quality drawings. The LPB account actually left a comment on this post by Madarao. All other R34 posts from Madarao that have made their way to e621 are under the StrawberryDog tag, and I'm not sure where that name comes from.

So what does this mean? This animation of the Flareon was never posted (as far as I can tell) under the LinePaperBitches or LPB account anywhere. It doesn't appear on either Rule 34 or AGNPH. There is nothing around that this would have been traced from, that I can find, except the original post on R34 by Madarao themselves. The user who uploaded this is neither person (So Mysterymanj shouldn't really be accusing "YOU" of stealing art), and likely just saw this art on R34, saw it wasn't here, and posted it here because they liked it.

This leads me to believe that either Madarao is LBP but under a new identity after the latter ragequit the account amongst all the hate, or Madarao is a completely different artist who has a very similar style or is trying to emulate the style. I do not believe there is any art theft here at all. If you've got other evidence to prove me wrong, be sure to let me know.

I know this is an 8 month old post, but I figured I may as well contribute what I know.

Back in the day, I knew Madarao and talked to him often. He never gave any hint that he was LinePaperBitches, and I highly doubt that he was. Given how close I was with him at the time, I feel like he would have dropped a hint either by accident or to get it off his chest. I'm pretty sure he was simply inspired by LPB.

As to whether or not Strawberrydog is him, this all happened many, many years ago. I forgot Madarao's age, but I know for a fact he said he was an adult (which should hopefully go without saying). Strawberrydog only claims to be 19, according to their profile. However, this might also just be SD not updating their age. SD DID share the rest of these on here back in the early 2010s, after all. It's not entirely impossible that SD and Madarao are the same person, with that in mind. Why this was posted only 8 months ago after such a long gap, I have no idea.

If they are the same person, however....Madarao, if you are reading this, I hope you're doing well. And please update your age listed in your bio.
