Thanks for the "hed iz pastede on yay" link! I'd seen the wank before, but this links to all kinds of good stuff. So checked her journal, which linked to her deviantArt gallery. It was all photography, but she had a picture of Sean Astin, which I looked at, which linked to a drawing (http://www.deviantart.com/view/9256611/) she did. Ok, that is probably definitely real. But then I looked at the rest of her gallery. We're supposed to believe that after that Sam drawing, she drew this (http://www.deviantart.com/view/15052502/) picture of Charlie? Very nicely Photoshopped, but definitely not a real drawing (check out how all angles in the hatching are exactly the same). And not only that, she has digital "paintings" up, too, like this one (http://www.deviantart.com/view/14238235/) of Billy Boyd. I must say, she has improved hiding her forgeries considerably since this sorry attempt (http://www.deviantart.com/view/13143821/) at doing "a portrait in oils or watercolors" of Galadriel.
Urk, sorry for venting in your journal, I just sort of feel personally affronted as an artist myself that I work so hard on real drawings and they get passed over at devART and she 'shops some photos and pretends to have drawn them and people are all like, "OMG U R SO TALENTED +FAV!!1!" I'm considering reporting her to the mods, but then again devART mods aren't the greatest....

OK I'll shut up now. :)
