Found out my "original" showcase piece was already ripped off on 3 sites
Was reverse-image searching my latest digital painting to see who shared it and found the exact same artwork posted on 3 different art blogs with someone else's signature, has anyone else had their showcase work stolen like this and how do you even tackle it?

The "someone else's signature" part burns me up, that's straight up fraud not just reposting. Get screenshots of everything with timestamps and the URLs, then file DMCA takedowns with each site's host (Cloudflare has a form if the blog won't respond). Also email the blogs directly first, some will pull it fast to avoid hassle, but if they ignore you go straight to their hosting company. Keep a folder of your WIP files and layered source, that's your proof if anyone ever challenges you.
