A Patreon creator operating under the name "TalesofStar" is selling cosmetic outfit mods entirely made out of models and textures extracted from Bg3 (among the many other games they have been stealing from). These files are offered through paid monthly tiers and individual purchases both on Patreon and on their personal website where this creator also posts previews of those files, clearly stating in the description that the assets were ripped from the game. Due to a recent DMCA all those images are now purposefully blurred, but I have saved screenshots to document all of it:

This person has been charging quite a lot of money for access to those files entirely made of stolen assets for quite some time, both as a single purchase and by monthly memberships, distributing them through their external 'member hub' to circumvent Patreon regulations, and blocking all Patreon users who question them or are deemed "problematic". With their setup TalesofStar likely earns more money than the people who work as Character Artists and created the assets, literally stealing their work.

I already got in touch with Patreon about it and have been told that they don't accept reports of copyright infringement unless they are sent directly by the owner, so I am hoping others will be joining me and report this thief to Larian and/or Wizards of the Coast until Patreon is forced to acknowledge that everything Talesofstar is selling is stolen.
