Last night, I was contacted and shown a character thief in the fandom community. At first, I was reluctant, because the person (who shall remain anonymous) wasn’t being clear, and after the scandal with those two brats using me for an attack dog awhile back, you can understand my hesitance about such things these days.
But the situation is a Hungarian account is using someone else’s fan character from the Lion Guard wikia.
These are traced fanarts, esp from TC-96 who doesn’t allow it. The last one is actually a recolor of a recolor made by Naoki-TLK. You can see Bora through the recolor.
Given recent events in the fandom dealing with a parasite content farm account on youtube stealing designs, I felt like this would be relevant to share.
Art thief clearly doesn’t care that he’s stealing artwork for his oh-so originul pic, he won’t listen to those who tell him otherwise. So far, only Dyb has been found as one of the artists. No idea who drew Zira or Simba and Nala in the back.
“Approved by Disney!!!!!!!!”
I’m pretty sure Disney, in fact, did not approve of this art theft slide show. It’s also monetized so he’s also making money off fan art, Jesus wept.
This fandom has a lot of people who don’t understand how inspiration and referencing works.
Inspiration is the act of being motivated. It’s not an excuse to copy or steal what another person did.
Just a reminder, if you already have Gingadensetsufan12 blocked because of their blind worshipping of Scar(among other reasons), they’re using their alt account, LionKingforever1 in order to continue the trend on fan comics. If you see this account commenting on your comics, block them and report for block evasion.
“I deleted this on impulse because I got called out! Donut steal my copied urt!”
They knew exactly what they were doing. They clarified that they took inspirashunz from TLK fanart on pinterest and listened to some chucklefuck on another video. They also deleted every comment that wasn’t TC’s calling them out on their theft.
