Fuck yea terrible Lion King fandom
So you can't even trust her when she said she DID stop; Not try to stop. You guys know she's only on dA and FA so what she posts is what you see. I follow her on both accounts and she's never mentioned the cub thing since. You got her to stop, so now please stop bringing it up. Instead of griping, how about suggesting solutions?

Like I said I don’t converse with her on skype so I dunno if she does it privately or not. But you’re right we should drop the subject, especially if the drama is over with. 

To block and leave anon: If only it was about her art. Rhoadie is not too good as a person. She fetishes incest, rape and (who knows because of her past)pedophilia. She is manipulative and pushy with her friendships, going as far as forcing it on people. In between guilt tripping people into ass kissing and call out journals if you don't fall for it, guess letting be known who she is, is reasonable. If she gets upset about it, she can change instead of sending white knights here.

Since the last drama she’s said she’s tried to stop cub porn. Dunno if she’s still fetishizing it through RP or… but hard telling as I don’t converse with her. 

So now you get to decide which characters can and can't be in the TLK universe? TLK may follow realistic standards part of the time, but not all of the time. Ex: Since when do hyena's have extremely spiked hair (Shenzi) and only three toes? TLK is a work of fiction and so are peoples characters, no matter how unnatural. Just let them be happy mixing their characters with their favorite universe. They aren't hurting anyone. (don't make this about tracers or baser babies, focus on designs here)

If you can’t handle criticism that’s your problem. Not mine. You won’t make it in the art world if you can’t take criticism. Don’t like it, ignore the blog. Don’t go around making silly stamps crying about how mean we all are to de childwenz. I’m not telling people to go after these characters or to shun their creators. Just sharing how it might look better unless a face lift can’t help it. I’ve stated this before earlier in the blog. Perhaps you did not scroll past it yet because you were too busy fuming mad over shit that shouldn’t bother you. 

I really don't see what Rho's old design has to do with anything, and it was red and purple. Not fuchsia or magenta or pink. Like seriously guys, go look in her or DJ's galleries before you talk about stuff. At least now she's considered making the markings on her character slightly darker than the pelt or none at all so doesn't that count for anything?

I think we were talking about the point of the matter it not being a fitting design to be considered a “TLK OC”. If anything by itself is fine for a fursona since they are characters unto themselves. But I don’t see it blending in with the TLK world as an interacting OC. 

I don't think Rhoadie's markings are ugly, it's the overuse of scars and the "she's definitely a TLK-verse character!!" It's just not realistic.

I’m also p positive Rho use to be bright fuchsia at one time because DJ88 did a commission for her in that color. Something about going through a Transformers phase at the time. I think. 

Honestly, the overall design and the back marking is quite nice, but then I like wing-ish like markings. The biggest problem on rho design is all the paraphernalia. All the fluff and scarring was unnecessary. One thing is having a complex character (let's say a leopard or a zebra) and another completely different thing is having a character that is a endless chore to draw. Would charge +40% for complexity and DEFINITELY wouldn't draw for free. Not even as a trade.

I thought about it while I was out running errands today and didn’t Rho’s design use to be bright neon fuchsia and passed off as a TLK OC? So to the anon who claimed she bought it from Belka is stretching it a bit much. 

Also yes, agreed. Some scarring is good. You can have a story behind how the character gained those scars. Because scars do have stories and memories behind them. But I firmly believe they should have character development behind them if they’re to stand out. For example my HTTYD OC, I gave her a scar over her right cheek which extends to the bridge of her nose, but that’s because she was forced to endure a holmgang(Viking duel). This was a pivotal moment for her and her relationship with a bully character whom later becomes her love interest(Because I’m a sucker for those kinds of ships). But for this it’s just a smol scar. Nothing over the top and it helped pivot the character development. Something I kind of wish Disney did for Scar’s scar. And something I hope they touch on the live action film. 

Just saying if you don't like someone, or their art why not just block them and not be rude? I mean aren't you all becoming as bad? Hating on her well she hates on other people, it's the same thing bad. BLOCK AND IGNORE not to hard.

I agree. But this fandom does not have a place to safely rant about bad behavior among their ranks. Those kinds of blogs are nonexistent. That’s why I made this blog. Because I didn’t have a place to rant about toxic or art theft behavior in this fandom. Other people saw this existed and chimed in. 

Man if you don't like Rhoadie's markings, you must hate Belka-1100 's lion adopts. She's the one that designed Rhoadie's markings after all

She did? I thought Rho came up with them herself. Granted I noticed a similarity between Belka’s designs and Rho’s. I just didn’t put two and two together. 

Anon also for forgot #12: drawing her hideous character (lets be honest, those markings make her look awful), when she drops subtle hints on your artwork. she watches me on DA, every time i post something, she drops her character. i upload anything, she says shit like "i'd love to rhoadie with them".

I kinda have to agree. Maybe if the markings were subtle and smaller or nonexistent Rho would be a pretty character. I have a character, Khola, with black markings that run along either side of her secondary neck color. But she’s still pretty because the markings aren’t blinding. They’re subtle enough that they accentuate the character’s design. 

Anon you did forgot one thing, #11 Supporting her shitty incest fetish porn by saying "IT'S NOT REAL!!!" and sometimes drawing it for her
