I was linked to this, this morning. Another site where they’ve been making money off artists like Tigon and Kohuarts. Others too. 

Time to weaponize Disney 

Acid laced kool-aid neon barf lions recolored over fan art, no credit and cropped/erased watermarks. Either troll or dumb punk ass kid. 

This instagram is recoloring random fan art they find on Google, passing it off as an ‘edit,’ and not crediting the artists. Treats fan art like their own personal coloring page. They have stolen from Panther85, WhiteKimya, and Abtherarekwibus of whom I recognize immediately. 

The impetuousness of this one was Karen level toxic. They used having a bad day at work as an excuse to throw a tantrum after having been told you can’t redraw/copy fan art and that you must ask first and then credit your sources. They did neither, and proceeded to throw mud at me because how dare I get to recolor when they can’t “reference” art they find on Google(instead of direct linking to the deviation, they direct linked to the thumbnail making sure that it didn’t link to the deviation to prove their point). And proceeded to attack others coming in to defend the artists, explaining the same thing. They go on crying about how it’s not a crime to use references. In their case, they redrew, they didn’t ‘reference’ shit. There’s a difference between using references and redrawing your source pose for pose. Drawing Nala with her rump facing the audience and calling it ‘vent art’ because they ‘had a bad day’ just shows how entitled and selfish this person is over someone else’s fanart. 

Another instagram account that appears to have migrated over from picsart. That site that has the tools that members abuse and edit fan art for reusable colorform stickers. This dingus actually cut out characters from fan art and plastered their username on it as if they drew it. 

This account has reposted several pics just to leave commentary on them. While they do give credit, they won’t comply to artists asking them to remove their works. And instead, in Karen like fashion, delete the comments and block the artist. They’ve stolen from so many artists who don’t wish their works reposted. 

Heavily copying fan art from MalisTLK, to Ko-lionworld, to Panther85 and maybe more. Blocked deviants warning them and asking them to stop, and removed the comments. Clearly doesn’t care that they’re treating fan art like a personal coloring book.

Why is everyone suddenly waking up and deciding that they’re gonna produce an animated fan series for youtube? Is it because My Pride worked? At Least My Pride, despite it’s drama, produced a product. Everything I’ve seen out of the TLG fandom, thus far, has been a scam with nothing to show for except growing toxicity.

What ever happened to just making a fan comic? I like those more. They’re easier to produce by yourself, unless you’re willing to shill out to an artist to co illustrate your story, and less drama.

I would be more inclined to consume your story and support you if it was a fan comic.

Art thief treating fan art like bases. They turned Nostalgicchills’ art into a base without their consent along with another artist’s work. I could use some help IDing the artist. The only image I have to go by is a pinterest post. Any help finding them would be great!

All Silver-wolf-17 did, was edit the screenshots. She did not redraw them, as she so claims she did. She only changed elements. If she had redrawn them as she so claims, they would be vastly different. But no. She only changed certain body portions, swapped a piece of bg with another, and lied about changing Kovu’s position.

It’s an edit if you do that.

It’s okay to edit. But call them what they are. Don’t be lying for clout.
