I knew this image was too perfect to be original from Lisa. Not to mention the necks are too narrow like she failed to resize the heads. Lisa is evolving to frankentracing. I knew I recognized the body on the cub on the right. She frankentraced DJ88(and possibly others). Which makes it a first for her. I also knew it was only a matter of time before she turned back to tracing or recoloring.
Found this in the TLG tag on dA and I already knew that it was art theft AND recolored. I don’t know who the original artist is though.
And they recolored it twice. I thought it was Eyes, but she says it’s not and that it does look familiar to her. She’s trying to track down the original. Judging by the pixelated edges, it looks like they cut it out of the original image. It looks like a cub mufasa to me that got recolored horribly.
Update: Source found. Original artist is Howikin.
Alright. This time with the username hidden. I still think peple should know who this is but its your call i guess. This person has been selling frankentraces for real money. I’m not on DA but they seem fairly popular and they’ve been a member for 8 years. Idk if they have always traced and gotten away with it, but otherwise idk why they would do this
I do not approve of this. Some of these look spot on traced, others heavily reffed. It’s a shame too because I looked at the person’s art and suffice to say I can’t trust their talent if they’re tracing for money.
Edit: You missed the username in the URL. I fixed it, but next time, please be more alert ^u^
Same fuck face from before. Beginning to think they’re a fucked up kid looking for kicks by trolling this fandom.
Oh boy… got a newb who thinks they’re not stealing. And yet, proof is in the eye of the beholder here.

Pt 2:
So probably about 10 minutes after he was booted, he tried to rejoin (and was declined). Well I got this little message thread in my inbox. It ended with him blocking me again. He unblocked me this morning, so I fully expect a message from him in the next few hours.
But I love how he says I’m not even a lion king fan. Shit. Guess I gotta delete my DA with all of my fan characters now. My TLK fan card has been revoked.
I didn’t know we had to steal fan art to be real TLK fans. Guess I should rage quit this blog since my fan card has also been revoked!

Pt 1:
So I help mod a Lion King fanpage on facebook in my spare time. One of our rules is to not post fanart you didn’t make, no matter how it’s posted. Well we got a reported post, and I hopped on to inform the guy that his post contained stolen artwork. The following happened.
After this, he blocked me (another rule he broke, as you cannot block admins in the group), and reposted his post. He got a swift boot for this. The next post is his reaction and the ensuing argument.
Note: His name will not be censored through any of this. Any guy who talks to a woman like this deserves to have his name blasted in my book.
Agreed. And anyone who uses that type of slang is a dateless wonder in my book.
I stand corrected, it wasn’t traced off of TC, it was just flat ass traced right off of TLG. Seems she’s tracing to earn, not learn. Thaaaaat could get you into trouble. Especially since she was so very aggressive and defensive about it.
They may have frankentraced the feet off of TLG thinking no one would notice, but frames 2-4 are @xxtc-96xx‘s art.
