well, at least it was not a commission and they are not trying to take credit for it? humorous!
It’s one of the better edits I’ve seen come out of deviantART. The kid shows promise.
Okay, turning myself in here. I just did this. I wanted to play around with my characters pelt colors in different lighting. Also with outlining in a color besides black, since that’s what I normally outline in.
I made it two simba recolors by just combining screenshots.
I feel dirty, but I had fun with it lol
But that’s what I use traced bases for, testing new character’s color palettes before I start to draw them. These lil guys look pretty good!
I’m seriously starting to think the Lion King “editing” community followed this video as gospel on how to make an OC without realizing it was satire: https://youtu.be/3uGNIP4wVjc rofl
It would not surprise me as many OCs are terrible and created on the fly to fit in with the fandom then get treated like they put years of work into them. At least the ones that aren’t acid laced kool-aid vomit here are pretty despite their edginess.
Just one problem, it’s not your “art”. The copyrights still retain to the company you edited from. Plus, they just spliced Kion’s mane onto cub Simba with some minor color alteration. Although they did consider lighting when editing, +1 for that detail.
Got bored and decided to open MMD (because I can’t draw for shit) to see if I could try my hand at making a melanistic lion. I decided to use a dark blue instead of flat out black and gave him a navy-ish color. And blue eyes because I’m a sucker for blue eyes honestly. Haha I think I could have gone lighter on the color for more realism~ I used this Kovu model as a base. The modeler allows edits of their models as long as credit is given.
I actually like the colors on him. Is MMD easy to use? I’ve been contemplating modeling my HTTYD OCs for MMD use.
I also fail to see how anyone demands credit on a ripped Kingdom Hearts model. It’s back to demanding credit for the traced bases all over again.
I’ve heard of cutting up and pasting together screenshots but never have I heard of cutting up and pasting together Magazine illustrations. At first it looks like they really tried but then you get to the hair on Kion and Tiifu’s head as well as the background and it’s clearly an edit. Fairly sure the rest is also edited from screenshots. They tried at least. In a bizarre format.
