This individual is rather.. interesting. They tried to pass off a Sarabi screenshot at first as their source, but when I pulled out an overlay and the original of one of their traced drawings, they went and said they got ‘permission’ from the artist to 'reference’. Hmm mmm mm..
Original work belongs to TC-96.
Nothing irks me more than recolored fan art like this.
Welcome to the fandom Tharena. This is their first piece of fan art that’s been stolen.
We have a saying that goes “You’re not officially a member of the fandom till you’ve had your works stolen at least twice."
Welcome to the fandom MalisTLK.
The image on the right is actually her recolored fursona. And constitutes as character theft since the recolor’s silhouette is the same as hers.
Stolen babymips and edited screenshots. I get a good chortle out of people trying to pass off Vitani or any other character with minor detail changes as their ‘original’ character.
I recognize the image, and recognize that the original characer that was traced off of the image to make this mess was grey with white facial markings but I can’t for the life of me remember who the artist’s name is nor can I find the original at all. My stupid brain keeps wanting to say that the original artist of this image and character starts with a J but I don’t even fucking know anymore.
If anyone from the TLK fandom back in the early 2000s late 90s remembers this image and artist please let me know.
