I think Naoki just wants to cling to her bootleg ripoff OC. Because she makes very subtle changes and ignores the pelt or other designs. 

So, because of this, I took the liberty of redesigning amani for her. Keeping with her “Simba’s sibling” routine, I leaned more towards Sarabi with redesigning Amani and gave her rounded cheeks and thick eyelashes. I also gave her Concept Sarabi’s dorsal stripe. To blend in Mufasa’s traits, I borrowed the ear fwips from Kion and gave her dark ear gradient rims on the inside, borrowed from Adult Scar. 

Notice how my design has a ton difference compared to her shitty design. Notice how she actually looks like an Amani and actually looks like she might have a personality that isn’t that of a cardboard standee. This design only took me 5 minutes to think up, excluding drawing the damn thing! 

Naoki is still tweaking asshole. The thing is, she can tweak her design as much as she wants, but it’s still gonna be Leah. 

Red flags are rising on this one. 

Does anyone want to kindly explain to Craig Elliot what recolors and character theft are? 

Naoki-TLK1 appears to be back under a new Artstation account and still posting Bootleg Leah. 

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. 

I wonder if this is the same person who tried to pass off the epilogue of TLK 2019 as proof the cub is Kopa. Or maybe another Kopa worshipper, because they’ve had me blocked. 

Truth is, Kopa’s fans worship him like he’s the second coming of Jesus. 

This SarahtheLioness drama is getting hilariously out of hand. She claims she’s 29-years-old but acts like a 5-year-old. She has about 10+ RP accounts and she’s throwing a temper tantrum on each of them every time someone tells her otherwise, even if politely approached. She seems to think that if she found it on Google, it’s hers. 

Seriously, every time she shouts “MINE!” on fanart, this is the only thing that comes to mind 

This is the first time I’ve encountered anyone dumb enough to repost artwork of a character from a YCH and claim it their character donut steel.
