i believe this…

…was taken from this base by ChubNarwhalBases on DeviantART

no credit was given for the reference if it’s true

But does it really matter? Esp when the base origin took it from Disney? 

seems to be flipped then referenced from an older mysteriousharu drawing. no credit given, clearly. I did an overlay and there was some matching with the head of Kopa. 

——-

It seems like they’ve heavily referenced as opposed to traced or hard copied. They may have traced some lements, though. But it’s not a 100% line up to the original

this is the avatar of a french user on AS, and i doubt it’s theirs and that they got permission to use it…

can anyone help track down the original artist?

Anybody recognize this pic? It kinda makes me think of Vitani, honestly. 

i’m not sure where the body cane from, but i think this is where the head came from

Ahh, possibly! I was thinking maybe it was from Dolphy’s older fanart, too. But come to think of it, they(Dolphy’s pic) share the same pose here. 

not 100% certain but i feel like that one asking if it was someone’s art that was traced might just be ripped from SP? not sure, but they look pretty similar 

They do look pretty similar. As long as they’re not recoloring fanart, I see no problem since it’s on Animation Source. 

hiya, i found this on AS being used as an avatar but i’m not sure who the original artist is. think you can do some detective work?

i already checked with hydracarina, but this isn’t her work.

It might be traced from the film. But if anyone can recognize it, please give a shout in the ask box! 

So protective. Time to make our own bootleg Bora I guess?

The only thing she ripped was the name. She actually made her bora look more original compared to her amani which is an abomination of creativity. 

I wonder if this watermark is retaliation to my making my own Amani, I mean Shani. 

Apparently, there are some people who still firmly believe that Fluffy and Kopa are one and the same.

Oy vey… I am reminded of the twat who tried to pass off the gender reveal of Simba’s cub in TLK 2019′s novel epilogue. Without a name there’s no proof it’s Kopa. It’s just an assumption which we call headcanon. 

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. 

Who’s cracked-out, arthritic grandma did Disney hire to stitch this?

It looks like they used a shitty base they found on DA from 2009. The colors aren’t even right!

And they’re selling this shit for a hundred bucks?! Damn I’m sure this would win the ugly sweater contest at work but unless I’m rolling in dough I wouldn’t even consider buying this!

Disney is out of their MIND. I want to believe they’re just in some lab making this shit to see if we’re dumb enough to buy it….

I would dare say it’s bootlegged on account of the quality it’s in, but damn, it’s on Disney’s shop? Holy crap that’s some shitty merch, Disney!
