The edit on the right is just… I just had to share!
Bobble head syndrome!
Felt like sharing my version of Kopa on here. Long story short, in my TLK-verse he’s the illegitimate son of Nala and Chumvi who was given to his dad to be raised by him without Simba’s knowledge. What do you think?
He’s pretty handsome! And I like the idea. I should share my own version of Kopa some day.
An FC of mine! His name is Kali, Zira’s second-in-command and the original papa of the Outsiders.
Whadaya think? :)
He’s giving me Zugor(Tarzan 2) vibes. I like him!
Ah yes, “princess” Nala.
I love how Disney themselves doesn’t know what character clip art they’re using to sell merch.
Unfortunately, it’s not the higher ups, this is an issue with marketing. The Higher ups just tell them to make the merch. Their marketeers don’t know what character clip art they’re using. I have the same issue when they use Mufasa as opposed to Simba. The two are dramatically different and yet they don’t know one from two.
Here’s even more evidence against Kimbaww fans, straight from the Kimba DVD bonus feature saying they are in the wrong. Him basically saying Kimba fans got out of control about the whole controversy and changed the narrative to fit their claims when none of it is true. He even says the whole Bambi to Kimba and Bambi to Lion King thing.
The holy grail to this annoying weeb argument!
So this person decided to straight up recolor NamyGaga’s art.
———-
They also straight up traced Panther85′s art and claimed originul the art donut steel.
Maybe this is just another case of me looking too hard, but I can’t help but feel like ive seen the bottom two before? The art styles, when it comes to the busts, look different from each other but again, I can’t put my finger on it. Bottom right reminds me of something from eyesinthedark666 however nobody owns elongated lion faces and Egyptian themes. it’s likely just me being cautious of buying from anyone these days as i’ve been burned before with heavily referenced adopts
DragonPinkiePie has had a habit of recoloring fanart or tracing in the past. Not sure if they still do it. So I don’t blame you for being cautious with this one in particular. Maybe other followers will recognize these?
So considering you like to call out people for tracing and referencing things, what do you call this artwork that you made?
Sure, it was personal art and you made no money off of it, but you have repeatedly gone after artists for less.
You also do like to reference commissions as well, so pot meet kettle I guess.
Someone who doesn’t know what referencing is and is grasping at straws?
Someone who’s butthurt about the previous drama that they need to take a chill pill? Because I talked with AW and we’re cool now.
I got more.
Also, I never once copied off other fan artists. So… What’s your point? Do you want us to go back to the dark ages of being afraid of using references?
If you really wanted me to look bad, you could have exposed that I use bases. Oh wait. I used those to sell palettes that others would turn into their own OCs. I also used them for the color book test when I make new OCs.
What about my recolors? Oh wait. I admit when I do those, too. And I do them to destress or have fun. I don’t make a profit off neither.
I guess you got nothing on me
Please allow me to go on a bit of a tangent. The Albino art price situation has intrigued me.
Problem 1: The reference sheet commissions are overpriced. By Albino’s own Commission Price 2020 Sheet, a singl3 shaded fullbody is worth $20, making two $40 and a single unshaded $15, double 30. Since the reference sheet commissions is offering two shaded fullbodies at $70 and unshaded at $50, that is an over charge of $30 and $20 respectively.
It is literally cheaper to buy from their commission sheet and put the two images together on your own. It isn’t like you are paying for anything of worth otherwise, because anyone can nab a TLK BG and slap down a color palette.

Problem 2: Why are you paying for a shaded reference sheet? Shading is a DETERMINANT to a reference sheet. It obscures markings/palette, making the process of replicating the character more of a pain in the ass for any other artist.
Problem 3: Why are you paying for shit shading? This isn’t even proper cell-shading. It looks like inverted drop shadow. If this was Ale-Tie or lalupine tier shading I get paying that much. But it isn’t. It is messy.
Problem 4: Albino can’t keep a consistent style. Each art-piece they made has a drastically different quality to it. Some look nice and almost movie-esce, other looks rushed and sloppy. You are going to take a chance at paying $70 on something like looks like shit when you can pay $70 somewhere else can get a superior produce.
Let’s not drag Ale-tie or Lalupine into this since they’re not involved in the drama.
But Problem one is exactly why I think the pricing is a mistake. Her other prices are fine. But for the reference sheet itself is egregiously priced. If she accepted suggestions and didn’t block people for correcting her copying habit, I’d have happily suggested to her that she needs to make her base price 40$ for three basic poses and +10$ more for shading. That to me is more reasonable. And in these trying times, not everyone is going to have the luxury of buying art at such a high price. Many artists will and likely are lowering their prices and making bundling offers to draw more hopeful buyers in.
Problem 4 is a serious issue. Especially since AW admitted to copying another artist. When an artist copies or has that reputation, it will be a deal breaker. I would rather pay for an honest artist to draw my purchased request.
And now with that, I’m done on this drama.
