Fuck yea terrible Lion King fandom
Fun fact about odd names I sent you before - Nyala is some kind of african gazelle and some people use it as their lion OC name because it's similar to Nala xD

It’s pretty sounding but not a reason I would use it to name a character. I would likely name a character with that name that’s as swift or graceful as a gazelle. 

A bunch of odd names (all serious): Nyala, Nara, Nalovu, Navu, Ovu, Nukovu, Kovara, Kavuu, Kovani, Taku, Taki, Kaion (duh), Vitanja, Saranala, Simbafee, Ztira.

Bizarre names indeed. 

A bad character name to add to your list - Simbala

Good lord. Consider it added. It’s one thing if it’s a joke, but another if they’re serious. 

I think that Scar could easily lie that he lost the Roar because the Lion Guard is gone. But how and when Rafiki found out what happened is what bugs me.

There were likely witnesses? Remember, there is an underground unit that gathers intel for Mufasa. 

Lol, looks like Mafuma found your blog and is doing anon spamming xD And sorry, not overlay from me. My bad that I didn't do it before announcing the trace, but I still believe the images are frankentraced, just with many modifications (like PrinceVoldy showed lately in his "art" process submission). However the main part of the body still matches said screenshot of Zira on the back and belly. Speaking of original art, I hope you don't mind if I send you some of my TLK art progress soon :)

At least PrinceVoldy doesn’t beg for money to keep posting recolors.

The only thing PrinceVoldy is in trouble for, is posting edited TLK backgrounds and loudly claiming ORIGINUL COPYRIGHT MEH. Which is dumb af to claim Disney backgrounds as theirs. They also don’t cram their recolors into every TLK tag they can think of. But they’re still recoloring and not getting any better at art either. Not sure whether or not their ego is as inflated as Mafuma’s however. 

I can send you the overlay tomorrow. The body matches with the shot of Zira from her first appearance (when she's walking and talking to Simba) but I need a better frame. And I suspect the other Simba shot she traced for head.

You can get better frames by going to Youtube videos, pausing the video, and using the [ , ] and [ . ] keys to frame by frame skim through. Make sure the videos are HD quality. 

I'm pretty certain I managed to find at least one image they frankentraced for a commission of that red male lion.

Oh? Have you got an overlay? 

Funny that people are still bitching at Eyes tracing, but they seem to be killing themselves over a traced (and not so cheap) commission from Mafuma and nobody ever has a problem with that.

Oh the hypocrisy! Owe it burns! 

Turns out that people who do nice innocent TLK art on DA have a dark Furaffinity side where they post TLK porn. Kill me.

I don’t draw porn??? 

But I hear ya. Learning this about people I like, lose respect points from me. Major point loss if they draw cub porn. 

So Disney closed the biggest Lion Guard fanpage on Facebook...

I had heard this. I’m keeping the owner anonymous as they came to me asking for help. In this situation it’s hard to see whether fighting against that DMCA would be useful or not. I’ve no idea personally why Disney did this as they’re usually lax with fan pages and fan things like this. Perhaps it was the animatics that were shared that got them removed? No one really knows why as there was 0 infringement going on that page. They were just sharing information and merchandise. Free advertisement for Disney. But I’m sure Disney had their reasons.
