Re: DON'T U DARE DRAW LIONS AS WHITE

I think drawing them as white would be pretty stupid, though.

but white lions are a real thing that exist

The thing is, the lions in the Lion King aren't. If someone wants to draw Kimba as a white kid, I'm fine with it.

the lions in TLK aren't black either though
they're like
orange and such
the fanart I've seen with "white" characters has been keeping the color schemes from the movie aka they're kinda orange looking
don't see why animals can be said to have a certain skin color in a human form anyway, and don't lions have pale skin under their fur to boot?

I think their big point is - this is Africa. Africa is synonymous with Africans and they are usually dark in skintone.

I probably would be repeating the photoset further.

If it was official art from Disney, I'd agree with you 100%, but we're talking about fanart, which, lbr, like fanfiction, doesn't actually have any sort of magical way of stopping the original (or other interpretations) from existing.

They're lions

animals

they don't have a race

I thought the idea of "nonhuman characters as humans" fanart was to draw them as they might look if they really had been humans instead of whatever nonhuman thing they are in canon. Not literally as nonhuman thing in human form.

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2013-04-07 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Both ways exist.

Eh, I've seen some really shitty white!TLK characters, and some really good ones. I think, like all fanart, there's good stuff and bad stuff, and in the end, it's just fanart, people need to realize it's not the end of the world.

TLK is actually "Kimba the WHITE Lion" stolen and remade by Disney.

~the more you know~

Re: DON'T U DARE DRAW LIONS AS WHITE

(Anonymous) 2013-04-07 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I've heard that that was a rumor, but not 100% fact.

Re: DON'T U DARE DRAW LIONS AS WHITE

(Anonymous) 2013-04-07 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pretty obvious if you just sit down and compare the two: http://robwrite.hubpages.com/hub/THE-LION-KING-Controversy-Did-Disney-Rip-off-Kimba-the-White-Lion

There's no way all that was coincidence.

Going even further back though, the Lion King is also a retelling of Shakespeare Hamlet. I'd love someone to try and say any of the characters in Hamlet were meant to be black.

And the guy who created Kimba was a huge disney fanboy and even got his career started by remaking disney's works into manga/anime. It went both ways.

Nope. Old and debunked.

TLK is Hamlet stolen and remade by Disney.

Nope.

You can't steal something that's public domain.

Re: DON'T U DARE DRAW LIONS AS WHITE

Can't it be both?

There a some visual similarities, but that's about it.
