... I feel like this looks must too familiar to the one I made for Songo with the same lyrics and theme... Mostly because of the background and the simba and Nala pic in the top right hand corner.

I feel bad saying anything, and maybe it's just me, but still? What do you think Simbaholikov?

Congrats Cherish and Lxl

^ Looks to me like she saw your sig that you made, and then tried to recreate it but in her own style. the image is hers, but the design of it is not.

Although, that is a popular song, and the lyrics do match what is going on in the image, but I think it so too much a coincidence. It is still not quite flat out plagiarism though...

[Jiirani]

^ That's what I was thinking. There's not much you can do with the lyrics, to be fair, there aren't many images of Pride Rock on fire. I've never heard the song before, so I wasn't aware of the other lyrics. The placement of the image was too close for comfort, and I acknowledge that she didn't outright copy it, but still. I don't mind inspiring people, but it's kind of offensive to try and pass of the whole idea as you're own, you know?

I agree, I knew I had seen something like that before on here. I wanted to say something but as I'm new to graphic making I didn't think it my place too

[Simbaholikov]

I told her about it and asked her to make a new one the other day, which she has. I dunno why the original image wasn't removed when I edited the first post to remove it.. just MLK being glitchy again I guess. -.-

Anyways I'm late with this.. New submissions added and voting will be up soon. ^^

Alright, I deleted the image in question. No need for it to be in the topic anymore, it's not in the running, and is possible borderline-plagarism. Please, in the future don't submit an image you think is iffy, or is as directly influenced by another signature, as that one was.

[Simbaholikov]

Sorry, I wasn't aware the image was plagiarized until it was pointed out to me by someone else.
