Sorry, I don't speak English, so I'm using Google Translate to speak to you in
English. I speak French; I'm from Quebec.
I present to you my Pokémon card collection, I have a very, very large collection of cards,
I must have close to 20,000 cards! I also have a very large number of ultra-rare cards!
My DA Max subscription
I was finally able to afford my subscription thanks to the discount! I'm so happy! I've wanted a DA subscription for such a long time! I even decided to change my name to remove the hyphen between Zephira and Wolf because I've always preferred them stuck together, so 'ZephiraWolf,' and I added the word Art. So my new username is ZephiraWolfArt. I waited 18 years to get this subscription! Yeah, my very first account that I created was in 2008 when I was 18, and since then, over the years, I've deactivated some and created others.
Respectful Clarification Journal
I want to clarify a few things about my artistic work and my presence on DeviantArt. This message is not an aggressive response or an attack on anyone. It's simply a calm and respectful clarification to avoid misunderstandings.
My creative process
I create my own bases and my own drawings. Every piece I publish comes from my imagination, inspired by The Lion King and Pokémon. I practice and take my time, and I never put other people’s work into AI image generators, and I deeply respect the work of other artists.
I understand that some people might have concerns about AI or plagiarism. I’m also against the illegal use of AI and against art theft. My goal is to create honestly and transparently.
My attitude towards the community
I am on two blacklists already, and it really hurts me a lot. I haven't done anything to these users (I won't say their names out of respect). I am an extremely sensitive wolf who gets scared very easily. What is certain is that I would never create a
My long history with copyright anxiety
I lived with the fear of 'copyright' for 18 years. It all started in 2008, when I was 18 and new to the Internet. I didn’t know what a SpeedPaint was or about copyright, and I thought it was a tutorial showing how to draw. I copied the wolf because I believed I was learning. Instead of getting advice, I was harassed, intimidated, and humiliated. The leader of a group even made a YouTube video targeting me, using my old username. That moment left a deep impact on me. Since then, the word 'copyright' has stayed in my mind every day. Not because I wanted to steal — but because I was attacked at a time when I didn’t understand the rules and was just trying to learn.
This fear has followed me for 18 years, and it resurfaced recently over the past year. But today, I’m learning to understand my past and see that my mistakes were never intentional. They were the actions of a beginner who didn’t yet know the rules, not of someone who wanted to harm anyone.
I’m not a thief. I’m an artist who
About my past mistakes
When I started drawing The Lion King in 2025, I didn't know much about the art community: P2U, F2U, OC rules, or how references worked.
Like many beginners, I made mistakes. None of them were intentional. I was learning, experimenting, and trying to figure out how to create my own characters.
Today, I know the rules better. I understand what's allowed and what's not, and I improve every day.
My old drawings don't define who I am now. They're part of my learning journey, not something I should be hated for.
I want to move forward, grow, and keep creating with respect. Thanks to everyone who supports my progress.
My lack of experience back then
When I started drawing The Lion King in 2025, I didn't have much experience. I didn't know the rules about references, and I didn't know what P2U, F2U, or OCs were. I was still learning how the art community works and how to develop my own Lion King style using geometric shapes.
Because of this lack of experience, I made mistakes.
