Frequently Asked Questions

Need an answer? You're in the right place!

 

• What can I do as a guest?

You can ask questions on Questions page and you can post in site's Guestbook. In order to be able to post any comments and submit your creations, you need to register.

• How do I register?

Go to the top of the site and click "register." Then fill out the required information. Keep in mind, your E-mail needs to be valid or you won't be able to participate! After that you will have to activate your account. Follow the instructions that the E-mail gives you. If you run into problems, chances are you did something incorrectly, or there is a glitch in the registration system. If you've done everything correctly, and you're still having problems, contact Steet.

Don't forget to read the rules!

• How do I get an avatar?

Go to my profile---> Edit my profile---> Change my avatar. From there select an avatar from your computer. Make sure the file is: JPG, GIF, or PNG. BMP files are allowed too.

An alternate way to add a avatar is to add it to the URL of your avatar where you can edit your country, etc. This is good if you want to directly add an avatar from an existing link.

While I'm telling you about avatars, this is how you add them on the forums as well!

Go to User control panel---> Profile--> Edit avatar---> From there upload your image. If you get an error, double check the dimensions and file size of the avatar! The max is: Maximum dimensions; width: 200 pixels, height: 200 pixels, file size: 97.66 KiB.

• How do I get a signature?

Take the same steps as above, BUT go to "Edit signature this time." You will need to upload your signature to an image hosting site such as: imageshack.us, photobucket.com, iaza.com, tinypic.com. Any place that you may know of. Get the direct URL of the image and the paste it into the text box. For an example here is mine. [img]http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww277/Roi_Doberwolf/my%20pics/Sigs/wolfsig2.png[/img] (don't use this please! The sig belongs to Roi Doderwolf, she has allowed me to use the sig)

That should get you your sig!

• Who is Nala's/Kovu's etc. father? What is Selfish Lion's/Malka's mother's etc. names?

No official answer was given. They're unknown

• Is Mohatu father of Uru or Ahadi?

No official answer was given, so it's up to fans.

• Are Mohatu and Selfish Lion realted?

There is no official, confirmed info if those two are related, so the answer would be no.

• Was Zira banished because she murdered Kopa?

Kopa is a character from Six New Adventures, which were approved, but not created by Disney. The Lion King canon is only the three movies known worldwide and created by Disney. Zira did not "murder" Kopa, because he (and other SNA and comic book characters like Ahadi, Uru etc.) just doesn't exist in movie universe.

• How long does it take for a mod to activate my submission?

Chances are, we're just as clueless as you are, as there is no answer to that. The mods will activate your submission when they get around to it. Remember, all of the mods have every single Source to check, so it may take some time. If you have been waiting 4 weeks or more, you should contact one of the mods to let them know you have been waiting awhile.

You should also check to make sure it wasn't deactivated before you contact a mod. You can do that by taking the same steps as if you were sending in the submisstion.

• How do I send to the site?

Simple, just click on send to the site.

If you're sending something to the site for a first time, it must be related to the source. No renders of your characters, no stories on your characters, etc. It MUST be strictly related to the movie. The ratio of official characters is 1:5.

• How do I render!?

There are lots of tutorials on the forums, showing different programs and techniques. Modt of render tutorials are posted on Spirit, Balto and Lion King source's forums. Use the search button on the forums to find them. Note: You must be registered on Animation Source in order to view forum topics.

• How do I blend images?

There are multiple programs out there that will allow you to blend images such as: Photoshop, GIMP, photofiltre, and more. You can even find tutorials on the forums! There are also tutorials on YouTube, check that out if you can.

• How do I make a character?

Sending in characters is very easy. Just go the character page and click "create new character" Add your info and your done! Characters need to be validated by the mods like any other fan creation. Be sure to read the rules carefuly. You can take a look at must-see characters for an idea of how a good character page should look.
