what happened to that white lion with the rainbow mane? there used to be a lot of pictures of him here, but I can't find any now...there was one similar, but he's not the same. if he was taken down by the artist/character owner, where can I find this guy?

I assume you're referring to tinintri.

no...not that one, I found some pics of him on FA. it was this guy http://www.furaffinity.net/user/pride

but there where more pictures than just the ones on his page.

Maybe he realised his character wasn't terribly original and decided to purge him from the web?

One can hope, but it isn't likely.
