Influence is one thing, but he's nearly identical to Killian. :/

I based his design off of stuff from a website called IMVU...it's a 3D client...it's possible that the person that made the tail and hair had Killian in mind, I see where it's similar, but he's actually not that close, he doesn't have the middle marking to any of his diamonds, there is none on his shoulders like the images (though mine are close as they are on the upper arm, just below the shoulder) i see there of Killian AND Killian doesn't have the scales on his sides let alone the markings on his sides...and while I see that the horn pattern appears the same, Talik actually has several on the back of his head that at this angle are not visible, and from what i see, Nepi's Killian doesn't have more than those four. Also, Nepi's design has the square/diamond markings as lighter, mine are dark and Talik doesn't wear jewelry other than when he's clothed and he just wears a loose chain that holds his loin cloth, which I don't see Killian wearing a lion cloth, even though he has the shoulder/neck thing and the gloves. Also, Talik doesn't have pleating like Killian does, he has straight, flat panels to his underbelly, Killian appears to have two lines of thicker scales...And mine has rather normal sized ears, even if they're pointed, they're not elongated ears like Killian's....so no, he's not NEARLY identical, there are quite a few differences that I just named. If you need more, let me know, I'll be more than willing to point them out to you :)

(And thank you for showing that to me, though, I see the similarities but sadly, my character and image has nothing to do with Nepi's design, which had far more detail and is better done than my own. I had no influence for my naga based off of anyone else's naga, all of the designs of my characters are mine alone, regardless of similarities...with the internet, you're bound to find quite a LOT of images that are similar (Even uncanny resemblances) that in all honesty have had no influence from one another, i've had Talik far longer than that image of Killian had been posted, actually, long before Nepi even joined deviantART, I just didn't attempting to draw every character -main or not- until recently, and Talik and his family happen to have priority on the "To Draw" list. I appreciate you looking out for another artist though, I understand stolen ideas, but once more, I assure you that Talik is my own brain child, even if he looks very similar to Killian.)
