it's from actual animes not independent artists, also I never said the ORIGINAL photo was my own.
Please don't take this as a rude comment, but might I add something here...
I was able to look up some of the original pieces you used and some do happen to be by independent artists, some even have their signature in the drawing..
I think just to be safe to just state in your original post something along the lines that you did not create the original line work, but just edited it for the sake of re-creation/experience. ?
-Just tryin to help ya out! <3
-Your edits are also quite unique and I find it very creative to how you can change them to represent someone else's request!
