I drew my own image(s) and I have some questions before posting them.
1.) Since I created them, what do I do with the source? Do I leave it blank?
2.) Since of have a set of 3 images and they are explicit, can I put them in a pool? In the help page for pools, it says "...creating pools with subjective themes (e.g., "hot pics") will not be tolerated.". Do explicit images count as "hot picks"?

1: up to you; I suggest getting an alternate site as a source, like FA, Ink, etc.. Create an account, choose to publicly (if I recall you can make them private) upload there or not but make sure to have some form of off-site storage, in case your PC goes deaded.

2: you can use child/parent posts to "pool" up images if they are appropriate. You'd have to give an example, though...

If your posts involve the same scenario progressing forward, or literally int he same area just from a different angle (Or, for the same thing, same angle, but one small difference!) you can pool them. Otherwise, use a "Set" for them. You can have Sets for whatever you want, they're just not immediately visible to people (And you can put them as private to ensure they're never visible to people).

Like Furrin said, depends on the images. Irrelevant child/parent posts shouldn't be linked, but you can use the description field and link the post's URL, or as they said a set and link that into the description field.

Entering the code set #___ where the underscores represent the actual number will automatically link it, so that you do not need to post the entire URL, just the set's number. This is helpful as some people browse e926 or a third-party mobile mask, and don't want to click into the e621 direct site.
Worth pointing out is that the # is needed before the number, if you just do set 4432 for example, it won't link anything. set #4432 however, would.
