Topic: I was wrongly accused of plagarism

Posted under General

help; someone reported me as plagiarizing someone else's art. I did no such thing. I commissioned the art from a friend who no longer wants to be associated with that type of pic but is still otherwise on good terms with me (so I am withholding their name); i digitally colored it myself after commissioning it; and the friend gave me general permission to post it; what part of that is plagiarism? if the friend still did that type of pic i might even include their name.

I'd say you should DM spe about this (https://e621.net/users/752426 ), since they gave you the record.
