Yes, but be sure to ask the artist for permission to use them! (And always try to give credit) The characters might not belong to the artist or, if they do belong to the artist, they might hold a lot of emotional value, so the artist might not feel comfortable with you sharing/using their art!

very, tho if i may ask do you know who the artist is?

unknownbug 2021-04-28 20:13:42 UTC #4

i don't really know who the artist is, i just found it on google

unknownbug 2021-04-28 20:14:30 UTC #5

nope found it on google, sometimes they don't really show the real artist

That's not really an excuse, the link leading to the site will usually take you to the artist and if not you can always try to reverse search the image.

unknownbug 2021-04-28 20:19:12 UTC #7

ok,i would try if i can't find the artist ill just delete the post ok

No worries! Just something to look out for in the future if you want to use someone's art

unknownbug 2021-04-28 20:26:53 UTC #9

VibrantFox 2021-04-28 20:31:48 UTC #10

also if ever you're having trouble with google's reverse image search these two sites are useful

https://saucenao.com/
https://tineye.com/

ok thanks, i don't really know how to reverse image im not that smart or smart at all-

unknownbug 2021-04-28 20:39:19 UTC #12

my brain cells don't work like they use

VibrantFox 2021-04-28 21:31:11 UTC #13

it's no worries, sometimes tech gets tough ^^;; heck i only ever manager to find saucenao from a twitter thread

so long as you've got an image url to plug in (for ex: https://forums.tapas.io/uploads/default/original/3X/0/4/041b718f0385aa34f5a26f828ed7977c6c78627d.png is the link for the first image you shared) you can plug it into either of those websites (tineye or saucenao) and 9/10 it'll immediately link you to the image source

no one means to come at you but but given a lot of folks here are creators (artists especially) we're very particular when it comes to potential art theft. so long as your respectful of the artworks original creator it's usually fine, giving credit or asking permission is just considered common courtesy
