unfortunately, your "work" screams re-edit of someone else's work.  The weapons and patrick chassis are obviously photoshopped in.
 
Meanwhile, these are original works of art.

 

it's one thing to photoshop something, it's another entirely to call it your work.

Hold on there space cowboy. Your "self edit" does not specifically say you made it however the fact that you watermarked the image with your logo is a claim on the work done not only in the edit but also the artwork's drawing process.

Your point is that because you have put your logo on a version of the image which you have edited, it's okay. That would be the same as putting your name on someone else's essay, but changing it a little by adding a few words, is perfectly okay or acceptable. It's not. You're taking credit for someone else's hard work.

I would have found this okay if you, say, did your own take on the original artwork, made it predded out, credited the inspiration. That would have been okay.

This was just lazy. Not even photoshop, probs ms paint editing.

I'm not trying to bash on you but I had to point out your faulty logic and misrepresenting the reality of your words. I ask politely that you don't take other peoples art and claim it as your own.

Tldr; I'm offended and want to compromise with the OP.

Alright, since coldform's comment (and maybe Dermax's) are the only remotely helpful things in this thread, I'm going to take off my fuzzy hat and explain some stuff to you, Youtube_Ex...guh. You know what? You're now Ex.

 

The problem here is plagiarism. I have no doubt that you put time and effort into your edit. God knows the blending is better than what I could do, even if it looks better on mobile than on a monitor. But the fact of the matter is, the image that you based your edits off is not yours and is uncredited in your original post. This is immoral and were you to try to make money off it, illegal. 

 

English isn't your first language and I'm pretty sure you're still pretty young, so I'll go easy on you, largely because fanworks are dear to my heart and I'm always down to encourage transformative works. 

 

Making edits like this is perfectly fine so long as you cite, or provide a source of your edit. Calling it "self-made" is also not great, because the original isn't yours. You need to provide a source. Even if you got the image off pinterest or Tumblr, a responsible editor will track down the original artist and credit them. You know how you're irritated with the people mocking you with more edits and covering your watermark? Imagine how the original artist feels. Here's how you can find the original artist.

 

In Chrome, right click the image you want to use and select "Search Google for image."

 

 

This will bring you to a bunch of results that will, unfortunately, usually be pinterest boards or deviantart galleries (or, if you're lucky, a tumblr post, since tagging on tumblr is generally excellent and will often include or lead to an original artist) or similar that STILL don't give the original source. So you need to scroll through and find the original source. If you're lucky, the artist will have signed the image (more common for western artists than eastern, as we will soon see) and you might be able to get their name or online handle.

 

On page 2 of that Google search, I found this:

 

 

Finally, something claiming to have a source! But you're not done yet. You need to verify that. Following that link took me here:

 

 

Which gave a ton of useful info that would aid me in my search, if they hadn't straight up linked to the gallery, like you should have.

 

 

So there, we have a link to the original source, with the original artist's online handle, and even their name! That's what people expect when you make edits like these. Additionally, it is bad form to put your watermark on someone else's work, even if you spent hundreds of hours on it. Only do that when you have explicit permission to do so. Your case is especially bad, because the original artist didn't sign their work, so it looks like you are claiming the entire picture instead of just your edits. In fact, it is usually polite to ask permission to use someone's work, especially for smaller artists working on commission basis and with smaller IPs. You don't have to do it, it's just a nice thing to do. There's an entire other lecture on Fair Use here, but that is more about the legal aspect.

meh.  I'm oldschool - multiple hand tools with paper. I never adjusted to digital, and never took the time to do so.  I felt more comfortable with the analog stuff anyways.  also, it's just a hobby - I rarely flesh something out fully into a reproducible form.
