Kisumi is basically my internet persona. Since most of the stuff I do on the internet is RP, she's also my RP character! RP elements may bleed into non-RP things, such as comments and general speech style, also how to refer to myself. Whenever I say "me" I'm generally referring to Kisumi... who is me. That being said, I don't take RP drama or actions as an insult to me as a person! I love my RP character, so all my internet stuff that's not playing her, is dedicated to something about her. For the longest time my goal has been to find pictures of Kisumi on the internet.
With so many specific criteria for my character to meet, I sort of gave up. I would get a commission, but various things prevent that. At a loss of what to do to get pictures of my prized foxgirl, I turned to editing pictures that exist. I use photoshop to turn pictures into kisumi. The least I've done is change eye color, the most? Fully redoing hair, eyes and facial features. Also the adding of a fang in an open mouth, the removal of clothes in some places while adding in others, removing image elements, drawing in fox ears and a tail, and drawing a collar from scratch.
I don't do this as a claim to fame, to show off or to try and pass it off as my own work, but just because I want pictures of Kisumi! If I can't find or get them made, then dammit I'm making them! That said, if somehow the original artist finds one of my "kisumifications" and wants me to remove it from teh interwebs, I will without hesitation. Like I said, I just make them to have them, not because I want to pass them off as mine. I never claim they're mine, and whenever possible, I give credit to the source. I can't post them on here because... well, obviously, it's not my art. How ever much I may modify, I didn't originally draw them, and I have no right to upload them on a site for your own work.
