As much as I want to believe you, I'm afraid that's not a good proof, salamance king. Those sprites are exactly the same, even though you altered the color, erased some of its parts, and added more red lines. That fact doesn't change.
It would have been better if you made up your own sprite and just keep trying, despite the others criticism. Editing someone else's work only made you seem desperate. Should you have practiced, worked hard on creating an artwork of your own, I'm sure you would have gotten praises, compliments, and maybe a little criticism, but that doesn't hurt. In fact, it helps you be better.
But, if it is true that you did not edit moonlight-chan's sprite, then please forgive my false accusations.
