You referenced a screenshot of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
The following is not to be rude, but to keep you from being told this in the future by someone who will not put it kindly:
When you directly reference an existing artwork or animation screenshot of any sort, you need to state that you did so in your Artistβs Comments section. You also need to provide a link to the original artwork or screenshot in your Artistβs Comments section. Without doing so, it implies that you claim to have created all that is in your deviation, poses, art style and all. In which case, it is called copyright infringement and plagiarism. When a deviant has a Gallery primarily filled with referenced pieces that do not disclaim the above, at times the moderators will remove said deviations from the website and sometimes even your account depending on the depth of the issue.
As I am sure that you are referencing art in order to expand your artistic repertoire, you still need to give credit to the existing work.
