You don't have to read it if you don't want to or if you don't care

So if you didn't know, Elsuper found an image of the Digital X drawing online from a website that said it was a "Hooded Character" from "Fairy Tail" which I watched the show and there's no character who looks like him that uses fire. But if you didn't know I told people that my friend made that drawing because they gave it to me after I asked her if she could draw X. Now I'm going to be honest I believed it was hers too because it looks like her style, she draws a lot of stuff like that and the drawing even looked like it was in her style but now I'm not so sure.

After seeing the post I visited the website and looked at it some more and sent the screenshots to my friend and talked to her about it. Nyan, is what I'll be calling her because I don't want to say her real name without consent and it's her online name, Said that she drew it and if they took it then she didn't care. I didn't get a very good response from her because she was mostly avoiding the question which makes me doubt her but she said she doesn't care about "Her" art being posted online.

Now I'm not saying this as an excuse to say that it was okay with me lying about this even if it wasn't intentional. Just because I was given a lie and I passed it along doesn't mean it was alright. I hate it when people lie to me about unnecessary things so when I do it, even when it's not on purpose I feel really bad, and having my friend lie to me about something so simple instead of just saying "No" to drawing him makes me doubt their words and my trust for them somewhat. Now I don't want you guys feeling bad for me or any of that crap since it's just personal issues with her, but I still feel bad about second degree lying to you guys. I'm not as worried about the drawing being fake as I am about my trust with you guys.

I don't know if you guys will believe me. I don't know if you guys care or not but I do, I don't feel good about this whole thing most likely being a lie. I know some of you might think that I'm just making an excuse or lying again about this and I'm not sure I can say anything that'll convince those who don't believe me. That's alright though, believe what you guys want I'm telling the truth here and I'm not too fond of it either

There's also more evidence that the drawing probably won't be hers. A while back, about 3 years ago Me and my friends, -.Terminated.-, Tsumetai and Nyan with the details me and Matrix came up with 2 years prior before he moved somewhere else because of an accident, made the concept design for X because he was going to be apart of the Sono Dimension as a villain because DBL destroyed his home.

The design is much different from the drawing given to me as you can see here: 9zwtat.jpg (click to show)
{Ew my old art style I'm killing myself-}. The original design has more Spiky and longer hair like many of the Sono Dimension inhabitants. He also has a cloak that isn't a hooded one with sleeves that's supposed to be black. He has a mechanical eye and arm from the fight at Xylus that he was originally supposed to be in the story but I changed it to fit the digital drawing design. And as you can see he wears armor unlike the black clothing he has now. These changes which usually would be implemented in a requested drawing so I believe she just found a similar drawing to pretend that she drew it instead of actually doing it in the first place for some reason

All in all what in saying is that I don't expect forgiveness for second degree lying, I just want understanding of the situation. I'm not going to use the digital drawing design anymore because it might not be her's. If you guys won't hate me for it, I'm going to keep the design though with the Clothes and hair etc because I've used it for 2 & 1/2 years now. He's still my character even if he looks like someone else's drawing, he's been changed in design and it's important to his story.

I'm sorry for this entire situation, it's stupid and I wish I knew about it further before
