Here are two book covers

Original:

The cover @/rrrapmonsterbts made:

This is an ss from her book cover shop

My friend talked with her and these are the replies she gave:

First of all, from where does the popularity question arises? What was the reason for being rude like this? Wasn't she just clarifying why she used the same image?

I am learning how to do such edits and from the image, I can guess the original editor must have taken hours to make the cover perfect. If we open a graphics shop, we use the image of the idol, not the exact complex edits someone has already done. We write a disclaimer that images don't belong to us but that's not "just an image", it's complex editing.

If y'all say that this is plagiarism, then I will tell you some more details.

And yes, I ain't no interested in being someone's tail, I just don't want anyone's 2-3 hours had work be knocked off like this.
