In Pixiv, you can leave a comment on any fan-art. There is also an option to
leave a sticker for comment. They include an elephant, fox (?), girls, and
skull.

[Here is a fan-art example from one of those
stickers](http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=42168307).
I've tried to google the tag but couldn't find anything.

I'm asking about all the stickers - elephant, fox (?), girls, and skull - ,
but more specifically, the one for [these girls
above](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FswIi.jpg). Do these stickers come from an
anime? If so, which one? If they are original characters, do they have any
names?

pixiv
Do these comment stickers from Pixiv come from anime?


My guess is that the stickers do not come from anime, although I agree they
certainly have an anime "feel". A professional site would be very foolish to
use copyrighted material without permission.

Possible sources for the artwork would be from their own staff (including
contractors and subscribers), public domain image repositories, and sites such
as [Deviant Art](https://www.deviantart.com/). For the latter, they would need
permission from the individual artists, but many of them would be happy to
give it in exchange for credit somewhere at the Pixiv site.

**They are original characters for pixiv, not from any anime.**

Based from the [pixiv encyclopedia about pixiv stamp (in
Japanese)](http://dic.pixiv.net/a/pixiv%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%B3%E3%83%97),
their names are:

>   * ハクゾウ（白い象の様な生き物）  
>  _Hakuzou_ (White elephant-y looking creature)
>
>   * キツネ（キツネの様な生き物）  
>  _Kitsune_ (Fox-y looking creature)
>
>   * 萌え娘（各人物）  
>  _Moe musume_ (Persons)
>
>   * どくろちゃん（ドクロに角が生えたキャラ）  
>  _Dokuro-chan_ (A skull with horn)
>
>

The encyclopedia entry for [_moe musume_ (in
Japanese)](http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E8%90%8C%E3%81%88%E5%A8%98) also mentions 4
characters, but they are nameless:

**However, pixiv had a collaboration with pixiv's own ongoing manga _Gaikotsu
Shotenin Honda-san_** which got adapted into an anime series, by releasing 10
time-limited stickers that can be used until January 31, 2019.
