Okay, posting this here both for posterity, and as a bookmark to make looking this back up easier in the future if I ever want to continue this journey.
The version with 5 characters is usually seen floating around on the internet (with horrible compression) either with or without a game screenshot attached.
ENIOR got wind of this and was apparently not amused by these edits and reached out to NGA.cn and asked people to stop spreading it.
[Second Pass, Second Change Related] Pic about Huang sticking a chainsaw out of Serena's crotch (Sehwanti)
Hi everyone, I'm the original author of this image ..... .lofter id: ENIOR Link to work: https://enior.lofter.com/post/1e78f3cc_1c874d701 Recently I saw myself in a b-site video being second passed and second altered with a Wendy added to the back of the picture ....... I heard that the source is from nga, and it is said to have been spread far and wide ...... Therefore come to make the following statement: This figure is forbidden to be second-passed and second-altered, privately altered to play can be, released on public platforms must indicate the original author and the original picture. Especially video clips, please get authorization from myself. Although Sai Huanti is very cute, this picture was originally created for the Crisis Contract, to record the golden partners who brought me through the contract, and there is no Wendy's existence, and I hope you can respect my original intention!
This news traveled back down to 团子喵Neko (who now goes by the name 团子喵Koneko) and they also took down their original post and posted an apology message with a link to the above NGA.cn post.
DeepL: # Tomorrow's Ark # before that stacked Tomorrow's Ark homoerotic secondary creation figure due to contact not the original author authorization, although in the public platform released when the source and the original author, but I think it is always not very good, so the first temporary deleted, want to see the small partners can private me!
I first saw this picture in the b station uploader katya's video, suddenly came up with a picture in my mind before I put pen to paper, in fact I didn't expect you guys to be so positive [knee] again, I apologize for my unauthorized processing, as well as I'd like to say that we all like this game because of the picture of a fun ~! Lastly, I'll post a link to the original webpage 🔗 Webpage Link
Because of the meme potential of this image, besides being reposted absolutely everywhere, it's occasionally used on BiliBili as a video thumbnail. BiliBili: 赛煌蒂组合（不要把什么都从塞妈后面往前伸啊喂！）
Here too, you see people asking in the comments to be aware of this situation
那个，封面原作者说不允许对她的画进行二创(｀・ω・´)，虽然封面不是你画的，但还是建议不要用了
DeepL: That, the original author of the cover said that it's not allowed to second-create her drawings (｀・ω・´), and even though you didn't draw the cover, it's still recommended not to use it
The author of Sehuang's sand sculpture is this great, old Ford@Enior Everyone go follow and support the original author https://enior.lofter.com
However, there is a thing that must be said to everyone, that is, Sehwanti's picture, is someone to take the author's original picture of the product of secondary modification, greatly personally do not want to have a secondary modification, even if you really want to also please first strive to get the consent. But directly take the original use, greatly is not to do restrictions, but can not be modified! Hope to know
Now, because both the beginning and the end of this image chain have been deleted, and because NGA.ch is even harder to get into than Weibo for a foreigner as me, the trail ends here.
Message to future me or anyone who wants to dig further: Good luck.
