<p>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.</p>

<p>Possible sources for the artwork would be from their own staff (including contractors and subscribers), public domain image repositories, and sites such as <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Deviant Art</a>.

<p>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. </p>

<p>I'm asking about all the stickers - elephant, fox (?), girls, and skull - , but more specifically, the one for <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/FswIi.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these girls above</a>. Do these stickers come from an anime? If so, which one? If they are original characters, do they have any names?</p>

with pixiv being a site for creators, I would guess it's artistic work by either its users or staff

I'd say perhaps "anime inspired" but not "from a specific anime."

**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:

>   *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:
