fwiw and iirc her real name is not Sarah Andersen. Also there can be a chance OP found this image uncredited.

But yup, if it was credited and OP deliberately erased and ommited it, won't be cool

LadyButterfly generally always has artists credit left in the photo if it was there, I don't believe that they would've removed it

Fair enough, because it happened to me once - found a funny comic strip in FB or something and thought "this is great, I'll share this on Reddit" so fired up GIMP, translated it, credited the place I got it from and posted - but not long someone let the actual author of the comic to know and they commented something among the lines of "yeah, I was who actually did this, a bit sad that they're taking out my name but it's great it makes people laugh", and then the other people torched me. Fortunately I still had opened the place I got it in the first place and explained to them that I just translated it in a hurry and assumed the original author was the place I found it

I think they removed the watermark too (not sure tho, but usually Sarah Andreson leave their signature)

She usually does. But in this particular case:

  1. I couldn't find this colourised version on her Tumblr & Insta (only B&W).
  2. She has released a few special occasion colourised comics with no signature.

So I really don't know what's happened here... I'm really hoping it's not an unsanctioned AI colouring job, but an unsigned colour release from her somewhere.

I had a look yesterday and I couldn't find the colored ones with a signature as well. It seems they were a collaboration?

Well they like sniffing, have you tried giving them cocaine?

That's why cats and dogs are enemies one's always high and the other one is a snitch
