Recolors

I suspect a certain user uploaded several pictures that were simply recolors of official art from a website. I deduced this because of peculiar lapses in the evenness of lines, and the fact that there is a logo and a URL for a possible source site in the corner (as of now, this URL is inaccessible). Also, the style detracts a lot from her usual work.
The five pictures in question seem to be recolors of desktop images of characters from the cartoon Total Drama Island.
Here are three of the images in question:

I apologize if recolors are permitted on the website.

Recolors are permitted only under the very limited circumstances of having actual permission from the original artist (and being able to prove it).

Beyond that, recolors in general are not permitted, [b]especially[/b] recolors based on commercially copyrighted material (such as videogame sprites or screenshots). In many cases the a 'recolor' is obvious enough that the identity and ownership of the original work is not even required and it may be simply deleted on sight.
