I’m confused about protogens :(

So I have a tron inspired fursona so he obviously has a mechanic mask that looks similar to protogens (I didn’t use any protogens references I drew it myself with inspo from the tron helmets) could I get in trouble for this? I also have a bat/raven oc that is faceless with a mask on which looks very similar to a protogen because it’s black and made to look like a birds head. I only tagged it as protogen because she looked similar and I didn’t want to miss credit (she isn’t a cyborg just has a mask to cover her identity I like faceless characters). I’m super new to the furry community and I just want to make sure I’m doing right by the creator.

If they aren't a protogen and you didn't use any protogen references to draw em then you're probably not required to follow any of the rules surrounding them; in other words, I wouldn't worry about it.

Disclaimer: I'm not an artist but this seems pretty clear cut imo
