Image Response is a feature that can be used to respond to a specific work.
You can post a work as an Image Response to another work on pixiv, and this will link back to the original work you're responding to.
It can be used as a way to link the creators and everyone else for projects like "I tried drawing this", when a specific work inspired the image response.
For Illustrations and Manga
How to send an Image Response
