Hi there, we know you've credited the artists you took the pictures from, and that's fine for the second Instagram account, but unless you can provide proof that you have permission from the first Instagram account from both the artist and the person who commissioned the works provided we'll have to disqualify your project. 

as long as the images were posted in a public domain  , and the game its used in does not use it commercially,  it should be fine to use it , as specified in instagram EULA. 

Still ill look into the matter and see if i can fetch permissions , otherwise ill replace the art 

This is incorrect, those images were posted in public domain, but Instagram EULA does not allow use of other people's posted content freely. It is allowed under exceptions or limitations to copyright and related rights under applicable law, as in the people who have posted them are inherently the copyright owners. It is copyright infringement to copy, distribute, or create new works based on their works without permission from them, which the second Instagram has explicitly allowed but the first did not. 

Thank you very much ! , I have already acknowledged this issue and replaced the art with more suitable one , and in the process of replacing them from the game files .

I hope that you go through the game I made ! 

And my sincere apologies for any confusion caused
