The Italian version would indicate the artist if it weren't Osamu Tezuka.
Using the artwork as an indirect reference is borderline derivative. Could go either way. I'd say best not to use it unless you're able to remake the asset without using any references.
Usage in your own game is a bit different from submission on OGA. Since you're talking about the Summer Art Challenge, I'll assume your interest is predominantly about submtting on OGA:
^ Pretty much what they said; Should be fine, but it depends on how you made the more specific sprites, like that astronaught face. More on that below.
Using the same/similar color palette is fine. That won't make it a derivative. Palettes can't be copyrighted.
You'll want to avoid labelling your asset pack with the Manga title or author name. "The Crater by Osamu Tezuka Asset pack!" could invite Trademark issues and implies endorsement by the manga author that he has not given. Saying it's "inspired 'The Crater' manga" is fine, though.
How was your astronaut character and astronaut face created? Did you copy/scan the manga and then alter the image? Did you trace any part of the manga art to get the right shape and proportion? What parts of the manga, if any, did you use as a base or guide?
I would say, in this case, "Adobe says" is actually sufficient. They are publicly asserting (which makes them legally liable) that all assets used to train Firefly are correctly licensed/attributed already or they posess all relevant rights.

Done.
Oh, dang. I totally missed that. Yeah, unless Firefly has a non-non-commercial option, that won't do.
I'm open to hearing arguments to the contrary, but barring that, yeah. :)EDIT: missed the fact that Firefly output is (currently) non-commercial only. Until that changes, we can't host Firefly-generated assets.

Let me know if you had something more specific in mind. I'm happy to change it again if you want.
You got it! :)
Are you simplebuff, LSH?
^^Agreed. Thus the "demonstrably". Links to Adobe Firefly dataset information?
