That's a good question, and I appreciate that you're on the ball enough to ask it!

In this case, Usercopyright is appropriate and permissible. I understand the reason you ask, but think of it this way—a painter can't make a painting without brushes, but the resultant work is the the creation of the painter, not the brush. Both of the tools you're using create what they do based on user input, out of—if not an infinite variety—at least a substantial variety of options. For me, that's what distinguishes this from, say, the character creation screen in The Old Republic, which has a comparatively minimal number of options. Also (and critically), the TOR character creation screen exists primarily as a vessel to customize gameplay, rather than to create freestanding works, whereas these tools are the opposite.

That said, for comprehensiveness's sake, there's nothing wrong with having your source be "User-made with this tool and this tool", or something to that effect; that would provide due credit to the work of those sites' creators while still acknowledging that the ultimate product is yours.
