IIRC any representation of someone "looking under 18" is potentially illegal. That also includes fully clothed pictures. It is effectively a thought crime when the prosecution is based on what they think you "saw" in an apparently innocent picture.

The UK police have even successfully prosecuted someone for watching a "certified over 18" web site - because one of the people "looked under 18". It took a long and costly appeal process to get the conviction overturned.
