EDIT 1
==============
I had a look, and it seems that you need to login with either Facebook, or Google or their Pixiv account; now, that's the problem. You need to have a look if there is some API available, if there is, it MUST be supporting OAuth or any other hand-to-hand authentication scheme, if there is, you can easily implement it; should you have any difficulties, we're here to your rescue!
Have a look, I searched one for you: https://pixivapi.codeplex.com/ Seems promising!

Hey!
Now, the 403 message can be in a number of situations, including, but not limited to an authentication denied response. To have a deeper look, you can have a look at the API docs, if they have a docset.
Considering the fact that it uses the standard one-to-one protocol for authentication, the problem is that the headers your WebRequest is passing are incorrect, or can't store the information needed to process the request (Session Cookies, etc).
One thing you CAN do is to have a look at the API docs, I had a look at the website, it's Japanese and I really don't speak it, so no luck for me. However, what you can do, is post a little edit about the request you're making; as any help, we may give, at this point, will be redundant.
If you can post the code, I should be able to re-wire it for you!
