Ok, just a little question for all the creative people out there...
Is it wrong that I save people's art from here and use them in these ways:
*Black and White prints that people make on here, I print them out and let my kids color them in.
*I've saved a lot of peoples charactor art and messed around with them in microsoft paint, just for fun. I don't ever try to claim them as mine and I don't try to sell them.
The reason I ask is because I don't have enough skill to draw like the people on here. It's not like I can go to the store and pick my kids up a g.i. joe coloring book anymore and they have so much fun coloring them and cutting them out. In my defense, I use Paint on the pictures I save just to see what the charactor would look like in a different colored outfit or with different features.
I've been torn over this for a while. I don't really see how it's any different than using a casted part rather than a real one, for your own personal use. Also, you always see people say,"that's a sweet custom, I'm gonna use that idea".
What do you guys think? I would provide an example of the paint thing, but I am going to p.m. the person that I got it from first and see if they agree to it.
I don't think it's plagiarism because I'm not trying to make gain off it.
Am I a huge jerk face or is this perfectly harmless?
