KYSIGN 233 Posted June 6, 2014 I found the source but no vector in sight. It has a large version that could yield a good trace... http://givre.deviantart.com/art/backstabbers-48304169 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GraphxNMore 282 Posted June 8, 2014 Took all of a minute to do this in SCALP. And the clock started when I saved it from this thread. A few more minutes, or another program, and it would've been perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

express2100 154 Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks everyone! I will try to get in touch with the original artist to see if I can purchase it for use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted August 19, 2014 I have sent a few messages to the original artist on deviantart but haven't received a response. I would like the artists permission to use this piece. Any suggestions on how to track down the artist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

express2100 154 Posted August 19, 2014 funny Krow!! You bet your ars they'd find me. It's definitely much harder to do the right thing than it is to take credit for someone else's hard work. But I can sleep at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted August 19, 2014 True. Easier in the Long Run and way more satisfying in the Short to just come up with your own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted August 19, 2014 I have come up with a few of my own versions as well but ....can I do this? can I legally take the idea and put my own touch on it for profit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted August 19, 2014 Firstly, I am not a copyright attorney. However, if you are using your own art and you came up with the concept yourself, and you can prove it with related drawings or proofs, I would not hesitate to pursue it commercially. (who can say where you got the idea... we all get ideas somewhere. Few ideas or concepts are completely original) That all being said, someone with similar work can still come after you. Whether they are successful or not will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, who has the deepest pockets and better attorneys. BTW, this thread would be excellent evidence for the prosecution against you with the original graphic in question. There is the matter of parody, though. Not really applicable in this example but it has to do with using another's work in a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks scarekrow. Brings me back to the question... any suggestions on how I can track down the artist? Is there a resource for looking up copyrighted artwork? I'm leaving this alone until I find out for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
