I seem to have named it the same name as the one I got of the internet (and edited) And accidently uploaded it, Im sorry all! D:

I'll upload the edited version as soon as I can z3r010, I promise.
Apoligies all,

So what your saying is that you didn't make it, you stole it and adjusted the color then uploaded the original and claimed it as your own work?

In the spirit of honesty. This is an icon from imageres that I metalized and tinted.

If youre wondering about the weird name, its was initionally for my friend on PS3 (Sly55). Im truly sorry for the inconvenience. I named the folder off the internet the same name as this:

I am sorry, ban me if you wish.

i have to confess i also found the scooby doo image on the internet and took out the white background and turned it into an icon for my son,
i hope i havent upset the original artist,
i wouldnt even know where to find it again to give the artist the credit.
i guess these kind of threads are open to abuse, but no malice was intended on my behalf.

Julian I suspect all of us use images from the web. The difference we don't specifically say we drew it. We use them along with our own compostions and original work and get something entirely new. I have made several icons from web images for my own use.
My current Snoopy avatar is from the web and I recolored, cropped, and enhanced it till I liked it, but nowhere will I say I drew it.

i know, most art is 99% inspiration, i just felt i should say that i wasnt claiming the scooby image as my own work .

mind you i think it was probably obvious.

edit, Ps john good detective work on the original source of the ben flemming folders,
last thing you want is other artists claiming plagiarism and giving sevenforums a bad rep.

I use lots of other peoples work, I'm sure most GFXers won't draw everything themselves

Most of us use patterns and textures which aren't ours but you've really got to draw the line when you try and pass it off as your own work.

kado897 · 21 Nov 2011

Most of us aren't artists (Except the GFX team of course) we are mechanics who take others work and mold it to our own needs.

And I thought you worked for Hanna Barbera now I'm disappointed
