Just curious if there is any policy about using someone else's art work without their permission? I have been making sigs, avatars, profile pics, you name it, for people for awhile. And i give them specific permission to use it for whatever that person would like. The user known as GB3Must_Be_Done has taken my work from an existing avatar and manipulated it for his own. I am not really angry about it, I just don't like my work being tampered with in that aspect. So anyways, is there any policies about artwork that prohibits use, unless there is permission granted?

There is a rule in the Fan Projects board that reads as follows…
My first instinct is that it should apply here.
It's especially annoying in this case as you've been more than generous with providing images for the members of this board, and might very well have provided him a totally original avatar image if he'd just asked.
You do great work, by the way, Sparks
Fan Art Rules
1. Artwork MUST be original, any material used without the explicit consent of the artist will be deemed a theft, and will be taken down.

Well, if he can't or doesn't use his PM, maybe he'll see this thread.

I've had stuff of mine altered, too. From one artist to another, JohnnySparks, I feel the same way.
