I really suck at drawing, and especially with paint-like softwares. I do basics here and there with paint, but I never managed to understand a thing with photoshop.. Back then, I remember I had a software (fireworks) that could change the hue of a picture (changing the skin color of an already existing picture for example), but that software ended up corrupting my poor laptop So here are my requests! Quote: Goal: I want to change my forum avatar Situation: I have a picture, and I want to use her head because it fits with Saya.. except she doesn't have the right skin color and doesn't have Saya's marks. Request 1: Can someone change the picture for me? Request 2: Can you tell me how to do it -and/or- if there is an easy risk-free.. and free software that can help me to do that sort of stuff -easily-? Meanwhile, here is the picture: ![]() The changes I want to make are --> * Changing her face's skin color to a blue tone that is a bit lighter than her current hair. * Changing her eyes to a purplish crimson color * Changing the color of these ear things to the same color of her blue skin (to make them seem like elf ears) * Add marks on her cheeks ![]() (Marks should be the color of her hair - that picture sucks.. only a reference! |

You're asking people to trace? Have you asked the artist's permission to do this? |

I most definately did not! That character is from a video game called "Record of Agarest Wars". She is called Murmina, and the picture I sent here is the official look of the character In-game. http://agarest.wikia.com/wiki/Murmina That's pretty public domain to me! |

Except it's copyrighted material from a video game and the artist on that received renumeration. You're better off just saying 'draw something like this' than asking for plagiarised work. |

Because I bet the people who drew your avatar required Nintendo's permission to reproduce them? Or when Marcel Duchamp added a moustache on the Mona Lisa and wrote LHOOQ (sounds like "she's hot at the ass" when pronounced in French) asked for permission too? I know the line between plagiarism and legal stuff the like, I even teach the basics to children in school... You can pretty much reproduce everything you want -as long- as you do not make a profit from it and/or hide the fact it was someone else's work to begin with. Also, the moment something becomes public domain, you're pretty much free to go - especially if it's just for a harmless forum avatar.. You technically only need to name the file appropriately to give credit to its owner and you can do what you want as I recall (ModifiedMurmina_AgarestWar_AksysGame.jpg for example) |

Just looking at the Amia portrait pack shows the stance on copying pictures is not that harsh |

It's still rather offensive to any artists out there. Trace it yourself! |

It's not offensive to ask for it... Let me rephrase on Mushi's behalf, so that you copyright-worriers are appeased: "Could an artist please create their own impression of the above, with the mentioned changes?" |

This was done (by a friend). Should have sent a PM now. |

Changing the hue should be fairly easy and there are tutorials also. I could probably give it a try, but I see Tom has already done it? |

A friend of Tom did, thanks a lot to both too! The thread can be locked ^^ PS: To all of you offended people, if you wish to war against copyright issues, I suggest you go flame on the portrait thread instead.. (lol) Or you can always open up a discussion thread somewhere on that subject. |
