wondering legality of my avatar...

Postby Radio_jalopiE » Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:20 pm

while it is a thumbnail of copyrighted (presumably) photo of a trademarked character, it is just an avatar...or is it? so...I was wonder what the general frown-upon-factor might be for having an avatar such as the one I have, not to mention on a board such as this. anybody have any thoughts?
or what might be the frown-upon-factor of making a drawing of this tiny scene and using that instead?

or should I not even worry about it...

I vote the latter. You're thinking too much about it. I daresay your copyright infringement is waaaay too small for either DC comics or Adam West to get litigious about.
Visit my Sketch-blog or my web site (or not, if you don't feel like it.)

As long as it doesn't have anything that breaks this board's rules, we don't care what your avatar is.

you would helix. you might not remember, but I sure've noticed I've left a bad taste in your mouth where ever I've popped up.

thanks for the replies though.

edit:
oh, and I was a little more concerned about the public image of using a copyrighted image amongst other artists, but it looks like my fears were misplaced.
