Best Answer

Unauthorized use or redistribution of artwork, as well as copying, tracing, altering, or heavily referencing without permission is considered art theft. You and/or your guardians can be sued for plaigerism and/or copyright infringement. Do not assume that little changes will make it all yours and that you will not be held responsible. Re-using the exact piece as-is, such as for online role-playing, even if you do not claim it is your own, is unlawful redistribution. ALWAYS ASK THE ARTIST.
