Mine is my cat's head put on a drawing of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The crappy color scheme was my own in paint. So, yes, I am ripping off the artist of the t-rex, but I think it's justified because my cat looks really cute on top of that dinosaur.

Im pretty sure there's nothing the mods can do about it, anymore than they could do anything someone else doing a nation about Colonial Louisiana, *shrugs*

If I was any good (or even so-so) at drawing, I would have produced my own flag image. Unfortunately, my drawing skill is so horrible that my artwork turned Medusa to stone, and using some as my flag would irreparably damage the drawing skills of every NSGer who saw it. :(

The trick is to cut/paste from real flags, and modify the color schemes/dimensions, ;)

Unfortunately, (1) it'd still be ripping someone off, and (2) AFAIK no real flags have clearly happy Dragons in them.

Why, sillyhead, just cut and paste a picture of your pet's head onto a dragon's body and you can claim it's an original piece of artwork, like mine!

I think his post is totally relevent.


Technically, we do copyright images from websites and claim them as pictures from our nation. But then again, arent those websites just copyrighting some other copyrighted image copyrighted by some other ripped-off image?



Wha?

Maybe some of you are. I know there are people on here to create their own flags, and I'd like to see you find mine anywhere other than under my own name.

My flag is quite original, so no.

To a point, yeah.

My national leader's picture is a slightly photo-shopped image of John Hurt as Chancellor Sutler from the V for Vendetta film. That's got to be breaking some copyright laws.

... only if we're trying to pass off another's artwork as your own.

in General, most people post pics but rarely, if at all, claim it as their own works.
