    @procyonlotor Great job on your exercises, John. And I love the fantasy vehicle you’ve chosen. That will be super impressive! You’ve earned an A this week 👍

    As for legality, it’s perfectly fine to use this art the way you are as far as I can tell. *AS I UNDERSTAND THE LAW* copyright holders are primarily concerned with whether or not you’re making money with their copyrighted material. If you’re not making money off the copyright holder’s property and you’re crediting them as the owner/creator, what possible legal issue is there? In most cases it’s essentially free advertising for them.

    When in doubt ask yourself A) Am I trying to make money with someone else’s work and B) am I crediting the owner/creator? If the answer to A is “No” and the answer to B is “Yes” that should be completely legal.

    That said, I’m very open to other points of views/interpretations of the law. I think we all want to be above reproach here.
