I have been using skins made here for a while, and I just decided to attempt to make a skin on my own, being that I'm pretty handy with photoshop and whatnot myself :D, and I just have one question.

I was planning on making a skin based on Gandalf, and I was wondering if it would be against some rule or guideline to use either screens taken by myself or screens released by Turbine to add to my skin. Another idea I had came to me when looking at some paintings done by John Howe and Alan Lee, and I thought to use those as well, but I'm pretty sure some copyright law somewhere would prohibit that, but I'm just covering my bases here.

Thanks.

You're fine,

As long as you're not trying to sell it.

Although it wouldn't hurt to try and adjust the images a little to make them you're own, or for the continuity of the entire UI.

You can't get sued, if that's what you are worried about. But they may bitch and moan about it. But then again people tend to do that about everything anyway. :)

No, I didn't. I made it myself. :D

Turbine's graphic sigs don't give your actual character's image or their surname and are too large.

Should be cool if you have coffee :)

Note: This is the UI skinners forums, we like to mess around in photshop :)
