Woah. Woah. Let's keep this thread friendly, alright guys? I wouldn't want to see this get locked due to members actin' brash towards each other.
Ms. Mcgee, if my knowledge is precise, it's alright to use bases and trace over/base yer own artwork off of them (as long as they don't belong to a particular artist who hasn't given ye' permission to use it). However, like madam Rustys has stated, it'd be good to give credit to the original base just to stay on the safe side.
Aside from that, yer artwork is beautiful ma'am and when those requests are open again, count me in!
