Jurian,
You can use the pictures; however, we would like to get some credit for them. Placing a link to our web site would be appropriate.

Subject: pictures on website.
hello,
i have a question about the pictures on your website. A friend of mine is building his own role playing game and i was wondering if i could use some of the pictures that are on your webiste (i'll change the background to black) so they can be processed in the game.
i do not exactly know how everything goes with copyright and stuff for these pictures and since they look really great i thought i'll ask your permission before i use them.
Jurian Zaat.
it allready shows i wasn't planning on editing much  and i never said i created em all from scratch. If i gave you that impression then i apologise cuz it never was my intention

most are a diff background and some glow changes indeed :d so that's why i don't know if they are copyrighted or not
edit: like i said before i have permission of the site owners (got an e-mail of em) to use em aslong as we put a link to their site on em so that's why i wonder if i should send em in or not lol
is jlh gonna put the link up or aren't they under copyright law no more since they are not exactly the same?

You haven't changed anything on the *items*. The only difference is the glow, and the background has been made black. Putting 5 yellow dots in the upperleft corner would make the same difference to the items, but those 5 dots wouldn't remove the copyright, right?

In the first post you did write that "you've made some item pics for nightmist", and not once did you mention anything about them coming from another site.
So yes, I'll have to say that you gave everyone the impression that the pics was yours (at least until I looked at them, it's hard to make pics looking that realistic  , and I doubt it's even wanted).

well then it was my bad i didn't want ppl to think i created all but i do not get that last thing where you say you doubt its wanted. Realistic pics not wanted?
if that's what you mean here's my e-mail to jlh
hey dude,
i saw there are some new pics in the game and they are cool but i thought i'l lsend you some other pics 
so i start with just one pic for the spiked helmet because i do not know how it exactly works with copyrighted stuff and all.
so this e-mail includes the original pic, the pic i made of it (i did not know the file format you needed so it;s in jpg and bmp.
and i will also include a link to the site where i found the original pic (they have a load of cool pics i'll be willing to edit for the game)
i do like the pic but it might be too realistic for the game so let me know if you want me to edit more pics or if that would be a waste of time :p
greetz,
Jurian Zaat a.k.a the_third_thief/wonderful_nightmare
i send the link in a second e-mail i forgot to write it in the first :d
so i can't say i disagree with you on anything
edit: jlh never replied on this e-mail so i continued working on the other pics :d

I don't know what your point was with showing us the e-mail, but anyways..
I'm not sure about everyone else's opinion, but at least I don't want portraits, monsters and items in this game to look like photos (don't take this a sarcasm or anything, I'm just trying to express myself ). And, according to the current portrait and monster pics, it looks like I'm not the only one thinking like this. I'm sure that if those who's made those pics wanted them to look more 'realistic', it wouldn't be too hard to make them that way (knowing that by my own experience).

If nightmist went pay to play, i'm sure this medieval company would want more than a link (which i won't do anyway) to their site, since nightmist would be making money using their material, so they would have rights to sue me. This is a bad thing, so won't happen, as there is no point copying their library of pics to then remove them all at a later date when proper free pics are available that won't get me sued.

The picture of the Gnoll (last I saw) was a direct copy from the AD&D 2nd Ed. Monster Manual. (if you weren't aware)
