Not really, Zophia. It is tablet art but MsPaint is the only working programme I have. If I had the time it would probably be a little better, but I did not.

Ah, tablet helps a lot. :) *hugs my own*
It's still pretty nice, and maybe you'll have better time in the next round.

Hey jpx111, awesome job! Unfortunately though, you cannot use that render in your submitted image unless you have explicit permission from the creator, as stated on the render page:
"DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE THIS RENDER WITHOUT EXPLICIT PERMISSION FROM THE USER - All renders in this site are property of their respective owner, any redistribution without permission of the owner is not allowed. All the rest © 2004-2008 Planet Renders."

Sorry, but we are very strict with the copyright rules.

Carlie, he is not redistributing the render, redistributing the render is like putting it on forums, for people to use, in like signatures, but he just used it in his signature.

Miniman you just contradicted yourself there.Anyways I kinda knew Carlie would say something like that.Arax_Nisanu,and myself also had submissions rejected because of that rule.Anyways This is getting to be quite an interesting contest.

On page 99, John said this about the same situation:

Rendered images are not exempt from copyright law.  Rendering is a method; a way of manipulating one piece of data into another.  By Fair-Use law any piece of work used in another work without permission from the original copyright holder is subject to copyright law where applicable, more specifically under the DMCA.

Also, any work not entered directly into the US Library of Congress is also subject to automatic copyright once published.  So even if the bearer does not own a direct copyright it may still be protected but not as unquestionable primary evidence.

What you are arguing is encapsulation, which is a body of work placed in another body of work in order to create something different.  Sadly, this does not fall under fair use.  I can't make a mixtape and sell it in a store, and the same goes for this situation.

Just by posting in in the forums, whether it is for further use or not, it is a redistribution.
