Ok so since I was not required to attribute (according to their license), I can just remove them as a source in these credits right?
I thought that the license terms were really clear on the Pixabay website, that I could not have to attribute it at all (but I did so as a courtesy), and that I could use it for commercial and non-commercial use. In this case, it's a non-commercial use.
This totally fits those licensing terms, and I think you're just splitting hairs here and being a little too extreme this time. "Oh shit, better not use free to use silhoettes as clip art in another piece of art".
Sorry I wont be removing my modified sillhouettes, I did make them (they are modified), and I was not required to attribute.
I know Eric, I've donated to him in the past, and he said it's fine as long as I give credit in the description. Share alike means that whoever uses this has to give him credit too for the textures. We're all good. It's one of the reasons I like using his textures (because I know it's fine).
I think what he means by that statement is a scenario in which I make my game, I don't credit him except on my website separately, or something like that.
The work was pretty recent (been working on it for 2 weeks, even though the images might have been uploaded years ago). Man seems like virtually nothing is ok unless you literally draw it pixel by pixel, even if it's allowed for commercial use when I'm not actually trying to sell it or anything.
I feel like a criminal if I'm simply inspired by something and try to modify it. I can totally see why there's not enough art out there with so much red tape in the way.
Can I change the license on it to something else in order for this to work out? I just want as little hassle as possible while able to share the art.
But again the license says that I don't have to give credit at all. So is it ok if I just take the credits away and then there's no way anybody would know it came from Pixabay? I wasn't even required to give credit in the first place and I credited it as a courtesy...but if I go above and beyond to explain and show all the sources that I was inspired from and modified from, I get punished.
Making this piece of art should be 100% ok. I didn't even do straight rips either, I modified. If I'm not required to give credit, then how am I even being restricted by their license in this way? Also this only applies to some of the prison graffiti in the upper left corner, the rest was done pixel by pixel. Seems like I can't win no matter what I do, even if I follow all the rules.
Yeah I understand. You guys are very thourough (and it makes sense for running a site like this), but still kind of gets under my skin sometimes. I can live with it though. Thanks. I'm trying to be a good boy!
If you're afraid of the Lizards though I can swap them out for something else. But using images distributed by the federal government is totally allowed and it's not subject to copyright.
In general, images created by U.S. government agencies are not covered by copyright because federal law removes copyright protection from works of the U.S. government.
In this case the US National Parks service. Look it up for yourself. I got nothing to hide. I know that everything I post is automatically met with suspicion, but this is totally allowed.

You guys really suck on this one...
Here's the screenshot as well from Eric.
I edited it from a source which does not require attribution. I took it from a rectangular map and then made it into a sphere/globe.
I did edit that. Sorry I copy and paste my copyright descriptions from previous uploads for the sake of speed and forgot that little bit. Thanks.
Oh wait, looks like the edit didn't take...Just fixed.

Thank you. It's a gradual process, just trying to make it better and better over time. No rush.
