Okay, I misunderstood then. I though he was saying it is only a derivative if you actually edit the tracing. I didn't at all mean to say that inspiration was unallowed. I guess the line between derivative and inspiration is quite fuzzy.
When you trace something, you're still creating an image based off of something. A derivative, by definition, is a piece of art with heavy influence or similarity to existing art, to the point of lacking creativity. Tracing is still trying to imitate the image, and you can't get any more similar than that.
All you're doing by customizing a traced image is making attempting to cover up the fact that you copied someone's work, whether for reasons of practice, innocence, or intentional deception.
Tracing MedicineStorm's avatar would be a derivative from the start.
Can you bump Lowpoly Dummy Character(10 Animations)? I've added several animations since it was submitted.
Feel free to use any art from OpenGameArt. Just make sure you abide by the posted license.
Wouldn't a tileset be considered 2D art, not a texture?You don't need to put hashtags in front of your tags on OpenGameArt.
Hahaha that is pretty funny looking! Good work!
Thank you!
Thank you.
Nice!

I disagree, Ragnar.
