Sometimes, if they don't mind.

Those tongues were done pretty well. How'd you pull them off?

Clone stamp and distort. It helps when they are already sticking it out.

You need to give credit to all the people you have modified and give links to their pages and inform them that you are using their likeliness.

Modifying someones personal pictures without permission is against the TOS and AUP.

well on the plus side he said they didnt mind. so if he just leaves the image up, but edits the submission info to state that permission then its all good right?

yup but he has to include links to who they are and everything... including on his past submissions.

couldnt posting links to peoples personal profiles lead to bad things like stalking? what about submitting to a mod for approval? i'd hate to see his models get scared off if we have any creppy people on here...
just an idea.
oh, and btw, awesome photomanip, tongues are tough, i never can do those right...

Retroactive links is a tall order. I don't exactly keep lists of where I get these pictures, or who they are.

Pinkuh,

I've made this a bit confusing. Let me clarify. I have not used any pictures from facebook, what I was trying to get across to horsedreamer is that I use pics from online galleries, mostly deviantart, but I've used pictures from people's personal galleries when they have requested it. For example, Wanttotransform asked me to photoshop a picture from his gallery. In all cases I have complied with the rules of that artist or site. In deviantart, this usually requires a note to the artist that I'm using their stock, and a link to the picture. As all the pictures here are cross posted, I've rarely included any links to deviantart or elsewhere as I did not want to run afoul of furaffinity's restrictions on links to external sites. The only times I've not asked for permission for something is when I borrowed a horn or hoof from an animal picture hosted on a public zoo site because a tiny portion of a picture, doctored and edited, falls under fair use provisions.

This is how the AUP reads

You may have followed the rules of other sites... but as of right now you arn't following the rules of Furaffinity. Please rectify this.

2) For You:
Fur Affinity allows users to post works of art created for them (e.g. commissions, gift art, stories, etc.) provided the content of the submission meets the following requirements:

* You must have permission of the original artist to repost their work, with permission stated in each image description. Failure to obtain permission will result in the Submission being removed. Multiple requests for removal by artists citing lack of permission to post will result in action being taken against your account.
* Full disclosure must be given in each image description that the image was not created by you.
* Credit must be given to the original artist on the first line of the Submission’s description, and must be written in the format similar to this one:
“ORIGINAL ARTWORK BY [INSERT ARTIST NAME]”

If the user is a member of FA, the  username function is highly suggested to link to their account. For example, if you are linking to Fender, you would enter  fender

This seems to apply to people who are reposting work that others have done. The work here is my own. Is this passage also meant to require the artist to link to sources? If so, you might want to make that a bit clearer.

After reading over the TOS and AUP briefly, I don't think there's anything wrong here.

With the TOS, you could go by the "By you, For you" policy, claiming that the original 'artists' (aka photographers) would have to complain to the admin in order to get the picture taken down.

In the AUP, the concept of a "Complete" photomorph is so murky, including the description, that it's impossible to really get in trouble for anything beyond a simple hue change. I don't know these people, and I probably wouldn't recognize them by this photomorphed picture if I did know them.

Stop trying to force the artist to link to people who would probably prefer to stay anonymous.

Nice job with the photomorph, Iron. I really like how you lengthened the tongues. Don't feel too bad about the way the expressions look (the sheepy one looking dumb); it's always good to have some irony in your pics.

Not too bad. I like the long tongues, giving me ideas ;) Don't show this to girls, those two look really stupid if you ask me :P

HAHAHA. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

you know it technically isn't them, because they don't actually look like that in the real world. lol

That's cool :)
Good Photo editing :D

hahaha! excelent job!!

this is kewl yet creepy all at the same time...i love that mix awsome job

Nice job on their tongues!
