Hey I have been increasing my digital art skills in hopes of having some good quality work to put with my writing and game module designs, hopefully to enable me to sell them for use with a virtual tabletop. I'm wondering if anyone has any specifics or info on what material from the web can be taken and altered. in particular


1 - For basic textures, say green carpet. if i find a nice texture online that isn't watermarked by anyone and wasn't posted for sale, is that fair game to use in a map without issue? say something like polished steal or rocks?

2 - I know that any pictures of people are off limits but what about buildings? I built one of my maps using screen shots from Google maps to find interesting building shapes. Is that an issue if I wanted to sell the map and it has an image from this source?
