I've taken a photo in a themeparc (Efteling - Holland) of their little mermaid statue. I've traced the photo for practice on my new Wacom pen tablet. But now I've been working on it and I feel it's more and more becoming design worthy. I put it up for critique and made a blog, but I'm hesitating if I should sub...

Now I'm wondering if I can actually sub it, or is that copyright infringement? The little mermaid fairytale can be used of course, and I made the photo myself. But the statue is still recognizable as that particular one. Does anyone know this?

it would probably be best to start from scratch and draw your own awesome mermaid, for all kinds of reasons. you can do it!

Thanks for the kind words, spacesick. I hope I can, it's just so hard... But I am getting the hang of it more and more every day now. I guess I've practiced enough, it's time for the real work. But any comments on the mermaid (my previous blog) are still very very welcome. Oh, and the colors are all mine, by the way ;)

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.
