Phew. Small update. This "Faces" module takes ALOT more time then i previously expected.
Because, you know, its not just about cropping and resizing images, but looking for the one that matches the character. Plus, they all have to be in, more or less, similiar art style.
AND THERES SHITLOAD OF THEM @_@
So far, 50 done. Thru Candlekeep, Beregorst, Half of Nashkel and a huge part of the Wildness.
What needs to be done: More Nashkel, the rest of Wildness, Cloakwood, Baldurs Gate, TotSC and of course Black Pit!
Sorry for the delay. Working as fast as i can.
Heres the current first 50 images. Hope you like it.
Oh and if you want to play a game - try and gues what portrait is who!

Some news...
Module 1-10 and 12 FINISHED
Module 13 extended (Theres currently total of 78 new NPC faces)
Module 11, 14 and 15 put ON HOLD due to little feedback...
Heres a screenshot of "Faces" Module in action. You cant tell this from just looking at the picture but it inpacts the game gameplay greatly.

I kinda agree with Alma -- I can see Arta's Sarevok we released as a BG mod and I don't think anyone asked us. I kinda like the idea of the mod, but the thing is that indeed it's like taking someone's work and then posting in under your name... You also tell people not to include the mod in other places while that's exactly what you did with portrait form my and Arta's mod.
It's not like I'm mad or something, just... you know...
...also calling someone close minded because she note that you use someone's work without giving credits isn't cool.

And ill remove it.

Well, I am just the coder so I would rather Arta decide. I'll just poke her to check the thread. But really, there are people who would be glad to contribute etc so asking them would be nice. Many artists would agree since that's the way their work becomes more recognised.
cheers

I didnt know it was Arta works. And i am terribly sorry for that.
Tell me which graphics are yours and ill add you to the credits.
Just shame you havent told that from the beggining. I would instalty react and fix it.
That would do alot better then calling me a thief.
In case somebody is interested: here the exact amount of Faces MOD downloads and how much it earned me. In period of 2 months. Screenshot directly from my adf.ly account
Hah. Its even less then i though.

Taking art from the internet without permission and then redistributing it is a direct violation of copyright law. That makes it theft by definition. "It takes too long to figure out who the artists are and then contact them" isn't much of an excuse in this situation, and verbally attacking anyone who complains about this is even more unsavory.
It was never Lava and Arta's responsibility to contact you to ask you to take down their work or credit them. It was yours to ensure that this situation never arose in the first place.

Because law is all that matters right?
I wasnt attacking, i was defending myself.
I dont know how anybody could mix those two.
And and i dont know in what crazy place you live in, but in my country - its against the law only when you benefit from it. Otherwise giants such as e.g YouTube couldnt exist.

Entities like Youtube are protected by something called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the US, though other WIPO countries probably have similar provisions. Because it's practically impossible for them to monitor everything that goes up on their site, they're safe as long as they honor whatever take-down notices they get from companies in a timely process. And I would imagine that their lawyers handle such requests with grace.
What I personally take issue with is comments like this:
If i in fact used her artwork - then instead of playing smart pants - just tell me which one is her. And ill remove it.
Simple as this. And polite.
Lava was actually being pretty gentle, and you resorted to name calling instead of graciously offering to rectify the problem. I get that you're upset, but you're not making the situation any better by reacting so defensively.

Thread locked.
As has been pointed out in the thread, copyright violations/art theft don't just break our forum rules, it's also illegal.
