Question for CC Makers

[strangetomato]

For those of you who've made wall hanging recolours from an artist or designers work (either in a simlish version or as-is), do you generally ask permission to use their artwork? Or do most people use the images without contacting the original creator of the image? I have a little something I'd like to make based on someone else's work, so I'd like to know what others do in this situation. I feel like asking would be best, but then I'm sort of afraid they'll just say no.

Agree with the others that asking is best, but if it's really just a piece you're going to use for yourself and not share? Eh.... it's probably okay to not say anything. If you're ever going to show it off publicly then the least you can do is give credit and link back to the original artist.

If it's a piece of CC you plan on sharing with the comm than I would almost definitely ask.
