It doesn’t matter if someone edits those images-they still belong to those creators : )
Re-doing an image won’t make a difference-you could get a completely new one created but please don’t try to get one re-done/re-drawn or whatever you’re planning to do, as that is not fair to the people who made it.
And you shouldn’t freak out just because Episode updates their terms-so does that mean if Episode never updated their terms, you would continue to use stolen images, hmm?
And there is no need to offer friendship to others for helping you out-a simple than you and credit is enough!
Also, since you created this post, it’s best to respond to it-some people may not have Instagram and could not contact you over this.
Am sorry if I come off as rude-that’s not my intention, I want to be helpful.
My advice would be to look for images that you can use freely but give credit to others:
You can find many at pixabay.com
Also, I have a thread where I give links to BGs from amazing people that you can use and give credit to:
And you’ll find many people on the forums willing to help you out and edit BGs/make them.
Good luck with everything!
