No, I do not mind. If you put your works for public download, common courtesy would be to reference this thread or otherwise mention that the work was not entirely your own, but I'm not too tight assed about things like this, especially as all I did was interpolated an already existing design to higher resolution... Also, I think if you do a sufficient amount of work with the source to fit it into your image, you create something new, and it falls into fair use category and personally I think it's sufficient if you reference the source, if the creator of the source didn't specifically state that you should ask before using his work...
The reason you should mention using someone else's work as a source is that if you don't, you'll have the off chance of looking like an ass to anyone who realizes where the source is from. And seeing how this is
Sparta internets, there will be those people... Personally it matters little to me whether or not someone knows which nickname is responsible for creating what.
