All I can say is, you know what you did, and no one else does. If you DID base it on his texture then change it. If not, don't. In fact, what was mentioned here is correct, I believe the image has been altered so much that it certainly would NOT be copyright infringement even if you DID use his texture as the base for yours. If you didn't base it on his, stand your ground and leave it the way it is. I personally thing people blow the copyright thing WAY out of scale, but then again, I've never had anything stolen so I wouldn't know how it feels. I just know I wouldn't be anal about it like so many people are. Not that I'm saying anyone is being anal in this particular case, but in general, alot of people go WAY out of control over the issue. Don't start any wars over me saying this. It's just my opinion. But... "Greed is one of the seven deadly sins."
