Edit 2009-05-27: I thought I should try to give credit for the above. I found it posted in a recent discussion at dragonsfoot. Now I don’t know who to blame for the “inspirational poster”, but I think that the artist responsible for the Orc Chick herself is Ursula Vernon. I couldn’t find this specific image anywhere, but Ursula has painted the same “model” on Elfwood (warning: NSFW) and I reckon they match. As per the FAQ giving permission to post images to the net, I hereby give credit to the appropriate recipient!

I was doing a search for an image I might be able to use as a base for a logo. Because I wanted to fiddle with it and then reuse it, I needed it to be licenced appropriately.
So I went to [Creative Commons][2] and did a search, and found this little beauty:
I can really see this working well, and fortunately for me, the artist (the very kind [kaet44 on flickr][1]) has licenced it under a [Creative Commons licence][3] which allows me to modify it as I see fit, distribute it and even use it for commercial purposes. Just so long as I give credit where it is due, and here I am: kaet44 did it, and I offer thanks for it!
While I was there, I also saw this fascinating work and thought I would share it here:
By the way, as I have said [elsewhere][4], all of my text here (at least anything that is my original work) can be considered under a [similar licence][5]. The only additional condition I have added is the need to “share-alike”. That is, any derivative work needs to be licenced under the same licence. *If you care!*
