Texturing Fan Art

Hello guys I have a quick question about Texturing.

So I'm modeling a Blizzard character from concept Art. I would like to know if it's ok to use the concept as a base texture and then from there just paint on top of it.

I thought about doing it this way because that's how most of the texture Artist do it in Production to save time.

Is that cheating???


Thanks!

If it is a fan art and you won't sell to anyone.. I don't see where is the problem.

I think it would be fine, but if its for practice I think you would get more out of it from texturing it completely - equally if you put it in your portfolio you can say you painted it from scratch

thank you guys!

It is for a portfolio piece as a fan art

If it's for your portfolio I would recommend you don't do that.

Yeah, sorry, but you can't do that for a folio piece, since people will assume that you did the entire piece or worked for Blizzard, which is a no-no.
