When is 'inspiration' copyright theft?

[Ofnuts]

I'm Not a Layer(*), but:

- You have a priori very little public exposure so they won't notice you and your work
- If your work is shown on the web, your host will just get a "take down" notice.
- It all depends on how recognizable the original art is, what ratio of the picture it represents and how much of the picture depends on it.

So, all in all, don't worry.

Edit: (*) I meant "Lawyer" of course. Too many forum posts tend to burn "layer" in your fingers.
