Copying art for my personal use?

Sup y'all! I just have a quick question, since I don't want to get into legal troubles for my own amusement. I'm from Germany. I make art, but I never ever take money for it. I dipped my toes into Magic the Gathering alters (r/MTGAltered) and want to build a deck with Nobles and Vampires. What do Nobles and Vampires have? Real fancy shit. In particular all kinds of arts. Now I want to alter the cards to, let's say… The Great Wave of Kanagawa, Red Fuji or Sarumaru Dayu by Hokusai or Impression, Soleil levant by Monet… Or I take a self portrait by Albrecht Dürer and call him a Vampire. Would I get in trouble if the wrong people see it? Probably also have to mention, I would try to paint them myself with a brush, not print them.

Opened a can of coke… like this.

Now I have to grab a glass from the kitchen and I already got seated with a blanket and ice cream…

Go-Shintai of Life's Origin

My first alter and it took me about four hours(?)

Still debating with myself if I should tackle the lights again. Doesn't seem to fit.

Dimension 20 101 - Where to start?

I'm a total beginner to roleplaying games and I actually don't have the time for another hobby! But my brothers can't stop talking about DnD, D20, Critical Role and everything in-between and I guess it's only logical to at least give it a try and watch something while idk, playing games, painting or waiting for my homemade bread to come out of the oven…?

But where do I start!? There are 24!! series in my Dropout subscription and truly don't know what to expect. I always loved watching little snippets of Cyberpunk Red, but there's only DnD on Dropout, I guess? I LOVED watching On A Bus, but it's absolutely not what to expect from the rest, I'm very certain. I don't know why, but Cloudward seems fun, just from the logo?

Let me know what YOU GUYS think where to start with D20. What's your favourite season so far? Just sell me on something and I'll watch it.

Finished Guilliman of the Ultramarines. I hate it. :')

This project was pure horrors. I had to strip all the paint from the owner beforehand, there were really weird things underneath, the mini wasn't assembled right and I had to model his entire right arm from scratch. All that and I couldn't even make a decent photo afterwards because Google decided that AI is the way to go when it comes to photography.

Anyways. First attempt painting NMM Gold. Hit me with words.

First Ultrasmurf

Painted him up for a friend and it was such a hustle to prepare this lil blue guy for the Ultramarines.

Had to strip all the paint of the five year old mini, which was maybe five coats of thick unrattled spray primer, had to remove mold lines, gluelines and some sort of white putty. After that I had to model his entire right arm, amputate his left arm and fill some gaps with green stuff, then I magnetised the right arm for easier transportation, straightened his powerpack on the back and finally started to paint. And I, an idiot, decided to try NMM Gold for the first time...

And all that not being enough, my smartphone decided to randomly change all my camera settings and instead of letting me change them manually, giving me stupid AI modes!

Just checking on you guys.

Two Ultramarines getting smacked in the trailer. Playing Salamanders on the Tabletop myself and getting eaten alive.

HEAR ME OUT!

Really thinking about using the Master of Execution as a basis for a Chaplain. I may be a heretic, but I truly think this would be kinda nice with the right bits and a bit Greenstuff.

Only took me 1.5 years to finish.

At least there's one good part of being unemployed.
