Overall: not bad. How ever you don't seem to be aware that copying (with or without derivation) pictures from games, films, other pictures etcetera is against international copyright laws if you don't have permission from the copyright holder (usually author), if the original work is licensed then you may not need to ask permission (you should refer to licenses if available). I believe that fair use probably comes in here (but I'm not quite sure because UK fair use is bordering on non-existent ) however in your context I doubt you could use it as a legal defence.

So stick to your own original work and don't copy anything without permission.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a lawyer, solicitor, attorney or anything like that, however from the aspects of copyright law that I've needed to read, for various reasons, I give this advice.
