Alright, I have a room I am working on soon that holds a nasty werewolf who attacks the player.   I could have an interaction whereas the player simply clicks the weapon icon on the werewolf before it reaches him (providing some cool animation of the double barrell shotgun laying waste to the beast).   Alternatively,  when the weapon is selected the scene changes to first-person perspective where the player is fixed at that spot until the battle is over.   Added to this scene would be a health meter for the lycanthrope (3 hits he's a goner).   Simplicity or the the latter?    

I have investigated copyright laws on the internet and I think i know what the answer is on this one, but i am not quite sure.   Anyways, in my game 90% of the graphics I,ve drawn are from scratch.   Although, I have used (as tools) other peoples .gif's to get an idea how to animate certain things.   Okay, I'll get to the point.   One of my rooms has a number of creepy paintings on the wall.  The images that I used for the paintings are actually Rembrant painints of old men I've pushed the pixels on them and have manipulated them quite a bit.   I read something about...blah..blah...before 1923...it becomes public domain material.   I don't know anything about laws applying to famous works of art.  Am I doing something illegal here if so I'll put a stop to it immediately.   Any help would be appreciated.
