It is more fun to make your own stuff anyway.

I know its better to make your own stuff, but I have seen one or two models that I think are just amazing, and well I want it primarily for design work. for banners. if I take one model, cut it out, smooth, feather, add drop shadows, filters, logos, creative writing ect. is it cool to use this for a main banner on my site?
