I re-created this model originally created by Paul Pepera as a means of bettering my skills. Here is a link to his Website from were i took reference for  the individual art piece I have re-created. Even though it was recreated it was a hard work. Check out his other hard surface models its awesome. http://www.peperaart.com/.

You need to give credit to the original artist. Plagiarism won't be tolerated.

Its not just "yeah sure" though. You need to give him credit. Just because you made 1 or 2 changes doesn't mean its no longer his concept. What you need to say instead of what you said above is something like:

I re-created this model originally created by Paul Pepera as a means of bettering my skills and/or as fan based art. Here is a link to his website and/or the individual art piece I have re-created. http://www.peperaart.com/

 

It is copyrighted to him, so remember to always give credit. Simply changing 1 or 2 small things doesn't make it ok.
