Art Usage

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 27, 2008, 4:34 PM
Here are my rules for how my art can and cannot be used:

The only art I am speaking of is artwork of my characters. Please do not use any commissions or art of other people's characters (it will say in the comments if it is someone else's)

You may use my art
1. On free forums/ free roleplaying forums as long as you credit me and link back to my page in some way
2. On personal myspace (or similar) pages as long as you credit me and link back
3. To make avatars/stamps/ect. for Use on Deviantart (remember only my characters can be used. If I see someone using a picture I have drawn of someone elses character I will ask you to change it)

You may **NOT** use my art
1. On any site which includes any sexual content
2. On any site which discriminates against people base on gender, race, or sexuality, ect.
3. As advertising on any site that charges users a membership fee
4. On ANY online games!
5. On any Myspace page that you use as a promotion site for a business/band/commercial endeavor.

NO ONE!! Is allow to use my art for any commercial gain!!!
If I can't make a livable wage off my art, Why would you think I would be ok with you making money from my art?!

For those of you asking if you can use or sell my art on games, you have to understand that even if it is a game that gives you game points not money in exchange for art, in the fine print a lot of those sites claim some form of rights to the image. This is part of why I do not allow its use.

So i could use your images in a signature for a forums on a petsite or no?& of course i would credit you. & when you say no selling does that mean i cant make a signature with your image and "auction" it off on the virtual forums for fake money? Or can i with credit to you for the image?



I'm sorry for all this but i just want to make sure i understand everything before i use images.

As long as the site doesn't charge a membership fee for you to use it you can use it in your signature. :)
When I say no selling I mean that even if it is for virtual money on a game or forum I don't want it sold. My main reason is that many sites claim some form of right to the images you auction on their site, even if it is just for advertising purposes for them.

I hope that helps to clear it up :) No need to apologize, I am glad you asked.

Wow what losers. -_- If they want art, they should make their own instead of freeloading.

Hah you don't sound bitchy xD That's exactly what needs to be said, and good job for saying it. People can be so annoying. *shakes head*

That is crappy.
Though, gotta admit, it'd be cool to see your art on some MMORPG or something like that.

There seems to have been an increase in those kind of comments lately. I mean, even I've been getting a few... oO

Your annoyance is completely justified :|
