MY ART PERMISSIONS - DO & DON'T

• Using my art as reference (learning how to draw) if credit is given.
  - Except commissions I did for other people - it's never allowed to trace artwork that other people have paid for.
  
  NOTE:
  This shall not become a cheap way of getting free pictures!
  This permission is really for practise purpose only.



• Using my art for personal things (desktops, screensavers, etc.)


• Printing out my art for personal use
  (if you want a proper quality print, please buy one from me)


• Drawing my characters (fanart)
  (please give credit whom the characters belong to)


• Including my characters in group pictures (fanart)
  (please give credit whom the characters belong to)


• Using my art for slide shows (YouTube) but ONLY if credit is given and you do not claim the art or the characters to be yours (e.g. "pictures of my character XYZ" and then showing my characters would not be OK).


• Using anonymous characters for avatars, roleplay, etc.
  (Anonymous: unnamed characters that don’t belong to anybody; random character(s) that I just drew once. Please ask me first if you're not sure, and it would be nice to give credit)


• Using my art for PSP (Signature Tag) Groups (if credit is given).
  For detailed infos about this, please click here.

• Using my art for anything commercial


• Using my personal characters (Tani, Savoy, WeuUkoo Wolves)
  – for anything, especially not as avatars or for roleplaying!
  (drawing them as fanart is of course always fine)


• Claiming my characters were yours (or just change names)


• Pretending to be me! Please do not create accounts under my name (fake account / identity theft) and pretend to me be (this also constitutes a criminal offence). I seriously don't want to be roleplayed.

• Copying / Using my artwork without giving credit
  (e.g. tracing pictures and then claim them as your own creation)


• Copying / Using commissions I did for other people
  (paid artwork is not allowed for use in any way)


• Altering / Recoloring or copy my character designs
  (changing a character you find with all markings from red to green does not make it your own new creation. I don't need to say that it's also illegal to upload such altered artwork again.)


• Uploading my original (artwork) files to your galleries like
  Photobucket, MySpace, bebo, imageshack, IMVU, etc.


• Uploading illegally altered artwork of mine to your galleries like
  Photobucket, MySpace, bebo, imageshack, IMVU, etc.
  (those will be reported first in line)


• Using my art for banners / homepage designs / forums without asking before
  (not every image of mine is allowed for use)


• Using my pictures as avatars / for roleplaying if you are not sure about the copyright situation (most characters are copyrighted and already belong to someone, they're not free for use! Just writing a different name on it doesn't make it your character!)
