Art Usage Policy

General rules

• You may post my artwork somewhere else on the web without asking but LINK BACK TO ME ALWAYS [see below this section]. If you don’t link back to me, well I’m going to have to ask you to take it down.

• You are FORBIDDEN to sell my art.

• If you want to make an avatar or signature out of my art, ASK FIRST and LINK me back in your signature. If you can’t link me back, then it’s a no.

• Do NOT put my art into your YouTube videos without linking me back in your annotations or video itself.

• You are allowed to save my artwork onto your computer for personal uses without asking me (such as if you are using it for a school project which I doubt anyone would use my art LOL).

• If for some reason you want to show off your desktop screenie and it has my art in it, you don’t need to ask (AS LONG AS THE SUBMISSION CONTAINS MY DA LINK OR MY WORDPRESS’S LINK); just PLEASE link back to me. x_X
  Otherwise, if you don’t link back to me and you don’t have the URL of my dA link or my site’s link, I have every right to get it taken down.

• Copying my artwork and claiming it as your own is not allowed. You can use my art as a reference though.

• Do not edit my artwork with an inappropriate manner. E.g: Blurring, smudging for perverse reasons…etc

• If you remove the watermarking or blur any URLs within my art, this is considered art theft and I will not accept this.

• Do not post my artwork on a site individually; what’s the point of it if all of my artwork is displayed here on dA? o.o Save yourself and the web hoster’s bandwidth.

• Ripping parts of my artwork and just slamming it onto your work and you’re claiming that the entire project is done by you is NOT allowed.

————————————————————————————————————————————–
When you’re giving me credit….

• Don’t just put “drawing by blazingrunaway” or anything like that in your description if you were to repost my art with my permission…That’s not specific enough and people will probably want to see more of my stuff too ya know. =/

Improper form (example):

• ‘Drawing by blazingrunaway’ <—I don’t want to see that e-v-e-r.

• So, PLEASE provide the URL to my artwork. x_X Come on, all you have to do is just Ctrl+C the URL on top of your browser when you’re at my dA page or website and then Ctrl+V it into the description. It doesn’t take even 4 seconds, don’t be a lazy ass, it’s simple to do, it’s not going to do you any harm.

Here’s the proper form (example):

• ‘Drawing by blazingrunaway’ (blazingrunaway.deviantart.com)
