Usage Guidelines by PewterKat

There are quite a few things that can and cannot be done with my art.

ANYONE CAN DO:

  • Save my art to your personal computer for wallpaper or just to look at, as long as that’s ALL.
  • Use for educational purposes. If you’re using my art in a school project, be aware you need to source images as well as where you get information. If you are using it to teach yourself art, be aware that if the picture is heavily referenced, you need to give me credit if you decide to post it.

COMMISSIONER CAN DO:

  • Crop a portion for their ID or avatar where appropriate (I would rather you not do this for preposes where another person has bought a slot.
  • Post in any gallery you own. If you are on Weasyl, I will be happy to send the piece to your collection if you’ll give me the username you have for that site. You MUST give proper credit wherever you post, either linking to the piece in my gallery or to me, preferably both. I currently have accounts on deviantArt, Fur Affinity, Weasyl, and Tumblr, and am PewterKat on all of these.
  • Regarding adopts: if you have bought an adopt from me, or had one made special, you may give them away if you see fit. You are NOT to sell them. If you have had them for a year, and only if you MUST, you may sell them for up to half of their net worth (the price you paid for them, any artwork you done,etc.).

CANNOT DO FOR ANY REASON:

  • Trace my art: Omg, I don’t think I need to explain. This is rude. If you must trace, don’t post it, please. This goes for recolors or whatever else you’re going to try to do to it. It’s not right, please don’t.
  • Make my art into bases: Absolutely not. If I wanted you to have a base of my art, I’d make it myself.
  • SELL MY ART: No! That’s my blood, sweat and tears! Even if you bought a piece from me, you are not allowed to sell it! At all! If you want to sell art of mine in some way, we need to draw up a contract and go about this whole thing differently.
  • Repost my art: Again, no. I post darn near everything on Tumblr or deviantART, so if you must repost, go reblog it from me or use one of deviantART’s share features. If it’s not anywhere else, it’s because I don’t want it to be. There are some exceptions to this rule that are EXPLICITLY STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION of whatever picture it pertains to. If you absolutely have to show your gran on Facebook that hot pin-up of the wolf boy I drew, and it’s not up for sharing, please ask me, first. If it’s a commission, the answer will almost always be no.

If you feel that anyone has violated any of the rules, what do you do? Report them, then bring the matter to my attention so I can report them, as well. I do not condone white-knighting for any reason, because that just goes downhill far too quickly. If you must rally people, rally them to report and to be intelligent about how they go about it. We can get so much more done if we do it right. There is only one person who is allowed to speak on my behalf, because she knows what she’s doing and is responsible with such things.
