Sharing/reposting guidelines
3 years ago
This hasn't come up too much so far, but I figure it's a good thing to address sooner rather than later.
I am, broadly, okay with my art being shared elsewhere, under the following conditions:
-You must link back to the original FA or Twitter submission.
-Uploading my work on aggregate art sharing websites like e621 or in Discord/Telegram art sharing channels is okay. Uploading to personal galleries like FA or Twitter without express permission is NOT allowed.
-When uploading my work, use the highest quality source file available - nearly everything I've posted has Dropbox links for the original resolution files.
--If uploading to Telegram, upload WITHOUT applying compression (use the "Drop images here" option and/or uncheck "Compress images"). If uploading as a compressed image is required for bots/etc, also upload an uncompressed copy if at all possible.
-Do not claim or imply authorship of my work.
-Do not edit, alter, remix, or utilize my work in part or in whole in any derivative work without first obtaining express permission. (Feel free to ask about it though, honestly I'd probably be flattered.)
-Do not use my work to make money without express permission.
-Do NOT use my work in any way associated with NFT, blockchain, or related technology. This includes tokens that contain a link to my work, tokens that contain any portion of data derived from my work, tokens containing any code that reproduces any portion of my work, etc.
Basically, drawing is not a financial incentive for me right now and I'm fine with my art being treated as a public good of sorts. However, I want authorship to still be easily traceable back to me and my galleries, and I want any distributed versions to be as close to original quality as possible. Twitter and Telegram are fucking horrible as art sharing platforms because they apply massive jpeg compression to everything, and it absolutely kills me when art gets downloaded from Twitter, compressed further by TG, and passes through another dozen hands until what's left is a pixelated mess with no way to figure out who created the original or where it's located. Because of how sharing things on the internet works, it's almost inevitable that that will happen eventually to work that gets shared around enough, but I want to do everything in my power to ensure the chain of quality and authorship stays unbroken as long as possible, and persists for the instances that get seen by the most people.
I'm still very much a small-time creator and have yet to have any major problems with any of this stuff, and I'd like to hope whatever audience I have is chill and understanding enough to keep it that way. At some point I might look into into applying a creative commons license to my art so I have something more legally bulletproof than a quick set of rules and guidelines, and hopefully that's as far as I ever have to go.
Oh, and if at any point you do see my art shared around in telegram channels or the like without attribution or in lower-than-original quality, kindly post a link to the submission or my gallery so people can know where it came from. And if you see anyone impersonating me, claiming authorship over my work, reposting my art to FA/twitter/etc. without permission, etc., report them if possible and let me know so I can get it addressed.
Anyway, that's all! Thanks for tuning into my... bi-yearly-ish journal posting.
