Dumb Questions, Part 1
11 years ago
Woo first week of my furaffinity career. I have a few questions, and if you're reading this you might have the answers! Any help would be greatly appreciated
First question! Art trades, sales and ownership!
It seems like many people like to run art sales and trades on their account, and i'd like to know how these things work. It makes sense to charge for a commission, since you are paying for art that you can influence, but many art auctions / trades involve art that's already been drawn. So what happens when someone buys one of these pictures? do they get a hi-rez version, do they get rights to post the picture to their profile page? Is it an issue of ownership? because in most cases it looks like the artist is still credited when pictures are posted. Is there a built-in assumption that the artist won't sell the same illustration more than once?
So yeah, just curious. Thanks for your help!

It sounds like you might be talking about adoptables though, can you give me an example of what you mean?
Basically someone will draw a character and then sell or trade them to someone else.
For example
The highest bidder there had to be back out so I won the auction which means I get that piece of art and the rights to the character.
So I've uploaded that image to my gallery but because I didn't draw it I still credit the artist.
As I own the character now I'm basically free to do what I want and get her drawn by whoever.
Whereas your character Red, for example, well you drew that picture in your gallery and you own the character so no-one could upload that elsewhere or get that character drawn without your permission.
