So, I have been in community for pretty long time now and I truly want to discuss this with Artists and non-Artists



I do draw art myself and sometimes I commission them from other fellow-artists. But! Sometimes when commission is done I usually ask for not just a png or jpg file, but working file, if I'd like to change something for myself in time. Mentioning the original piece and original artist with all the respect.

Some artists agree on that and gladly share the file, some artists turn on greed and asking "never to change anything in my art".

So here's the main question: do you really own the product you paid for (your commission), or you rent it from artist, if the artist asks to "remove, because I don't like it" will you be obligated to do that?



Talking about Myself, I follow the policy "you paid- you own", so if you bought anything from me, you are free to do anything with you paid art: color it yourself, give someone else to color it, change details, feed it to AI.

BUT don't forget to mention the original piece and original artist!




So what you all think on this subject? Fellow - artists and non artists. Will be interesting to hear different opinions
