I've had several commissioners ask me about this and it's greatly appreciated!! I just want to clarify how I feel about what commissioners are allowed to do with the art they receive.

What I am okay with:

+Putting the picture on your personal DA profile
+Using the image in a layout, DA or elsewhere, as long as proper credit is given

What I am not okay with:

-My artwork being re-posted to DA or other sites, especially sites I have already posted the piece on.
-Seriously, I don't care if you have credit or not. Link back to my piece. Don't re-post.

If you are ever in doubt then just ask! Sometimes I feel that my smaller commissions wouldn't make a good enough stand alone post so I decide not to publicly share them with anyone except the commissioner. If you ask me then I'm fine with you posting these pieces yourself with proper credit. But really, the key here is communication. If you're putting something in Sta.sh, then I would prefer you leave my name on there somewhere. I had an incident with this before and.... it wasn't pretty. So just make sure you and other people can remember who did the piece later on! My livelihood relies on people being able to easily find my art and commission info. If people have to click through a million things or do an advanced Google search to find me then it's very harmful to my business!!

Thank you for reading! I'm going to be working more on those requests tomorrow so hopefully you'll see more of me soon!
