Custom Commissioned Art Policy Change

Pets

We are stating a new policy for artists who take commissions for customs with lineart changes:


You are required to disclose to the buyer before payment has been decided and work has begun whether you plan on using the buyer's commissioned lineart edits for further commission or resale work.


In other words, if you plan on re-coloring the lineart-edited custom you made for another person and selling it to someone else, your original buyer must be fully aware of this before negotiating the custom and creating it.

It is unfair to buyers to use their paid custom lineart, which is usually a character of theirs, without their knowledge or permission.

Had to read that twice to get what you were saying, but makes perfect sense to me.

Good. It bothers me when people resell commissioned lineart, even though it doesn't really effect me. :B

I actually really wanted to use one for an adoptable on wajas once, but I do have more decency than that. I can't believe this would become a problem. Makes me a little sad. >.>;

Thought that'd be a given?! :O
Well, maybe if it was something like generic looking wings/jewelry, then I guess I could understand some artists reusing those. x3

...but aren't custom designs always one-offs anyway? *does this anyway and is therefore shot*

I think this custom rule works great I would be deeply disturbed if I saw my custom on someone elses custom

Has happened. I commished Estuko to do mine, took 2 days to get it right. The lineart was reused and recolored for Silverwish's. Slash made this a policy 'cuz he didn't want it going on, he was just as surprised to discover it as me and Silver. But at least it won't happen again. ^^
