Do you like making customs and custom designs? Make sure you're doing it legally.
Brushes/patterns from the internet CANNOT BE USED on an aywas image unless:
- it requires no credit
- it is allowed for commercial purposes
- you list EVERY BRUSH you use under the design in a "brushes/images used" section of your pet's profile, along with a link to the rules of the brush, and keep record of that on your pet forever
Google images or patterns you get off the internet CANNOT BE USED on an aywas image unless:
- it requires no credit
- it is allowed for commercial purposes
- you list EVERY IMAGE you use under the design in a "brushes/images used" section of your pet's profile, along with a link to the rules of the image, and keep record of that on your pet forever
Using images that do not belong to you and you do not have permission to use is THEFT and ILLEGAL. If you do it, we will ban you. So don't do it.
When in doubt, message a moderator with a link to your image/pattern/brush's rules and they will let you know if you can use it.
Suspicious that someone might be using an image without permission? Contact a moderator with a link to the thread.
If a moderator approaches you asking for information about your images, you are required to yield where you got the images from. If you made the image yourself, you are required to show progress layers that prove you are the original artist of the image. Be sure to keep them so you don't have any problems.
Aywas takes art theft very seriously, as we are an art community. We are cracking down on it, and there will be no hand-slapping for thieves.

Alright I can deal with that. I'll remove my customs for sell until I can refind the brush/pattern links I got them from.
And I got everything from free sites, my huge mistake was the images /not patterns or brushes/ I thought.. oK? since they are free *never ever ever use anything not free for commerical use. I always always look for that/.but not ok. A Mod told me, I removed them right away, and asked skitty to cancel one, and refunded people.
So I know that may not be a good enough fix... I did not know, thought I knew and understood everything, but I suck at understanding everything and I don't really want to get in trouble but not sure if its to late.. I spend hours fixing my mistake though. x.x I'm sorry....I caused so much trouble. I feel horrible..

(btw if any of my customers have pets they've not submited and I've not contacted you, well I'm not sure. I only used free patterns on those but with the links rule now... I don't know if you can make them. just pm me with the image and I'll tell you free or brush and if you want refunded thats fine.)

whoo...thank goodness i only use the brushes that already came with my Photoshop. i actually have custom brushes but i have no intention on using them because they're not to be used for profit anyway.

The links aspect has come into effect now because there are a lot of incidents with people not understanding you can't use an image you don't have permission to use.
