some days i think about making comics or some other commercial works with my ocs, but i feel weird about using ocs i didnt design. because people have terms of service and stuff for their designs, i feel really limited to what i can do with them. like, what if i wanted to make pins of an oc to sell? if i didnt design them, is that possible? would i have to pay a commercial use fee? i just dont want to deal with that. plus i dont want to profit off of something i didnt make. if i make a comic, everything would be made by myself.
i really wish i didnt get into making and designing adopts as a kid, because while i have a lot of cool ocs, i only made maybe half of them. the only solution i can think of is to trade or just store the ocs i didnt make and replace them, but i am too attached to them to do that :( idk what to do..

Every oc you havent designed youd have to get in contact with the og designer and ask for either commercial rights or pay them a commercial fee for it, sadly i dont think theres any way around this :[ but most of the designers dont really like. Ask for more then a one time payment for commercial rights, or some dont even ask for payment and just give it right away, tho i get not wanting to contact designer by designer it sounds like it would take a while fjwjejje

okay thanks because i genuinely didnt really understand how commercial rights worked </3
but i collect ocs from many people, so contacting them all would be a nightmare omg
i feel like its also just a personal ick, like if im making some big project, i want everything to be something i made, or else i’d just feel weird and dishonest in a way
