Design Usage Guidelines
As I fall more and more into the abyss of adoptable and character hoarding, I'm certain a time will come where I make a choice to rehome designs, or even create and sell my own custom pieces. With that in mind, I'd just like to set some basic guidelines for that situation.
Guidelines last updated 15 June 2022.
Regarding art of AlyCat character
Pretty please respect original designs for what they are. AlyCat is an important character, so note the following:
- She is fat. It's very clear in her ref sheet that she has a larger body. While I generally don't commission art of her from folks who don't have evidence of larger, softer bodies in their gallery, things do slip through the cracks. If I commission you and you do not respect her shape, I will fix it myself. If you don't want to draw a fat body, tell me before you take my money and insult me by continuing to draw her thinly. Thanks for understanding!
Regarding minors
Minors are welcome so long as they click responsibly.
- While there are adult themes and materials present on some characters, they're all hidden away in designated tabs so that galleries may easily be looked through by anyone of any age without randomly coming across unsavory things.
original designs
When it comes to my original characters (as in characters I create myself rather than characters I purchase from someone else), please:
- Do not blatantly copy, trace, steal, etc. You're welcome to take inspiration from my work from color choice to texture, just don't take the whole thing.
- If I have a design that isn't specifically labelled as a character for sale or trade, then please don't inquire about it. I will be sure to organize listings separately.
- Please don't repost my work in any capacity from sharing on social media (unless retweeted from my personal account) to using characters for roleplay. Designs that are not created for sale are commonly very personal to me, and I'd like to keep it that way.
adoptable designs
Regarding adoptables that I design for sale/trade:
- Make sure you're looking at properly labelled for sale/trade character folders.
- Feel free to haggle and make offers unless otherwise specified.
- Please do not resale for an increased price unless there is new art that adds to its value. In the event of a freebie, unless there is new art, please simply gift the design to someone else who may create for it instead.
- If you like a base that I may use, check the credits! I'll always link back to the original.
character rehoming
Regarding characters that I create or have purchased in the past that are available for resale:
- Make sure you're looking at properly labelled resale folders.
- Like with design adoptions, you're welcome to haggle and make offers unless otherwise specified.
- Please do not resale for an increased price unless there is new art that adds to its value. In the event of a freebie, unless there is new art, please simply gift the design to someone else who may create for it instead.
- I will do my best to maintain links to original creators where possible if you're at all interested in seeing more by the initial artists.
