Oh hi! Here's some pretty useful stuff


Everyone has their own personal feelings/opinions on how the content they create is used, this is mine!


My artwork belongs to me



DA READS: Very helpful!
FAQ #8: What are violations of the DeviantArt copyright policy?
FAQ #157: Can I use things created by other people in my submissions?
FAQ #306: Does "Crediting" let me use whatever I want?
FAQ #94: I would like to purchase a work I've found on DeviantArt or license it for use.


As a product of my time and imagination, I own each and every picture and character that I create.
They are not free-to-use for any purpose other than to look at wherever I choose to post them. In regards to Tumblr, reblogging is of course perfectly fine! But Reposting is not! Please don't do that >:

What all that © in my artist comments means

As stated above, everything I draw is mine. I have the right to decide what happens with or to it.
I do not want my pictures to be;

• Reposted on any websites, including this one. Reblogging from my own tumblr is fine! But not reposting
• On a slightly related note, please don't use characters that I created as references for characters in Roleplays!

• Please don't trace and/or claim pictures or characters that I created as your own, that's pretty low!

• Please do not edit my content in any way
-- This means I do not want my art recoloured, cropped, copied, pasted, collaged or drawn all over. Also using my art for graphics such as avatars or signatures etc without permission

• Please do not copy my drawings or characters!
-- This means redrawing or tracing the picture/character in any way regardless of any changed or added elements.
If it looks a hell of a lot like my picture/character I will most likely consider it copied.

Exceptions: If you want to copy a certain pose or picture please ask me first and if I say yes, note that you have permission wherever you upload it (to avoid being reported) always give credit for where you got the idea somewhere where you post your picture!
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ASK FIRST.
Please understand that some pictures may have a degree of personal value, and that I may not want them to be recreated.

My characters belong to me



A lot of time, thought and loves goes into creating characters, and they are all very dear to me!
Please do not heavily base your characters on my own, imagine how you would feel if someone took something of yours and claimed it as their own creation - it's not very nice!

I have no problem with people creating new characters from races I've created, such as the Britanian Faun and Satyr, MeiuMeius or Odessians, so long as you don't claim or imply that you created anything but the characters, and state somewhere that the Race is my own.
Also show me because I want to see them ;3

Does that mean I can't draw/write about your characters? D: DO YOU HATE FAN ART CIN?

Of course not c: I love it when people draw or write about my characters, either on their own or interacting with other peoples OCs or... anything, really! Seeing other people create things because they like a character that I made is such a lovely feeling! I keep every single picture that I get.
If you ever do make something with my characters, please uust make sure you say who they belong to that's all! And of course show me!

Thank you so, so much for reading all of this!


Remember that if you're ever unsure whether it's okay to do something or not, it never hurts to ask!

Thank you for respecting the wishes of doodlers such as myself!

I'm a bit shaky on the pose thing...I don't know maybe it's just my way of thinking that because no can really copy right a pose...but hey I have no qualms whatsoever with your rules.
