Say i wanted to make a portfolio about my work...
Would that mean i would have to upload all my sigs containing an anime pic in it somewhere else, coz i didnt really create the *whole* thing myself.

And i also want a render section, i render (removing the background of the pics to make them more useable in GFX), if am i allowed to host that?; coz i didnt create any of it, i just removed the background.

Edit: Same with other renders, am i allowed to host them at all?
Thanks

like signature type graphics are fine, we are talking about full drawing that are claimed to be yours that really are some other persons who posted their pictures on the net.

 

[RiplasH]

Oh i c.
So as long as i giv credit i can host?

yyeah i just realized i need to check this too lol. what do i do if i find templates, or designs...just obtain permission or make sure it doesnt go against their T&C?

 

[Jake]

i would always obtain permission for any of someone elses work.

So like deviantart, if it contains something thats not yours itll be removed?...
DeavintArt is nutty, theyve removed all my sigs xD
Im kinda confused.

Say ive rendered a Ragnarok online assassin.
And i want to store it and then stick it in my portfolio...
do i have to go all the way to korea and get permission? :S
or at the bottom somewhere ill say:
Image Copyright Ragnarok Online
or something along those lines...

If you are copying someone elses work, or using it to derive your own work from, you should get permission before you use it. Permission means, emailing, writing a letter... just let the person know what you want to do with their work, and ask politely if you would be allowed. Even if you borrow someone elses work and modify it, it is still derived from their work and must be used with permission.
