How to Credit Me:
Creating a CLICKABLE link to my image in your description. This is not negotiable.
When I say link to my image, I don't mean link to my profile, that doesn't help people find stocks.
Comment on my stock image with the link to your deviation.
Comment on my profile ONLY when you can't find the stock you used to comment on it.
If you cannot find the stock you used to make a clickable link, I will provide you with a link.

Do not note me with your deviation.
Do not comment on my profile with your deviation.

I will be very upset if I find out that my stock hasn't been credited. Be warned: I watch many angel and wing groups, usually your winged images end up there eventually for me to see, and if I haven't seen them before, I go checking for credits.


Copyright Infringement

 

Failing to credit me is copyright infringement.
Under no circumstance may my images be posted elsewhere in their original, unmanipulated form, credited or uncredited.
Under no circumstance may you use my wings off-site without a typed out or clickable link credit.
You may not use my wings in collaboration with copyrighted imagery. See dA policy: help.deviantart.com/157/


Horse and Wolf (All Animals) Manips

 


Whether or not a wing is allowed on horses and wolves is listed on the wing image itself or in the deviation description. If it says No Horses, that means No Wolves, and No other animals also.
If a wing stock says No Horses and you use it on a horse or wolf (or other animal), I will ask that you remove the image. Frankly, I don't care about your excuses. Especially if it was written on the image, you had to see it before erasing it.
If the wing stock says "With permission." Ask my permission. I will view your gallery and give or decline it. If you don't ask my permission, I will ask that you remove the image.

If you do not remove the image, I will request removal via a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

If you want permission to use one of my wing stocks on an animal, I will require you to use a minimum of 4-5 stocks total to prevent the drag and drop look that I see far too oftne.
If you really want to use my wing stock and it says no horses or wolves (all animals) or I have declined permission, you can always purchase the stock.
You may not post an image containing my wing stock on a horse, wolf site, or other animal site. This is all-inclusive. I will not give permission. Ever. This includes no layouts, icons, or banners for said sites. This includes RPG sites. Ex. Howrse, PonyBox, Makeshiftheart, Helovia, etc.
Find more exact details here as to why I am not usually in favor of horse and wolf manips:
Horse and Wolf Manips: My thoughts and reasons..I am creating this journal as an explanation as to why I do not allow horses or wolves to be added to my premade backgrounds and do not allow my wings to be attatched to them without my prior permission.

Let me begin by saying that I have absolutely nothing against horses or wolves, both are beautiful, amazing animals, nor do I have anything against the amazing deviants that create horse and/or wolf art.

I really don't know exactly how to put this together...

To make my rules regarding this concern as simple as possible I have stated on each premade background and wing stock that I do not allow horse or wolf manipulations without prior per



Categorizing Images Using my Wings
The following categories are acceptable: Any category under Digital Art.
Any category not under Digital Art. You will have to change it.
For example, if you list an image containing my wings as photography or traditional art, you will have to change it because: A. You did not photograph these wings. B. You did not draw these wings. (see referencing).


Off-Site Non-Commercial Usage Steps
Post the image first to deviantART.
Post the image in the off-site location.
All off-site usage should have a written out or clickable link on or near the image itself. No exceptions.
Send me a link, via comment on the stock used, the links to both the dA and off-site locations.


Commercial Use of Wing Stock
All of my wing stock is purchasable for commercial.. Please contact me on dA or e-mail katie_litchfield@yahoo.com
When using my wings for commercial purposes, they must be part of a combined image.
My wings may not be purchased for the purpose of re-selling them.
Once purchased, you may not claim my wings as your own. You did not create them.
Selling images containing my wings off-site or otherwise for any form of currency, this includes digital currencies, is considered commercial use. Thus payment is required.
Please feel free to sell prints from dA, that is free.
Commissions using my wings are commercial use. Thus payment is required.
Basically: If you're getting paid, so am I.


Prints
My stocks can be used for prints on deviantART ONLY.
I consider off-site prints to be commercial use. (see commercial use)


Using Wings on Line-Art or Cartoon Style Images
Absolutely... NOT.


Wing Stock as Reference for Traditional Art
Sure! Credit me as stated at the beginning of this entry and send me a link.
It has to be posted to dA.


Wing Stock in School Projects and Newspapers
Sure! Don't forget to give credit along with whatever you've made when you turn it in.
It has to be posted to dA and a link sent to me.


Wings in Tutorials
Sure, with proper credit. (see how to credit).


Using My Wings In/As Stock
My wings may not be used to in stock images.
My wings may not be used to create new wings of any type.
Long story short NO NO NO etc. NO


See anything I've forgotten or something you think needs added or touched on? Leave me a coment.
Have any additional questions? Please ask.

Before posting this on DA I wanted to ask if this was okay with your rules: Chimera Phobix     I made several works like this, so I wanted to know if it's okay with you. I simply changed the colors using hue derivation. Of course that I would give you full credit since the stick is yours after all.

Hey! Quick question, I drew a picture of a character of mine (digitally), and I used a pair of your wings these ones , but I changed the colours a to be a really dark blue. Is this still okay to post to DA if I give you full credits for the wings in the description? If not, that is totally fine. I just wanted to find out before I posted the image.

Hi ^^
I was wondering if you could use your wings stock in a manip in which the model is a cosplayer. I haven't read anything about that in your rules.

So long as the image is categorized under Photomanipulation and I am credited with a link to my stock, its fine with me, thank you for asking.

Kururu-Pon [2013-12-26 12:21:08 +0000 UTC]

Hi there - I'm interested in using your wings in my image but the style is in sort of painted anime. I understand you said no 'cartoon'...and I'm unsure whether this sort of classifies as that. On the same note, I have seen some people crediting you and they have used it in a similar sort of fashion that I am interested as well... for example here: irohha.deviantart.com/art/Grap…



is it okay for me to put some wings on, reference, or retouch/edit your wings on a painted anime style image?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Thy-Darkest-Hour In reply to Kururu-Pon [2013-12-26 17:41:49 +0000 UTC]

Hello,


Thank you for inquiring. This type of use is fine with two small problems that I see.


1. When you use a stock image, it is no longer a drawing. The category needs to be changed to Digital Art > Mixed Media.

2. When you use my stock, please link directly to the stock itself rather than to my profile.

I used these in this post:  ringo-apples.tumblr.com/post/6…


I can't tell if you're telling me to post here or .....what?

I used 4 of the wings so posting the same thing over and over on all of the wings seemed like it would be kind of annoying. XD

Thy-Darkest-Hour In reply to Caprickitty [2013-12-08 16:32:04 +0000 UTC]

It should have been posted to one of my wing stocks rather than to my rules.


Please take the time to credit each of the wing stocks with typed out links in the description of your images.

iverie In reply to Thy-Darkest-Hour [2013-07-29 18:17:33 +0000 UTC]

It would be for if someone wanted to be turned into an angel of some kind. Along with the finished image, I would send them a reference page so they could see where I got the stuff from the image.

Thy-Darkest-Hour In reply to iverie [2013-08-01 01:07:13 +0000 UTC]

So you would be selling the completed image containing the wing stock, should anyone order one? Is that correct?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

iverie In reply to Thy-Darkest-Hour [2013-08-02 00:47:59 +0000 UTC]

Yes ma'am.
If someone sends me an image wanting to be turned into an angel, I would send them back an image with their picture, a background, your wing, etc, all put together to make the person an angel. I'm just wanting to get permission of people before I decided how to go about this.

Example:
iverie.deviantart.com/art/Unde…
Stock used: Starfish by [link]
Shell by [link]
Tail by [link]
All other things found on bing.com

Thy-Darkest-Hour In reply to iverie [2013-08-04 03:10:00 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I just wanted to be certain on your intentions.


Under my terms, this would qualify as Commercial Use for Prints essentially.


While I don't charge users for submitting images containing my stock as prints on deviantART, I consider off-site use to be commercial, so I would require a small fee, per image sold, should you chose to use my wing stock. The fee would be between 50 and 100 points depending on the wing set used.


Also, I'd like to point out that it isn't a good idea to use images from search engines because its about a 99% chance that the image is copyrighted to someone somewhere. I'd recommend searching for sites that specialize in Public Domain images which you can use for free in any way that you want.
