Crediting your Sources is COOLby ~Bethling

deviantART Related / Deviant Stamps

Feel free to use this stamp!

-----

As many of you know me, you also know my biggest pet peeve: Non-credit. Especially around here on dA.

So many manips I see nowadays are "images are not mine... note me if they're yours!

" or are just linked to flickr, or even worse, not credited at all. Just a "this is my work, NO STEAL!" or "handpainted by me!" put on the bottom in some odd form of "credits". Really, is this what we have come to, in our new tech and new age world of art?

Art theft is art theft, and crediting your sources IS cool. This goes for manips to digital to traditional... to sometimes even photography and beyond. CREDIT YOUR WORK! And credit it correctly! Sharing the images you used to help create your work doesn't show that you're "not an artist" or a "cheater"... it shows that you're a human being, with the ability to make work based off the world around you. Not so bad, huh?

Always remember... To bring you good work, ACCIO!
ASK: Ask to see if you are allowed to use the work as a reference/allowed to make derivatives of the work, if not already stated.
CONFIRM: Get the clear on being able to use the work in the way the artist/provider allows.
CREDIT: Put credits to the webpage/artist in the comments or on the image, based on what the artist/provider states.
INFORM: Tell the artist/provider you have used their work!
OWN IT!: Share your wonderful, correctly credited work to the world!

FAQ #306: Does "Crediting" let me use whatever I want?

No

You must obtain written permission from the proper and legal owner of any work which you wish to use, credit alone does not replace this requirement. Failure to obtain proper permission for the use of works protected under copyright can leave your deviantART submission vulnerable to being removed following a claim of infringement against it.

Explicit permission is not required when you choose to use valid stock resources. Please check your sources carefully to ensure that they are valid stock and please be certain to obey all rules, terms and conditions which may be attached to that resource.

FAQ #257: What sort of permission do I need to use someone else's work?

If the work you wish to use is not a valid stock or resource material then you need to contact the proper copyright owner of the material prior to submission. Once contacted the owner of the material needs to provide you with a written statement which clearly states that you have permission to use the work and that you have permission to sublicense your derivative work to deviantART as required by deviantART's Submission Agreement. The owner should state that they understand the nature of both deviantART and the nature of the Submission Agreement.

For your convenience we have provided a sample permissions document HERE.

Other types of permissions statements may also be accepted.

Be certain to remember to adhere to any other conditions they may have given you when you submit to your gallery. For example; if they specified that you link to their website in the deviation's description then be certain to link to their website or your permission will be considered invalid and may be subjected to immediate removal. Also be certain to mention somewhere in your Deviation description that the necessary permissions have been included for review.

Please be aware that the proper copyright owner is not necessarily the webmaster of the site where you find the material. Webmasters are not considered to have the legal ability to grant you the necessary permissions to use the third party works which may be found on the websites they maintain.

Remember the rules and respect the work of others!

~Bethling Jan 28, 2013 Student General Artist

true story.

~smilekeeper Jan 27, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I couldn't agree more.
I see a lot of people just do photomanipulative graphics that look REALLY good, but they don't give credit to the sources they've used like textures, brushes, actions, images, e.t.c.

~Bethling Jan 28, 2013 Student General Artist

It's something that I will always try and fight for myself.

Such a shame that people who are talented taint themselves in some ways.
