These are the rules for using my artwork.
I feel that they are pretty fair, so please don't abuse this!

*You may ONLY use art from these portions of my gallery:
General Usable Images
Pull Down Heaven comic
Soldier comic

*You MUST credit me if you use an image, either by linking to my DA gallery or by posting text on or near the image stating that it is (c) Moonsongwolf.

*You may repost these images on other sites as long as they are non-profit, non-political, non-religious, and free of hate speech directed to gender, race, religion, or sexuality.

*You may save my art to your computer or print a personal copy for your own enjoyment.

*It's probably not the best teaching tool, but you may use these images for pose references and such. You still must credit my work if you are tracing or otherwise "heavily referencing."

*You may not manipulate or alter my images in any way without permission, other than to add text to them stating that they are (c) Moonsongwolf. If you need stock images, please visit my stock account at ~MoonsongStock


Why can I only use certain artwork? What if I want to use another image?

A very large portion of my gallery consists of trades, gifts, and commissions for other people. I do not consider it ethical for me to give permission for artwork of someone else's character to be used without their knowledge! I will only make exceptions if you can prove to me that you have received permission from the character's owner/creator to use the image. I also have a few photo manipulations which I have made with other people's photographs (with their permission), and not all of them allow photo manipulations made with their photos to be reposted.

Thanks for reading, and please note me if you have any questions.

Yes, it's a little like using the word 'normal' to describe a person. In reality. the only people that we think are 'normal' are the ones that we don't know well enough. ;) That's basically just my personal caveat for people using my art, though. It's intended more just as a rule that I can point to when someone is using my art in a way that I dislike rather than a straightedge definition of what's really going to piss off a 'normal' person or not.

Ha ha, just curious, what book are you reading? I had an interest in psychology a long time ago but haven't really done much study in it in a while (other than personality analysis, which I find fascinating).

"the language police:how pressure groups restict how children learn"(or something like the subtitle) i bought it when they said on the news "the newist 5 words you can't say in the classroom"

so. the religious right and the insane PC left go and cry and moan about things being offensive, crying touchy children and their butthurt parents, from the 80's and a bit before then, butcher tests, and textbooks.

some don't care how historically accurate work is.
they care if it offends someone

Sounds like an interesting book. I might have to check and see if my school library has it in stock sometime and check it out.

I think it's an admirable thing to be conscious and respectful of other people's thoughts and feelings... but only up until the point that it is practical and ethical to do so. I mean, really, rewriting history, being purposefully disingenuous, or neglecting to punish overtly bad behavior so that it doesn't "offend" someone is crossing the line. It's going to be a real slap in the face for some of the kids growing up under these types of influences when they get out into the job market someday and find that they don't have the social skill set to cope with negativity.

yeh but it goes to the point of "I don't like my son's history book, it dosen't mention enough disabled people in history"

"I don't like my daughter's science book, it dosen't mention enough African American women in the science fields

"this littature book is offensive, it dosen't have enough stories writen by older Native American authors"

"this kid's story book has to many boy characters, not enough positive handicaped ones and all the old people have bad sterotypes attached to them, plus they called the boy dog a "he" animals are not he's and she's. Plus the kids are brats in this book, and wear costumes and talk about Santa claus and pick up frogs"

Someones used my character once, not on an art trade, and it was a little annoying XD.

I don't mind as long as someone asks first and isn't doing anything... weird with the character. But it would really, really annoy me if they just used it without asking. That's extremely rude.

It's hard not to overreact when someone steals something important to you. I've been guilty of flipping out about it a few times.
