Copying rules for gaia art:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8551892&page=1We don't hold copying rules as much as gaia mods would, but keep note the difference between copied work and original works.
1) Obviously you can not just steal someone else's work and claim it as yours
2) Less obvious, you can not trace off someone else's work and claim it as yours
3) Not so obvious, even if you do change how the character looks but keep the pose and everything else the same, it is copying. For example in literature, if you take a paragraph and just rearrange the words and sentences, it is still plagiarism.
Here is an example given in "The Copy FAQ" thread under art discussion
Quote:
The image on the right is the original. The image on the left is a copy. The image in the center is referenced. What is the difference between the center image and the image on the left?
Compare the original with the copy (in fact it's a near trace). It's obviously a different character, but if you were to superimpose one on the other, they would be near identical. The only thing I changed was the hair and the clothes. It is, in fact, a copy.
So to avoid trouble with the mods please give credit to whatever works you used to make yours
