Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll copy from the Gaia Requests and Commissions, since mainly the same rules would apply here heart

Art and Art Theft:

R&C is only for one of a kind original art commissions.

* Under no circumstances is selling art you personally have not made permitted.

Modifying the artwork of others is still art theft, as is copying other images. Art theft is a serious offense and can result in a permanent ban from the site as well as potential legal action from artists whose art is involved. Selling or attempting to sell stolen art is also scamming, which recieves a permanent ban with no warning.

If you suspect someone is stealing art, please do not confront them, but instead contact a mod with relevant information, including a link to the thread containing the art, a screenshot of the post if you are able to in case the thread maker takes down the art, and if possible a link to the site the art was stolen from as proof it is stolen.

* Abide by terms of use:

When you buy art here, it is yours to use, however that use may be limited by terms the artist dictates which you legally must abide by. If you plan to use it for something off site or as a commercial peice, discuss this with them first to clarify the rights and useage of the work. To be safe, both artists and commissioners should keep a copy of the terms for future reference.

* Obtain permission to alter art:

For example, if you receive lineart that you wish to have colored, you must obtain the permission of the artist before modifying their work.



R&C Appropriate Threads

* Only three types of threads should be made in R&C.

o Store threads offering original commissions.

o Threads seeking artists to commission for pay.


If your thread does not fit into one of these two categories, it belongs in a different forum.

Please remember that there is a separate forum for Art Contests.



Payment:

* Art commissions are a contract between users.

Refusing to pay for art once you have agreed to the terms of the commission is not allowed, nor is accepting payment without either providing the product or refunding the payment if you are unable to complete the commission. These are considered scamming, which is a bannable offense on Gaia.

* Art can only be sold on Gaia for Gaia Gold and items.

Selling art for real cash on Gaia is not permitted. You may link in your thread to a webpage that has your cash commission options but you may not advertise it or directly take commissions for cash on Gaia.
