Fanart Rules

[Black Knight]

Aye folks, rules to read and you all will read them.

1. Art Whoring

It's completly ignoring the fact to comment on the persons art and only asking for requests.
If you do your post will simply get deleted.


2. Flaming

You all know what flaming is.
Do it and I'll delete your post.

3. Stealing Art

If I get to know that someone here has been stealing art I'll delete the topic and I'll strike you.

Yes, I'm come to terrorze you all here too folks.


4. Grammer, Spelling and Posting

Yes folks, your worst nightmare has come true.
It is now against the rules to post with text language, with great grammatic errors and, like usual, double posting and posting less then 5 words is wrong.


5. Common Sense

You all have it, use it.


Breaking these rules result in deleted post, verbal warning or strike.

[Steel Valor]

lol Art whoring thats a nice term. Its about time someone set up rules!

[Black Knight]

First thing I asked Sonikku after becoming promoted was if I coudl set up rules.

I might add rules in the other sections, but its mainly common sense that rule there.
Don't flame and stuff like that.

[Ashley]

Hi im new and i accet your rules.

[Black Knight]

Do you mean;
Hi im new and i accept your rules.
??

[Ashley]

Yes, i mean;
Hi im new and i accept your rules.

[Black Knight]

Well, hope you have a pleasant stay and enjoy yourself. ^^

[AnnZie]

Okay... I'm adding this rule on, since it is quite important in reality. I took it off the Sonic Zone Forums, since I was checking over the rules.



Bumping

Bumping of a topic that's at least over two weeks old by another member and not the topic starter is prohibited and will result in a warn for disreguarding the rules. Now if the topic owner bumps to post new art then thats perfectly fine since there is a good reason behind it. There are exceptions though, such as if the topic owner bumps with nothing to update, with or if it's a bump from a topic made months ago. An update can consist of an image or info stating when new art will be posted ect..

Hi! I have a question.
See, I'd like to post a new topic with a link to my art, but I was wondering about PG+ rated art? I don't have anything too bad, but of course Sonic isn't all I draw, and there are some pictures on my site of two characters from another anime tounge-kissing... so I was wondering about whether that was okay?

Well I guess in the title you could always add a warning. like in brackets (Warning: PG rated)

[Sonikku]

That kind of stuff is allowed, as long as there is a clear warning in the thread title.

[Loco_the_Exclaimer]

Oh, okay. Thank you both very much! ^_^

[Amna1140]

I Accept the rules.

[Black Knight]

I don't if you say that to be polite or not...But it's pretty darn obvious that you have to accept the rules.

[Amna1140]

What do you mean by that??

[Black Knight]

Meaning that whether you liked the rules or not you'd have to accept them...

If you said that you accept them to be polite then I thank you.

[Loco_the_Exclaimer]

Hey, if I started a topic for art you find online (y'know, stuff you didn't draw but wanted to share with everybody), would that qualify as Art Stealing? Or is it okay?

[Black Knight]

As long as you state that you got it from someone else and, if you can, state the artists name or alias, it's ok. But it's only ok as long as you don't take the credit. Otherwise, go for it. ^^

[Loco_the_Exclaimer]

Thanks! ^_^

[Amna1140]

If you said that you accept them to be polite then I thank you.

Yes Im very polite, trust me.

I really want to join fan art and fan created characters.:cool:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....

[Black Knight]

You don't have to ask me to 'join'. All you have to do is follow the rules. ^^

And how do you mean join? As in posting art and character profiles?

[Knuckles_The_Echidna]

Hmmmm......

Whats Common Sense???-.-

[Kursed]

common sense is obviously think before you type

[DarknessTheDarkHedgehog]

Hmmm.....

the rules are ok..

but i don't understand what's Art Whoring??

And whats Common Sense??

[I_Luv_Tails]

Art Whoring
Basically, just asking for requests and not commenting on the art at all.

Common Sense
Common sense is common sense. Plain and simple, just don't do anything dumb or stupid I guess.

By the way, I hope that it's okay if I am answering peoples' questions. If not then I will stop immediately.

[DarknessTheDarkHedgehog]

Thanks Tails for answering i really needed that!!
(Is it ok if i call you just Tails?)

[Black Knight]

Hmmm.....

In answer to your common sense question I'll quote my wonderful collegue, DP who summed it up perfectly.

common sense is obviously think before you type

[Shadeam]

Are you allowed to post sprites here? I couldn't find a seperate section for them.

[Shadikku]

I have a question, If you made some art that doesn't have to do with Sonic Etc. Is that still allowed?

[Kursed]

It should be aloud, I see nothing wrong with it.

[Black Knight]

Well as the maker of the fanart rules, in other words I, have a thread filled with drawings that is none-Sonic related, I'd say yes. ^^
