If you're planning on posting any images on FD, please make sure you've read the rules first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Images which are not allowed on Fabled Dreams:
☓ Any images which would not be safe for young children to view.
☓ Any images which are excessively bloody, gory, violent, offensive, or disgusting.
☓ In most cases, images containing nudity should not be posted here, unless the naked person is tastefully covered in all the important spots. Any images of a sexual nature should not be posted.
☓ If posting nude anthro or 'furry' art, make sure that no detail in important parts are major
☓ Images which were copied, edited, or stolen from another artist. (for more details, keep reading the art rules)
Using Free Linearts:
✓ It's okay to use other people's linearts, as long as the artist has stated that the lineart is free to use.
✓ If you use a free lineart you must provide a link back to the original source, and acknowledge full credit to the original artist for the lines. You must clearly display this information directly underneath or above the colored version.
✓ You must also follow the original artists rules for the lineart. This may include leaving their signature/mark on the image. Some linearts are for personal use only, or 'not for profit' which means you can't use it in an art shop for deltas or any other profitable payment
✓ If the lineart was not for public use but the artist gave you permission to use it, please provide a screenshot or link to their message stating that you can use it for this purpose.
✓ It is not acceptable to use a lineart that is meant to be used only on another site; for example if the lineart says 'Deviantart only', you can't use it or post it here.
Using photo references for your artwork:
✓ If you heavily reference your artwork from a photograph then please provide credit to the photo by providing a link to the original.
Copying/Tracing/Modifying/Claiming ownership of other peoples art/lineart:
✓ We take art theft very seriously at Fabled Dreams. If we find you copying/tracing/modifying someone else's art (without permission to do so) it will be removed and you will be warned.
✓ Claiming to have made art which was actually made by another artist is not acceptable behavior.
✓ Tracing or freehand copying another person's art to create your own art is not acceptable.
✓ Modifying or editing another person's art without their permission is not allowed.
✓ Using or claiming ownership of another person's personal art, character or fursona design is not acceptable. You also cannot copy another character's design onto a new lineart in order to make it 'yours'. The exception to this rule is where a character was designed specifically for you - or for anyone - to use.
✓ Never edit, copy, trace, or modify any Fabled Dreams images. This includes the banners, pose sets, and website graphics.
✓ Creating a drawing with a similar pose as another drawing is NOT theft, unless it is clear that the drawing was an intentional copy.
✓ Creating a drawing with similar colors or markings as another drawing is NOT theft, unless it appears that the colors/markings were deliberately copied.
✓ One person cannot copyright a certain color, species, name, pose, or marking, unless the creation is highly unusual and original. However, this doesn't entitle you to copy any artwork that someone else has made.
Art for Profitable Payments:
✓ If the lineart you're using was made by another artist who states it is not to be used for any kind of gain/profit or says 'Not for commercial use', you can't use it to ask for pets/items/etc. You can only use it to make free art for people.
Art for Real Money:
✓ You cannot, at any time, sell your artwork on Fabled Dreams for real money.
✓ You are, however, free to link to your DeviantArt, FurAffinity or other art site with payment options, to enact sales there.
✓ To put it simply, this is because there is no way of getting back your money if you did not recieve your picture. Also, this would require giving your paypal or other banking details, and this is personal information which we do not allow users to exchange on Fabled Dreams.
✓ We will not be able to help you if a cash transaction with another user doesn't work out.
Creating an art gallery:
✓ Creating a topic showcasing your artwork is fine, as long as the images all follow our art rules. You should post the topic in the appropriate board (such as the 'share your art' board), and only include artwork which is appropriate for young viewers.
✓ Creating a gallery of other peoples' art without their permission or knowledge is not acceptable.
✓ Creating a gallery of artwork that has been made specifically for you is fine, but remember to give credit to the original artists.
The staff at Fabled Dreams appreciate your time for reading these rules. Thank you.
Any actions taken that disregard these rules will be IMMEDIATELY handled.
