Guide to Roleplay Reference Pictures

[caesou]

are there any sites where i can get gifs from? or do i need to find them via google images? (with of course searching with the usage rights)

How do you find the search tools in Google on a mobile?

I drew a pair of wolves (I took a picture on my camera of it) that I want to post and uploaded my memory card onto the computer so I could access the drawing. How do i put that drawing on CS?

こんにちは！
あなたの芸術は本当にいいです、と僕は特にあなたの画像「(title)」が好き！それは大丈夫だ場合、僕はお願いしたいと思います.... 僕はロールプレイングのウェブサイトのために参照画像としてあなたの芸術を使用することができるだろうか？僕はあなたの信用を与えるだろう ^^ お邪魔してすみません！答えがいいえであれば、それは大丈夫です！いずれかの方法ありがとうございました！
(僕は間違いを謝罪、僕の日本語は非常に良いではありません....)

"Hello!
Your art is really nice, and I especially like your image "(title)"! If it's okay, I would like to ask .... Would I be able to use your art as a reference image for a role-playing website? I will give you credit, and I will link back to your profile. I'm sorry for being a bother! If the answer is no, that's fine! Thank you in any case!
(I apologize for any mistakes, my Japanese isn't the best.....)"

I've made a Japanese form for people who want to request pixiv artists for permission to use their art. Or any Japanese artist from anywhere, really. Feel free to use it, and please be respectful with their response! (...Furthermore, if you need help reading the response, you can go and send me a message.)

This was translated and written by me. Please give credit if sharing with others, maybe?

Also, if you need an alteration for the message of any sorts, please ask me! I'll be happy to help!

(I get the feeling I made it sound too wishy-washy, with all of the exclamation points. Oops.)

Lacuna, just one thing that I know is obvious:
If someone doesn't want you to use their image, why put it on Google? Many people learn copy and paste in primary school, so chances are copyrighted images may be being used by young children without them knowing what copyright is. If someone doesn't want you to use that image, why do they even put it up? If I had a private manga piece thay I didn't want anyone to use at all, I wouldn't post it on Google, Bing, deviantart, etc.

It happens that google indexes photos the same way he does with webs, so he gets the photos you have online even if you dont want to. Lets say you have a blog where you post your drawings and say not to steal them. Well, if they are visited a lot, they will appear in google images, and people will see the photo, but not your petition.

what if its off a show or movie is it alright?

Hi,

I'm wondering if there are "official" sites that explain art theft in plain English, similar to the first post? I don't doubt any of the information; I ask because 1) I've been searching for a couple of years but my search-fu is awful (it's always just that one simple combination of key words that I never think of...) and 2) unfortunately, no one outside of CS takes me seriously if I link to this thread lol I've tried multiple times and have gotten responses ranging from disbelief to curse words, and when I throw links with tons of legal jargon at people instead, they still don't believe me and they think I'm pulling crap out of my rear end lol

I love that we have this information on CS in an easy-to-understand format. I just really want to have authentic links on hand that I can throw at people when I notice that they're unwittingly committing art theft. lol

Thanks!

Hi, I have a question.
See for Fliker... I am confused. The box that you described, that I need to tick, i can't seem to see it, or find it. XD
This thing you described: "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content"
Erm... What...? I'm confused... I'm so sorry, it's just, i am from Romania, and I do have a hard time understanding things sometimes. X3
