Guide to Roleplay Reference Pictures

[Zoella]

Just to see if I got it right, we are not really supposed to use images we got off Google?

Pulling pictures off a search engine, such as Yahoo! or Google, is not acceptable because you do not have a source for them, and have no idea who they belong to. As most images are under copyright, this would probably lead you to art theft.

How do you get all the moving images?

How do you get all the moving images?

Moving pictures are usually known as GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format), a lot of tumblr users make GIFs of tv shows and films and although usually free to share/post publicly make sure you check with the original user who made the GIFs that they're free for public use -if they're from TV/films then you can use them but occasionally you may find GIF sets from someone's personal filming/small companies, especially if you're looking for sports or non-famous individuals.

I know I saw the source posted somewhere....but can't find it again.

Fontmeme is a free online text generator that is popular with Chickensmoothians. There are other sites you can find through google as well.

Another question.....how in the world do you work the fonts after downloading?

If you're using fontmeme (or fontveer) once you've generated your text right click on it and select "Copy image URL"
e.g.



If you're using fsymbols just type in your text and copy and paste it as you would normal text, the formatting will stay the same when you paste it. You don't need to/shouldn't have to download anything to use it. Hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions c:

Whats a good site to use amine pictures?

Also:

Say if i use a picture picture that was made by billybob on DA for an rp. The picture i use, billyBob said nothing about not using his picture. What if i but this when using the image. "This is on a reference of * rp character*. Design and character belongs to billbob on Da"

Is this ok?
