Do you think it should be enforced that when you sell a character to someone and you say do not trade/sell without permission, they should get in trouble if they do sell it?

Honestly I dislike rules attached to characters because there really is no point to uphold them. Not that I plan on breaking any rules, but when you sell a character you forfeit any rights to it, getting uptight about someone breaking rules is only a hardship to you. Sometimes things happen, rules are forgotten, etc. The only one who stresses about the rule(s) is the one who makes them but I never understood why people make themselves so stressed about it.

I don't feel like it's ok to hunt someone down and scold them because all it will do is a cause a fight, drama, blah. If you don't want a character to be traded or resold, don't give them up in the first place...

Me personally I try not to break rules but sometimes it happens unintentionally. I'm not going to refund anyone over it, though. However I simply try to stray from rules I don't agree with or feel like I can uphold, which honestly really sucks. There has been some amazing characters I'd have a perfect home for if it weren't the fact I feel like I have to walk on eggshells for them. I just want to enjoy characters, not be harassed because of them, ya know?

Let me rephrase: If you are not the original designer you cannot add rules and expect them to be followed. Original designer rules are different, however when the character is no longer yours you don't have control over them. Those are treated a bit differently than being passed from owner to owner.

I don't want people selling my adopts, mainly because I myself don't sell them. If I did it for money at some point then I would be okay with people selling them to others in the fan community and such only if they bought/spent money on them (art n stuff). I don't want people who get free adopts just trying to sell them right after getting them for profit. That would get them banned from the community.

So all in all I think they should get in trouble. only if I didn't sell them the adopt in the first place.

hey guys long time no see! i've been pretty busy lately but i'm back for a bit and i have a ton to post.

Do you think it should be enforced that when you sell a character to someone and you say do not trade/sell without permission, they should get in trouble if they do sell it?

haha, no. unless of course the original creator of the design had these rules, and you have agreed to them PROPERLY (aka checking a specific box on another site to confirm a sort of contract). then i do not think that the rules can or should be enforced. especially if you are the 5th owner of said OC and you decide to slap rules on it just because you are iffy on selling it.

when you sell the character, they are not yours anymore. if you feel like you need to put rules on it to "watch" it or make sure no one else gets it then don't sell the character, you're not ready yet.

this doesn't mean i will go out of my way to break any rules, if the creator put them on then i will 100% follow them, but i will not follow the rules someone randomly put on because they wanted to.

@TalonEX Dakota is lovely, goodluck with the trade! quardiian has some wonderful designs, i'm sure you can get a great one!

I made this design,sortof as a coping mechanism? It has elements that remind me of the one i've lost and it made me feel better. Though i'm not sure what exactly i'll do with it.

Also it appears I totally misread the question. Not a surprise really. Cause I am me :'D So I feel I agree with you guys more, as long as you mean the person who isn't the OG creator making the rules.

I have a lot of questions for you guys X'D

Code: Select all

[b]Do you think my Designs are getting any better? (examples in my Oekaki Gallery) If so what else should I work on with them?[/b]

Do you think it should be enforced that when you sell a character to someone and you say do not trade/sell without permission, they should get in trouble if they do sell it?

well first let me say that if someone sells you a character and put rules on it, regardless of whether they're the original designer or not, they should be followed. While they are no longer in control of the character after they sell it to you, if they tell you the rules/terms before they sell you the character and you agree to buy the character, you in turn agree to the rules/terms. if you have no intention of following the rules just because they are not the original creator, but pretend to agree to them anyways, that's kinda super rude? if you don't intend to follow the rules they ask of you or you think you might have trouble following the rules then just don't buy the character from them and there won't be any problems. unless the original creator has a rule that says others can't put rules on the character, there shouldn't be a question about if you should/should not follow the rules.

in the end, you can't really enforce the rules though. all you can do is not sell characters to that person anymore. you can't force them to do anything so i wouldn't suggest getting super worked up about it. it would just be nice if everyone could just follow simple rules without being rude. chances are, if they want you to ask permission before selling/trading, it's because they want to have a chance to buy the character back if they wanted to later. not because they just wanna be super controlling and annoying.

What do you look for in a species?
HaIR. if it can't have hair, i probably don't want it.
also extra legs, arms and eyes. i like halos, headdresses and things of that nature a lot too. and i like when they're big or have disproportionate features (ex, huge paws or really small ears)

@Hnai: Pen is VERY important to me i love axolotls so much wefntjdwoef <33
@Meatiemeats: i love all your oc's all the time omg
@Sixbane: i love that design ahhh how pretty ;v;

[hnai]

iM LIKE? SUPER SORRY??
But pen is the cutest thing ever omg
i'm in love with him and his screaming french voice

by me

I agree with most of you guys about this question. No reason to stress out and make drama at all.
Also thanks everyone who replied on Pen's reference ;w;


Do you think my Designs are getting any better? (examples in my Oekaki Gallery) If so what else should I work on with them?
I don't see your designs around too much, so i didn't watch you growing like i did with Kazoo and many other people on CAAA, but taking a look at your gallery, yes! You seem to have improved a lot <3
Just never give up and keep in mind the fact that develpment is not something fast, it takes a lot of time ;w;

What do you look for in a species?
Something original PLEASE.
Something that hasn't been seen before. Please don't take dogs and add wings or gems and call it a species plz
I have nothing against these, it's just that there are too many dog-things that i'm saturated ;n;

Maybe aliens, or species that come from another dimention, species that are so small that humans never pay attention to them, even if they live among us since the first times. Maybe species that are so pure that only children can see them.
Maybe they use something new as ears? Maybe they use magic or not?
Imaginatioooooon~

PS: I REALLY LIKE THAT OEKAKI SKETCH OMG

Do you like Creature OC's that look nothing like any animal anywhere?
YEs! I really like original things ;w;

Do you ever look for Anthro Art? And if so where?
Yes, i'm constantly looking for anthro art :3
And i usually search on DA, i keep this favorite folder to keep track of artists and comissions. Most of them make anthro art ;w;

Please PM me to claim one of the free characters. This will not be FCFS (one per person).

Also, I have some closed species for sale as well. I'm willing to let them go for cheaper prices.

My species is officially open and finished! Minor things will be fixed and added as time goes, but I'd love for you all to come by the thread here to check it out, and get a chance at adopting this guy below, FOR FREE!
