If you sell a dragon (or character) that happens to have art, it should be specified by the owner whether it is or isn't ok to use said art or if they'd like extra fund for you to use it.
You may own the dragon, but the art was purchased and technically belongs to the user who paid for the commission rather than the dragon it's attached to
For example, I paid a good amount for a headshot and even if I sold the character I'd really like to keep the art to myself. It's great quality and it's mine to own, not the person who takes the character
That just makes so little sense to me, because why would anyone even want artwork of a character that no longer belongs to them? It's not like you could ever use the art, because the character that's within that art isn't yours anymore. If you sell rights to a character, then you can't keep continue using the character. And using artwork of a character that does not belong to you IS theft and that's... messed up. Sorry, but I'd never do business with a person if I knew that they were doing something like that. I've dealt with character and art theft before, and someone wanting to keep the artwork of a character that is no longer their's sends up huge red flags to me in that regard. Now, FR dragons are different I suppose because there CAN be identical dragons on the site, which I guess that a person could switch artwork to if they found an identical dragon more suitable to their lair for some reason. But original characters? Nope. Like, if I sold Novi (the Hyena in my avatar) and then kept all of his art to plaster onto a nearly identical character, that would 100% be art and character theft in my opinion.
Anyway...
Here's a pretty dragon couple to lighten the mood and to be more on thread-topic. lol
