It is the most reliable source-finding tool I’ve ever used, because it automatically rules out non-sources like Pinterest, Danbooru, Zerochan, etc. A little sad, maybe, (for the artist), but I don’t want anyone to feel bad for breaking a rule they didn’t know existed, or for not doing something that they didn’t know how to do.Īnd if you don’t know the source of an art you have saved, please use SauceNAO.

So if you’ve reprinted art without permission, then I don’t think you should feel guilty. I mean, this applies to life in general, doesn’t it? Knowing something is wrong and doing it anyway.

・Knowing that someone didn’t get permission from the artist and sharing/promoting it anyway ・Knowing that artists don’t want art reprinted without permission and doing it anyway ・telling the artist that you used their art after the deed has been done (I mean, it’s better than not telling them at all, but still…they probably won’t appreciate knowing about that.) ・sharing or promoting art that was reprinted without permission ・reprinting/editing/translating/using art as icons, background, and headers without permission IF YOU HAVE REPRINTED ART WITHOUT PERMISSION, DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP OVER IT!īecause you know now, the things NOT to do: ・using it as an icon, blog/twitter background/header with permission ・using it as a personal (phone, computer, actual wall) wallpaper for personal use only ・saving the art to your computer for personal use only ・make a post on Amino describing the art and getting excited over it and linking to it WITHOUT reposting it. ・request art from the artist if they don’t have リクエストを受けておりません (“not accepting requests”) in their profile (preferably in the artist’s main language, but they can probably manage whatever language you’re comfortable in) ・message the artist in whatever language you’re comfortable in! ・comment on the art in whatever language you’re comfortable in, or leave a cute sticker on the art in question! ・tweet or share on facebook or google+ using the buttons provided within the Pixiv app (this doesn’t violate Pixiv’s guidelines) onto your personal pages Things you can and should (if you want to) do with pixiv art: person when you don’t speak those languages, or you don’t want to ask for permission at all, there are some other things you can do to support the artist. Any instance of the word “tumblr,” you would just replace with “Amino,” which should be common sense.īut if you’re too scared to ask for permission straight up from an artist, you’re not confident in speaking to a Japanese/Chinese/Korean/etc. My buddy Ras has this template here for asking permission in Japanese, as well as links to a few other templates, and links to Chinese and Korean templates for asking permission. You might find this difficult, but lucky for you, there are a few templates floating around. Now, onto the actual asking for permission part.
