Introduction

A picture is worth a thousand words. And if you’re a creator of any kind, whether a writer, artist, or even designer, you want your work to be seen. So what do you do when another party is using your very own character? First, you could try contacting them directly to see if they are willing to stop using the picture. However, if that doesn’t work out or if there’s no way for them to contact you to make their changes (such as asking other users on their account), then this article will help guide you through the process of taking down an infringing picture or video from YouTube or Facebook while still protecting your rights as an artist who owns the creative property.

You can use your character for whatever you want, so long as it’s not for money/profit.

If you get permission from the template creator and credit them in your piece of art (if there’s something to credit), that’s great! But if you don’t need to do that and are just using their template for fun or personal use, then no permission is necessary.

The same goes for making a profit with your characters: if you’re not making any money off them, there’s no need to credit anyone else.

If, however, the person who made the template has put hours into creating these characters or templates and would like a cut of purchases made with their creations on Etsy (or wherever), then they may ask that a portion of proceeds go back towards them through licensing fees paid by sellers who use those specific designs (or templates).

As for the foundation of the character (the template), a few different rules depending on what you’re using it for.

If your project is intended for commercial purposes, you’ll need permission from the template’s creator before using it. You can usually find their contact information in their profile or shop on Picrew Market. They may also have an “ask me anything” thread on Picrew‘s Discord server where they answer people’s questions about how to use their templates or what kinds of projects they’ve worked on. If they don’t have any permission process, shoot them an email and ask!

Suppose your project is for non-commercial purposes (like posting it on Instagram or Facebook). In that case, there isn’t any need to get permission from anyone first—credit them by mentioning “Template from [their username]” somewhere in your post! The only catch is that if someone wants to use YOUR work that way without crediting YOU back (which could get confusing), then no dice… so make sure everyone knows where all those awesome graphics came from!

For commercial purposes, you need to ask the creator of the template and credit the template creator.

For commercial purposes, you need to ask the creator of the template and credit the template creator. This is because they have put a lot of hard work, time, and effort into creating their character, which they can sell to other people. If someone else uses their character without crediting them or asking permission first, it could result in all kinds of problems, including legal issues.

If you’re making one or two characters for yourself or a few friends, then this probably won’t apply, but if you are making lots of characters that might end up being sold online, then it’s always best to check with the person who created them first before doing so

For non-commercial purposes, you don’t need to get permission from the template creator – but you should still credit them.

If you are making a non-commercial game, you don’t need to get permission from the template creator. But it would help if you still credited them for their work.

While I can’t speak for all template creators and companies, here’s what some of them say:

• [Company name] has no issue with people using our templates in any way they see fit as long as we are credited, and no money is being made. Our license agreement allows this usage, but we can remove any images that violate this agreement at any time without warning or recourse on your part. Please check out our license agreement before using one of our templates!
• The [game engine] API is open source software distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the “License”).http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2

You can use your picrew characters wherever you want, just not for profit!

If you’re the creator of your picrew character, or if you’ve downloaded a template from our website and changed it to suit your needs, you can use that particular character wherever you want. You can even sell products featuring that character—as long as they don’t include copyrighted material (like an image or song) without getting permission first!

If other people are involved in the process (like artists who contributed work), please ensure they get credited appropriately.

Conclusion

So, what can you do with your picrew character? Well, the answer is pretty much anything! You can use your character for whatever you want, so long as it’s not for money/profit. As for the foundation of the character (the template), a few different rules depending on your usage type. For commercial purposes (such as selling merchandise or creating a comic book), you do need permission from the template creator – but if you’re going to use it in an article about yourself or something like that, then no permission is needed! Just make sure that whoever created the template gets credit where appropriate 🙂
