reskins and my releases

[vashts1985]

now this is not intended to be a "no one is allowed to reskin" thread and i will certainly not defame the process. there are some things however that i need to clarify.

 

first of all you may or may not have noticed, but each of my releases includes a **usage** section that spells out stipulations for re-release of anything i have uploaded. currently i have stated that no reskins/recolors/mesh edits will be allowed without prior confirmation from the original artist, and as some of you have found out, i do uphold these stipulations. please note that this is nothing against you or your work, just simply that some of the artists that have provided these works do not wish for them to be edited. some of them. that means if you have put some effort into a reskin, you are more than welcome to seek out permission to release it, either though me running it by the original artist, or you yourself seeking them out and asking. they might say ok, but then again, they might say no. its up to them, its their work.

 

now, just about everything that i have and will release has been publicly UV released elsewhere, as such you are more than welcome to put a new, original skin to any of them, but if you are just making a reskin, please just remember to get the ok before uploading. never assume its alright. i dont want to be reporting peoples work left and right and im sure the moderators dont want to hear from me on a regular basis, just ask, it never hurts.

 

im posting this because i really dont want any hard feelings, and i certainly dont wanna be a release....well fill in the blank

but as i have myself gone to each of these people and sought permission to use these works, i do have a responsibility to uphold their copyrights and do something about misuse of them.

 

i hope this is understandable, and for those that im currently seeking permissions for, thanks for your patients
