Operation YCM Art Archives (merged threads)

Recommended Posts

[align=center][i][b]Good Afternoon Members of YCM. I have given it a lot of thought and have decided to create a Photobucket Account which will be FULL of Images from Anisearch. The Link was taken down by Bloodrun as it did contain Hentai Images. I however plan to get all of the art I like and Uploads it to Photobucket.

I have also Purchased a Premium Account out of my own Pocket to help upload the largest Images to help YCM out. I will also be more then Happy to pay for this every 3 Months. For now I have been Working on Spellcasters and Witches. There will be a LOT more to follow. When designing cards using the Images I provide please provide a Link to the Photobucket Image. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the YCM Archives. Also I will be requesting a Banner for this Project in the near future. I will also be making the Project Public after I have uploaded more Images.

[u][b]List of deviantART Artists and Other Sites Where You Don't Need to Ask for Permission[/b][/u]
Well I started looking through the deviantART community in search of artists who use the Creative Commons License. Those who have to wait too long for a reply from the artist or are just too lazy to ask for permission can refer to it. Of course it will tone down the quality of the cards in the sense that the images will be overused, but then I’d suggest to maybe take out the picture part of your ratings and focus more on OCG, originality and balance.

Sadly, the number of artists who refer to the Creative Commons License is rather low and most of the images you may come across with are copyrighted. If you come across a picture with the appropriate logo and license description, permission is not required, but you still need to provide a link to the site of the artist and give credit. Of course, the images on the list may not be on the same level as Genzoman, but it’s all we can do. I’m still looking through the site, so the list will become longer.

[spoiler=What is a Creative Commons License?]Creative Commons is a non-profit organization with a mission to expand private rights to create public goods, creative works set free for certain uses.

[b]Offering your work under a Creative Commons license does not mean giving up your copyright. It means offering some of your rights to any member of the public but only on certain conditions.[/b]

All of Creative Commons licenses require that you give attribution in the manner specified by the author or licensor.

[b]Attribution[/b]: You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work — and derivative works based upon it — but only if they give credit the way you request.

The core licensing suite will also let you mix and match conditions from the list of options below. There are a total of six Creative Commons licenses to choose from the core licensing suite.

[b]Noncommercial[/b]: You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your work — and derivative works based upon it — but for noncommercial purposes only

[b]No Derivative Works[/b]: You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.

[b]Share Alike[/b]: You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.

Note: A license cannot feature both the Share Alike and No Derivative Works options. The Share Alike requirement applies only to derivative works.


[u]Taking a License[/u]

When you've made your choices, you'll get the appropriate license expressed in three ways:

1. Commons Deed. A simple, plain-language summary of the license, complete with the relevant icons.
2. Legal Code. The fine print that you need to be sure the license will stand up in court.
3. Digital Code. A machine-readable translation of the license that helps search engines and other applications identify your work by its terms of use.


[u]Using a License[/u]

If you chose a Creative Commons license, the small logo and license description will appear next to your deviation. It will link back to the Commons Deed, so that the world can be notified of the license terms. If you find that your license is being violated, you may have grounds to sue under copyright infringement. The machine-readable translation will be embeded in your deviation page.


[u]Additional Resources[/u]

* More examples are available on the examples page
* Things to think about before selecting a license
* Detailed explanation of all licenses
* Wikipedia article

A/N: Everyone is always welcome to help updating the list. If you come across an artist who uses the CC License, please PM me or the Custom Cards mods.

Figures. While I leave, YCM dies. :(

 

Blah, all my stuff is illegal now. Meh. Guess we had it coming, though, we're still breaking the law using dA at all. I guess this is the kind of thing mods should be doing, and I do appreciate the diplomatic prowess of the moderating team, seeing as we can still use them at all, but... I can't help but be disappointed.

 

Oh, well, what can I do.

All these pics will be overused in 1' date='2,3!

There is free software available for download called GIMP. It's like photoshop, but it is legally free for anyone to use. You can look up tutorials for it and try your hand at making your own art. You might just find a new hobby you enjoy!

Well I can't say that I like it so much myself, but so far, this is the only alternative we can propose.

Obviously they will, but again, this is the only alternative we have regarding DA. There's still photobucket and the other sites we listed, though.
