Just to clarify license terms

I really don't like writing blogs and stuff, sharing my thoughts, mood, my subsequent meals... Therefore, instead of writing stuff that nobody cares, I'll focus on practical matters - like my licensing policy.

I publish the majority of my artworks under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0 (CC-BY-SA 3.0). If you don't know what it is - look here. You can also check version in your language.

In short - you can share (download, copy, publish etc.) and remix my art (even for commercial purposes), as long as you meet the conditions below:
  • Attribution:
    You must attribute my work in this manner:

    • if you remix my work: "Includes [OR] Based on [OR] Derivative of [MY ARTWORK TITLE] by Adoomer (adoomer.deviantart.com)"
  • Share Alike:
    If you remix my work (in other words - if you make a derivative), you must share your resulting work under same or similar license.


Of course when you publish my artwork or your derivative, you have to clearly indicate the license, like this:
"Some rights reserved. This work is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0".

If you publish in print, you have to write whole address to the appropriate license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).
You don't have to ask for my permission to share or remix my work. However it would be nice if you could inform me about that. If you would like to use my works, but don't like these terms, just ask - I may waive these conditions just for you (but I can't promise I always will).

PLEASE NOTE:
Although the majority of my works is published under CC-BY-SA 3.0, there are some works that are NOT licensed in such manner. In particular I usually don't use CC licenses to my scraps and sketches, because I intend to create complete artworks based on them. So please, be careful, because for these artworks ALL RIGHTS are RESERVED (you may ask me to waive some rights, though, if you convince me).

If you have doubts, feel free to ask.

Would you allow a Youtuber to print it on a shirt in their merchandise shop with full credit on the description?
