Topic: Question about my commissioned art that is on here

Posted under General

I've found a piece of art on the site that is actually my character (the piece that is my avatar). I'm okay with that being here, in fact I'm flattered that someone liked the piece enough to post it themselves, but I was wondering if I can add a link to the post on my FA in the sources section of that piece.

Also, am I allowed to post other works I've commissioned, provided the artists aren't DNP?

I'm new here, so sorry if I've asked this in the wrong place. Any links to a guide for new users would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can post anything as long as it's not commercial content (so commissions are 100% okay to post, but things like art packs and Patreon exclusive content aren't, unless of course the artist later posts them for free) or on the DNP list.

Okay, thank you.

You can also post your purchased commissions from DNP artists if you show administration your proof of permission from the artist to post. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

Good to know. I've only commissioned one artist off of the DNP list, so it really isn't that big of an issue. Most of the artists I've commissioned are already on e621 in some form.
