I've been given permission from the original artist to create a colored version of post #587978, I'm just wanting to know if it's against the rules to upload the colored edit to e6 or not.

Sorry if it has an obvious answer, I'm just really careful by nature and I ask a lot of questions so I don't screw up really bad.

If you have permission from the artist feel free to upload it, just be sure to credit the original artist and link the original in the parent field.

Okay, I understand, thank you for telling me.

Add the "edit" tag to be safe. Especially if you tag yourself as a second artist.

There's a tag for color_edit.

There should be some sort of guidelines/policy about what sort of edits are fine being tagged with the guy who edited the picture as an artist. Most of the time I see that happen is when someone edits a censored picture or changes some really small detail somewhere, and I really don't believe this needs to get the person tagged as an artist : It's even worse when those people scribble their name on the picture somewhere how they're proud to have done some quick modifications on the picture, sometimes with their website URL written somewhere.

However for actual coloring edits, I see it less of an issue (Minus that scribbling mention) but it still feels wrong to be shown as an artist as if you worked as much as the actual artist who did the picture in the first place

It's understandable that miniscule edits don't warrant a second artist tag, but when it comes to one person doing the lineart and another person doing the coloring, I think a second artist tag is understandable in that instance (I think that falls under a collaboration). The difficulty and time it takes to lineart and color can be leagues different between artists, but as long as the coloring isn't just lazy flood fills everywhere and actually had effort put into the overall piece, then it sounds fair for the colorist to get credit.

That, and the colorist getting permission from the original artist and giving proper sources and credit (which is true in my case, and I will do).

Collaborations can't be edits since it's an official work and they more than often ask for permission.

I mostly mean on pictures when people don't ask for permission. Can be for many reason like the fear of bothering them (My case here), the artist being from Pixiv and is very likely not going to understand the request or just the fear of having the artist shout at you about how you want to destroy their integrity, or something like that. That's where the idea of tagging yourself as the artist sounds really bad and disrespectful to me

Oh, okay. I didn't see that context on your other reply.

Well, that's not the case for me, I have been granted permission by the original artist S-Nina to color that picture. You need to ask permission from the original artist to make an edit, you shouldn't be doing it otherwise.

It is the same for uploading a picture here, you should ask permission first but it's really just a safeguard than a definitive rule because people tend to hate having their art being distributed or modified.
Since 99,9% of the time I upload pictures of copyrighted characters (Or the artist already has a bunch of pictures uploaded here, so logically it should be fine without asking) I don't ask for permission since I'm relatively sure the artists never asked permission to the copyright holders if they can draw their characters in the first place, that and it just really sounds stupid because no harm is done by distributing your work to other people
