MemberI luvs me some Rajii artwork

MemberI don't think Swayzie will approve of this one.
JMay
MemberThis is just about the most perfect picture ever drawn. It would be a travesty to have it taken down. Surely Rajii wouldn't just steal someone's character. I don't see it on his FA page though.

MemberWhy would someone be offended by an artist drawing your character, especially a good artist? Its a free commission.
Gzxhaze
MemberNoooooo :( This is amazing work, but if its deleted, then that's that i guess...
JMay
MemberSeriously. I might say something like, "hey...next time be sure to ask my permission first."
But having it taken down? Kind of smacks of a greedy child.

MemberYou can't copyright characters only specific images. So actual legal recourse with regard to someone 'commissioning without permission'...none. Unless someone actually went through the process and legal expense of trademarking their character. (Don't see that happening)
It's at most a politeness issue.
JMay
MemberWhere did this come from anyway? How did the poster get his hands on it?
rajii
MemberJust letting everyone know that I do have permission from both to use their characters.

MemberSwayzie told me he doesn't want this posted and he didn't know it would be adult.
JMay
MemberSo all this about character copyright has been pointless. Your flag is a bit misleading.
I'm not calling you a liar or anything, but that seems really odd. It's not like Swayzie doesn't let adult art be done of himself (see his scraps), and like 99% of Rajii's stuff is hardcore. A misunderstanding seems really unlikely.
Evan
MemberThen maybe Swayzie should come down here then and say something.
OrdosRen
MemberWell here I am. Yes this is my pic. Yes I got permission from Swayzie. We'd actually been talking it over for weeks getting a picture. He did know it was adult because I was keeping him up to date with all the sketches, lines and colours, so don't pull that crap.
Seriously, go choke on a dick Fancy-Fancy
JMay
MemberI fucking knew it. I could tell he was just meddling.
I'll add the character tags now so people can actually find the source.
ippiki ookami
Former StaffWell what a bizarre situation this turned out to be.
Char
Former StaffThe takedown request for this image has been denied, so let's just avoid any further discussion about this please. :)

MemberRead my mind, bro.
EightyNine
MemberThen he goes and deletes the Swayzie tag off it.
corgi bread
MemberStop removing valid tags from the image, you nerds.
EightyNine
Member"Nerd."
Singular.
corgi bread
MemberYou're a nerd, nerd.
mysteriousbrony
Memberalthough one could claim a character to be creative property and thats another legal matter all together
