Hello ALIENS 👽
We have seen an uptick in art being posted lately that is using inspiration from art/photography etc. found on the internet that is not being referenced in the post. This is a very grey area in art and there is a lot of nuance but all of our community members are volunteers so we ask that you make it easy for us! We want to curate your posts but if there is any doubt we will pass :)
There is nothing wrong with using an image or another artwork for inspiration/ reference and it is a very common practice, however... if you are creating basically a 1:1 representation of someone else's artwork or photography you should include the image or at a minimum a link to the original and clearly state in the post that you used a reference.
TLDR? If you used any reference for your art please clearly state it and include the original or a link
AI ART
The same rules apply for AI art, we love AI and all it's potential but ask you to clearly state if that's what you used. The art in this post's thumbnail is made by AI, see how easy that is? ;)
Warning / Muted post / Ban
We will be addressing these accounts on a case by case basis but we will usually give out a warning before taking any action, repeatedly being deceptive can lead to a ban from the community
Be a good alien, cite your sources!
Thank you for your cooperation!
