The following things are ALWAYS OKAY WITH ME!!! So you don't!!! need to ask me for permission for these things ever!!!! (Seriously don't please help me cut down on my 9000+ messages)
- Sharing my art anywhere online (credit appreciated)
- Copying/referencing my art for educational purposes (credit appreciated)
- Using my art as your avatar or Facebook cover or desktop wallpaper (or whatever other personal use)
- Getting a tattoo of my art (photos pls)
- Printing out my art from online files to decorate your whatever (seriously it's okay I understand not everyone can afford to buy prints)
- Using my art for… like… SIMS?? Or as custom thingys for games? I swear I got some questions about this but yeah uh do what you want
- In fact the bottom line is I really do not care what you do with my art at all as long as you give credit and don't 1.) purposely remove my signature or worse 2.) CLAIM YOU DREW IT YOURSELF ok seriously I will kill you
- Everything else is usually a-okay tho grasshoppers (◡‿◡✿)

lol vaguely guilty. I feel the same way but I try to rationalize it since I'm not selling it or claiming it as my own.

That's cool of you to make a statement about this... a lot of artists leave it more ambiguous so yeah!

But.. what if I want to get a tattoo of your face?
(jk. Though wouldn't that be cool/creepy?)
Also, I love you. And I'm sorry I don't send you 9K messages to that effect. <3

Cool!
Sounds very much like a Creative Commons Licence - specifically the Creative Commons Attribution licence. CC Licences are really useful, because they give you a simple way of pre-emptively unambiguously giving permission to make certain uses of your work, while retaining other rights to yourself. Have a look at creativecommons.org/
Using CC licences is pretty easy - dA has an option to use a CC licence when you submit a deviation, but elsewhere, just put something like "this work is released under a Creative Commons Attribution Unported 3.0 Licence" with a link to the text of the relevant license on the Creative Commons site.
I use the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike licence on my stuff - which allows people to share and alter my work, as long as they give me credit, don't sell it, and share what they make under the same licence.
I gotta say, this is a refreshing change from all the rather petulant "STOP YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO USE MY WORK IN ANY WAY" statements that a lot of artists seem to go for here. I get that no-one wants to be ripped off, but there's a difference between protecting yourself from having your work de-attributed and sold for someone else's profit, and being the kid who brings a ball to the park, but then can't play with it because that would mean letting go of it or letting someone else touch it.

9000+ messages...
Well, I can understand your popularity! It would take me a week to read them all or even reply to some. Propably you would get a huge amount of new messages during that time again, what restarts the endless circle.

Thanks a lot for sharing (and for caring)! Your art is great!
Have you ever thought of licensing your work under a Creative Commons Licence ? ( see creativecommons.org/about )
Cheers,

I don't think many other artists as popular as you are on here would be so chilled out about all of this kind of stuff
