Description
So I started this base for a thing I probably won't finish, but I thought hey, base. Thingy!The rules, as attached to all my bases:
You can edit, resize, recolor, and otherwise mutilate the base to your heart's content.

Something about this base feels different from your normal style while still staying true to it. She's a gorgeous base. I love her face and I love the subtle anti-aliasing/shading.

I'd also like to make a quick point if I may. Not crediting a base maker can aggravate them. The more it happens the less likely future bases will be made public. Don't poke the adorable bear!
I LOVE YOUR BASES! Especially in this kind of style. I do hope you'll make more in the future.

so when i saw this in my box one of the thoughts that ran through my head is that it was a really neat pose and would def be thief-bait and here in your comment-section is the very argument that would be had if someone did in fact repurpose this base. weird

What happens if someone uses it and doesnt link back to you? I see that a lot of these rule thingys but no one ever says "or else this will happen"

If they don't provide a link back, they're violating the terms of the usage license, which can be found here . First time offenders get polite reminders to link back; repeat offenders get a notice to cease and desist. If that is ignored, I then contact the offender's hosting provider, or the administration of the website the offender is using, to have the piece removed.
Creator credit is the only thing my usage license requires, even for commercial work created using my bases. Using my bases is considered agreement to the terms of the license. Frankly, it is lazy, rude, and illegal to not provide that link back. I have the legal right as property owner to control what happens to the things I create.

Thats just a creative commons license, it wont hold in court unless its an actual registered copyright.
If its a private server or higher tier hosting, hosting providers require proof that it belongs to you and simply having it on your deviant art page wont cut it most of the time.
Then again if someone wanted to waive your right then they can simply change the outline of your base by a pixel or 2 and poof, there goes your right.
So really basic bases like that have no protection whatsoever considering colors/simple outlines cant be copyrighted.
A base would fit into the concept category, you can claim copyright but it will not protect it unless its registered.

If you're going to argue with the answer, why bother to ask at all? Stealing is a dick move. Period. End of statement.
Basically, if you don't see the point in following my usage license, don't use my bases. That's all.

"If you're going to argue with the answer, why bother to ask at all?"
I found it out as i went along

Its seen as stealing or claiming as your own.
Dolling is more of a collaboration than anything, not crediting the other half of the work done just isn't polite nor fair.

So its pretty much impolite then? I assumed it was something more than that but i kinda had a feeling it was just pure politeness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its impolite and to some it is considered stealing considering you didn't link back or say who the other half was done by.
Think of it as if you drew lineart or something of that sort and someone colored it, posted it and didn't mention you.

Okay so what if someone were to take that base and trace over it? Is it still stealing? If so say i traced over it but added a curve to it, is it still stealing?

Personally I don't mind as long as you credit me but other basemakers are different. If you're unsure of how you can use this base specifically, I would ask dnya.

Im not interested in using i was just curious to what protection those who made it think they have over it.
I personally never ask for credit, why bother.. i made it for the people so why do i need credit for ya know?

With anything you post on the internet its bound to get stolen so its just their choice. Crediting is different for everyone. For base-makers they can spend a decent amount of time working on the base so not crediting them is just extremely rude and could even be considered stealing.
Personally, if someone used one of the bases (my base sets typically take a little bit everyday for a week to finish) and didn't credit me I wouldn't be happy.
Yes it is a resource but that doesn't mean that you should forget to link back. Similar to if you use a stock image or reference for your work.

Besides the whole stealing/impolite thing, people do it to increase their popularity. I always give credit to people, because they deserve it (:
