Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

there's some fanart out there and a lot of it way better than mine, there just aren't specific expression sets outside my own.

i take commissions, including occasionally for icons. i don't want to be a douche but it represents a lot of time investment on my part, which is why it rubs me wrong.

how does asking someone not to use my art in their icons mean they can't rp a character ... ???

Because there's nowhere else to get icons. Your icons may be the only good ones around. Considering DWRP's general stance on icons, can you really blame them for not wanting to be ripped apart for using the only other stuff they can find? If you make them take down the icons, it's either 'run the risk of ridicule for shitty icons' or 'not RP at all'.

Personally I would ask them to credit (so that you can be recognized for the time and effort you put into drawing them), but let the other player keep using them, especially since you know how hard it is to get half-decent icons in this fandom. It is your work and you have the right to do what you want with it, but as the above anon said, making the other player remove them is a dick move.

i think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on that one because i have to admit that i'm seriously rolling my eyes at the idea of someone being forced into not rping because they want nicer icons.

find a pb that's semi-similar. use other fanart. commission an artist. or just suck it up because anyone not rping with you on the strength of your icons is a dingus anyway.

the reason i asked on here is that i feel like people would flip a table if they found someone using the icons they'd commissioned from an artist? but i wanted to get a general feel for how people feel about this before writing anything up. thank you for the input, i really do appreciate it.

find a pb that's semi-similar. use other fanart.

If those are good enough, then why did you didn't you use them? Why didn't you use other fanart? Why didn't you find a pb that's semi-similar? Because if they're good enough for another player, then they should be good enough for you, right?
