Dream Submission Guidelines Question (original thread locked)
Still images
Friday, February 24, 2017 by lorddayradon | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
I have read the guidelines submission thread. This issue is not addressed anywhere that I could see. I could not post my question there as the thread is locked.
I have a question about the submission guidelines as it pertains to still images. I'm an amateur hobby artist, and frequently I find images that I like. Many times, they are "incomplete" for my imagined use. If it was a person for example, they may be missing an arm lets say. either it's supposedly off screen/canvas or hidden behind something in the image.
I frequently add missing portions, remove say a shield and add in the arm that is missing. partialy through my own creativeness, and partial from copying portions of the other arm flip/rotate/stretch/liquify, and then manualy paint them pixel by pixel to make them appear natural and as if they were part of the original image.
I also will animate the stills in the same manner, liquify for breathing, creating my own eyelids for blinking.
technically the "video/animation" is my own creation as any copyright entitlements would be on the original unedited, unanimated object.
Logically I would assume that credit would need to be given to the original artist for their portion of the still image.
How do the guidelines apply as I can not post any url to any video as the original artist is technically me when it comes to "video/animation"?
I can post an example if required but I'd hate to have idea/content ninja's pounce.

You are so annoying in so many perspectives. Simply attached/linked/stated the ones that weren't your creations is that hard to understand??
Again, a response that fails to answer the question asked. Is that EULA/TOU an acceptable EULA/TOU in Stardocks opinion?

The EULA and its linking/inclusion is what is REQUIRED to be included WITH the submission.
THAT is the TOU that you are required to abide by on THIS SITE.
THEIR EULA grants the permission...our TOU allows us to accept that permission.
Most times the issue with 'interpretation' of an EULA is that some people do not understand the legalese and only ASSUME permission is given for their specific usage, which is often NOT the case.

This I knew from reading the previous thread.

This is what I required clarification of. Thank you.

I can agree with that. I'm not one of those people.
Again, thank you.
