What's the policy on sharing fanart in the Forums?

Post » Tue Jan 19, 2016 8:41 pm

I read the forum rules and guidelines yet am still a bit confused on where the moderators stand on this subject. I feel that someone (heck, it could be me) should make a Topic in the General Discussion forum where we can share Fallout 4 fanart...or at the very least I would like to share my first attempt at FO4 fanart. It sounds like screenshots can be shared (via a hyperlink, no actual images are able to be shown in the forums), but then there's the rule against "advertising", which confuses me a little. If I share a piece of art from my account on deviantART...is that benign, or somehow "advertising" the site? I also couldn't find anything in the rules about the sharing of artwork in general...

You can share fan art (and any other Fallout community creations) http://www.gamesas.com/forum/42-fallout-artwork-and-fan-fiction/



An example of advertising would be only sharing your deviant art page without having any sort of relevance to either Fallout, The Elderscrolls, DOOM, or other Bethesda published products.



So while you're perfectly fine and encouraged to share your art work for Fallout, you aren't allowed to advertise any of your own initiatives or pages. Feel free to add it to your signature though. :)

Thanks for the information! I now have made a Topic in that forum. Shared my drawing of Danse, and invited others to share similar work. :)
