About Avatars

Is it okay for members using avatars from any other sites?

So i just take it from other sites and simply upload it and become my avatar, is that okay? or i should edit it?

Thanks in Advance~

It depends on what avatar you're talking about. If it's something someone made, like a graphic or icon, then you either need their permission to use it, and/or you need to give them the credit for having made it. If it's just a regular picture of Ayu, like the regular scans/photos posted here, then you can just use it without having to edit it. Another main thing to remember is to never hotlink to pictures in your signature.

Actually it's Ayupans~
But i don't know it's official or not or people works, it's said RMX Works

So if it's happens i have to give a credit in my sig for avatars~

Don't worry about hotlink pictures, i've already know that rules~

Are these fanmade Ayupans? The ones people make out of clay? Then if you know who made them, giving credit is a nice thing to do. But if they're just the official Avex Ayupans, you don't have to give credit for those.

^ oh they're not clay, they're just graphics, rem1x does them, I think that lacus have an avatar made by him

but it's nice to credit him

because then other people can find his work and people appreciate it a lot when they're credited~

So, if it's PV's Ayupans is it Official from avex?
Like GREEN PV Ayupan & Rule PV Ayupan...

Actually it's like this, and i uploaded this to my photobucket account, i googling from RMX Works...

Spoiler:

Oh, I didn't realize you were talking about the graphic Ayupans, I thought you mean the little clay ones that people make. I know you've seen them, Pommy!! Then, yes, credit rem1x so people will know he is the one who made the Ayupan graphic. I didn't realize he made them, so I learned something new.

There's also a thread here on fanmade ayupans made by rem1x

Edit: I find that his ayupans for Sunrise/Sunset looked better than the real covers lol
