Hi! and I are making a video about the endangered cheetah and amur leopard for the groups #the-cheetah-archive and #Save-theAmur-Leopard . I was wondering if we could use your art in the video. You would be credited in the video by your deviantart name, if that is ok with you.
Thanks!

Do you mind if I use this as the icon for the icon?

Shadow-and-Flame-86 In reply to Tiguar [2011-06-13 17:45:52 +0000 UTC]

Actually I do mind, please take it down. >.<

why? Because you couldn't be bothered...

1. To just ask before you used the image like everyone else who uses my photos in icons or art does.
2. To give me credit anywhere in the group's info for the image, or linking to the original photo here on DA.
3. Finally to even comment on the right photo to belatedly ask for permisson.

>.<

I am truly sorry for bothering you, I have been trying to figure out how to put the copyright information next to the icon, although I still have not found it after searching It makes me think that it's going to be in the most obvious location and yet I didn't find it xD
I have taken down your image, I will not pester you again. My deepest apologies, I hope you can forgive me.

Shadow-and-Flame-86 In reply to Tiguar [2011-06-13 18:14:05 +0000 UTC]

you can't put copyright into the icon itself, you would need to upload to icon separatly and put credit into the comment below the deviation.

its ok, just think a little before using people's images in the future, think how you would want your artwork treated by others

I love the perspective! Do you allow your photos to be used as artwork reference?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Shadow-and-Flame-86 In reply to Farawaywithin [2011-03-21 23:45:15 +0000 UTC]

yes I certainly do! The only rules are to refer to the original shot and me in the artwork's comment, and to let me know when you're done so I can feature it in my journal and in my special gallery for artwork based on my photos!

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Really great capture!

But knowing what he's staring at, I have mixed emotions - nostalgic eyes of a prisoner with hunger for prowling and beauty of this magnificent animal.

Thank you

It might make you feel better to know that they can and do catch birds through the wire mesh at the top of their pens, they climb up and pull them through! The wolverines do it alot especially!

Heh. Zoo animals watching their outside counterparts is lovely .

The Seals of Skansen dont only have seagulls and other birds stealing their food, they also once had a Squirrel standing on one of their cliffs .

The Male Grey resting there was very amused

But at any rate, this photo rules. You can see his curosity in the eyes and I envy the detail in the fur
