Using my Works

All works (artworks, creative writings, character designs, etc.) that I create are my intellectual property (IP) and are protected by copyright law.

This page has some guidelines about what I allow with my work. Sometimes, there's a fine line between something I would allow and something I wouldn't though. So ultimately, I reserve the right to request takedown of any publication of my art if you haven't directly asked me for permission. If you're not sure, feel free to send me questions or inquiries at any of my contact points.

Sharing and Crediting my work

You can share the HD version (~1920 x 1080 px) of my artworks online if you credit me with my name "Nyx Aurelia" and link my website/social media. HD versions are always available from my website and social media.

Any higher resolution versions of my work should only be available through my Patreon/Gumroad or as part of a custom art commission. Sharing, posting, uploading, mass-printing, or otherwise making them available publicly is not allowed for any purpose.

You can use my art for YouTube music/gaming video thumbnails/background so long as I'm credited properly in the video or description. For other YouTube videos or other platforms, ask me directly. (Either way though, I'd also love to hear if you're using it!)
Since it's a common question: you may use my art as your device wallpaper or print to decorate your personal space - as long as you get the art file from the proper sources.

Commercial Use

You may never try to sell products/services, brand yourself, or otherwise profit with my artworks and other IP in any form, unless you have discussed with me and paid for the right to do so. Some examples include:

Physical items such as posters, prints, T-shirts, books, etc.
Digital products/works such as wallpapers, e-books, music album art, games, etc.
Branding & advertisement like mascots (including VTubers), logos, ad/product videos, promotional posters, etc.
Even for projects that are nonprofit such as free-to-play games, charity projects, etc. you must discuss with me first.

If you want to use my work for these purposes, or for other purposes beyond just showcasing my work, you must contact me for proper licensing and permission.

Art Studies & Fanarts

Studies are redraws/copies of my paintings done for practice. Fanarts are drawings of my characters and other designs done by other artists. Both are welcomed as long as I am properly credited with my artist name.

Plagiarism is never welcomed - don't copy my IP and try to pass it off as your own original work. And with that said, you can't use these kinds of works commercially unless it was part of a project with me.
