so, i made a post about this a few years ago, but with the resurgence of people charging for rp graphics/commissions, i thought i, a professional in the design industry, would pop in and say my piece again.
straight up, no doubts about it:
charging someone for graphics that include photos you don’t have the rights to is illegal.
charging someone for graphics that include fonts you don’t have the rights to is illegal.
charging someone for graphics that include textures you don’t have the rights to is illegal.
i’ve seen the first argument: “i’m not charging for the final product, but for the time that went into making it.” that doesn’t matter. if what you’re handing off to a client includes stolen imagery (because that’s what those celebrity photos you found on google are — stolen), you’re profiting off of that stolen art, and that’s illegal. you’re re-selling an image that doesn’t belong to you, no matter how much you modified it. if someone in the design industry were to use a photo of nina dobrev that they don’t own in an advertisement and sell that to a client, who put it up on a billboard, they could face legal action. no matter how much smaller the scale is here, it’s the same kind of transaction, and you can’t do it.
i know, i know: “so, jade, does that mean all rp graphics are illegal?” i mean.. it’s definitely not awesome ethically to be using other peoples’ photos in this capacity, which leaves rp graphics as a whole in a bit of a grey area, but i think the line is drawn at profit. if you’re giving these graphics away for free, or making them for personal use, that’s one thing — it’s when you get to the point of making money off of other peoples’ work like this that you start getting into dangerous territory.
think of it this way: you know how upset you get if someone reposts an edit or a gif that you made, without crediting you, right? how would you feel if that person not only reposted, but was making money off of your work? and you weren’t? not cool, right?
here’s argument number two: “but jade, i’ve included a disclaimer for my commissions letting people know that i don’t own any of the images in the graphic!” again — doesn’t matter. that would be the equivalent of me hand-knitting you a scarf, but delivering it to you in a purse that i stole from a store window, then telling you: “you’re giving me money, and i’m giving you the scarf and the purse in exchange, but just so you know, i don’t own the purse! i only made the scarf! $20 please!” admitting a lack of ownership over someone else’s property doesn’t change the fact that it’s stolen.
ok, so now i bet you’re thinking: “but, commissions really help me out with a bit of extra money. is there any way i can do them legally?” the answer is, yes! here’s what you need:
open source fonts: just a quick google of this phrase will show you countless fonts that are open source, meaning they’re free for the world to use and modify, including for commercial use — remember, selling your graphics means you’re now into the territory of commercial use, so avoid materials that are okayed for personal use but not commercial.
creative commons images: flickr and google, among other sources of photography, offer filters for creative commons, which is a license that allows you to use a creator’s images under certain conditions. there are many types of creative commons licenses, but what you’ll need is one that allows you to modify images for commercial use.
royalty free images: there are plenty of websites that provide you with stock images that can be used royalty-free, at no cost to you.
what’s missing here? those images of celebrities that we all seem to rely on, which is the one thing i don’t have an alternative for. what i do have, though, is a workaround: rather than selling a full set of completed graphics, you could easily sell a template: the psd file, which does not include any celebrity images. you could include royalty free or creative commons images as placeholders, or a simple box that says “your image here” — what your client dies with the file once it’s in their hands is for their own personal use, and not part of your transaction.
to make a long story short: stop selling images that aren’t yours. it’s not cool.

“One day, you will become a fine ruler of this land.”
“I need no king/queen.”
“You should do something about those revolts.”

“My king/queen, do not fret for there will be no one else I would rather die for.”
“Kings/queens do not weep so weakly.”
“I am not the true king/queen – I am merely their body double.”
“Oh, sweet Prince/Princess, would you care to be mine?”
“The king and queen have arranged it – you will be married to the child of the opposing nation so that peace may come to both our kingdoms.”
“In a few hours your head will roll through the town square – what say you, deposed one?”
“You are the king’s illegitimate child and I have come to collect you.”
“My name is unimportant – you, tyrant, will die today by my blade.”
“Oh, cruel majesty…for your selfishness and evil ways, I place a curse upon you and your house…”
“Royal balls are such a bore, aren’t they?”
“I wonder what it’s like beyond the palace walls?”
“You are hereby condemned, exiled from this kingdom, stripped of your title for crimes against the kingdom.”
“Oh, highness, do not shed anymore tears – I am here to rescue you.”
“As per the rules of the tourney, I am granted one wish: I wish to marry your son/daughter.”
“Let’s overthrow the king together, shall we?”

In this world. Had she come across a dimensional hopping demon or witch?
“Wait, what? Doppelgangers?“ She didn’t like the idea of it, but she’d prefer that to the latter. If by any chance some witch was making magic to sabotage the lives of the wolves of Los Angeles, it would be seen as an act of war against the dominant species who was ultimately in charge of protecting the entire supernatural population of the city. Oh, she did not need this.
“I’ve known Tommy my whole life, and I can confirm that he’s never had anything done to him to alter his looks. Trust me, he’s kinda vain like that.“ A laugh as she thought about one of her oldest friends. That faded when she took Jewel into consideration. She knew that the face that belonged to the witch now wasn’t the one she was born with and she’d even gone by many names to protect herself. It was none of here business so she never bothered to ask Jewel the She’d trust her over this stranger anyway and knew she wouldn’t purposely look like someone else especially with the danger she was in. She wouldn’t push that onto them.
“I need a smoke.“ She put her hands on her stomach, reminding herself that she couldn’t at the moment. “I’ve also looked like this my whole life too.“ She quickly added once she realised she’d spoken for everyone but herself. “So, my head’s kinda spinning,” pregnancy nausea didn’t help this at all, “can I ask just who these people are? Your sister, her chosen, in your words, and aunt?” She swayed a little after speaking. She really did need to sit down.
“Yes, a double or counterpart of an already living person, or I suppose you could be a shapeshifter, but usually you could go into any form. Not just a person or whatever creature you can shift into.” Frederick explained as if he were discussing the weather, complete with a shoulder shrug.
“And I’ve known my twin sister, Killian, and my aunt the entirety of my life. I would know their faces anywhere.” He pointed out, crossing his arms over his chest. He could understand the doubt in her voice. Even for the Prince of Asgard, this situation was weird. But this was what the situation was. Now, they just had to find a solution.
Green eyes sharpened as the stress started taking a physical toll on the woman who looked like his sister. His eyes moved toward her obvious and pregnancy bump, and his eyes flashed golden for a nano second. As the god of fertility, he could sense a fetus’ health among other things. “Yvette,” He raised his gaze to hers, his voice calm and non-threatening. “You need to calm yourself. Your baby does not like you stressed.”
Bending down, Frederick grabbed a handful of stones, and a few twigs. Throwing the debris up in the air, he spoke the spell clearly so the other could hear. “Creo sella.” Runes glowed clearly on his arm as a chair materialized from the debris. Once it solidified, he looked at the alpha female sternly. “I will explain who I am, and who my family is, if you sit down. I really do not wish for your family to think I have harmed you.”
"By tomorrow morning, the kingdom will be yours."
He could hear the seagulls calling to one another on the beach that surrounded part of the Asgardian palace. The sun was shining through the balcony, warming Frederick’s chambers. They had arrived through the portal weeks ago--he and his elder sister, at least. Joanna hadn’t been interested in returning, and Freya..well, his twin didn’t trust him. The distrust was well deserved, but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt him. Ingrid, however...Ingrid was the one to search to figure out how to re-open the portal, allowing Frederick to return to the only home he had ever known...Midgard wasn’t really a home to him, the way it was to Ingrid. Which was why it was all the more surprising that she came through with him. And stayed.
But his sister was always surprising him. It had been that way since they were young. Suddenly, he realized he had been sitting on the soft, plush sofa. Staring at her while in thought. Right. His coronation tomorrow. It was his job to rebuild the kingdom after his grandfather tore it to shreds.
“...Yes, I suppose it will be.” He finally said, tilting his head up to look at her. “But only in name, Ingrid. The kingdom..” Emotion took over his voice as he turned his head, gazing out at the sea. Finally the sea was peace. “..The kingdom, it will always be a home for you, Ingrid.” He turned back towards her, green eyes sincere. “I hope you know that...If you had been raised here--if the curse wasn’t ever cast...you’d be wearing the crown tomorrow. I never expected it to be me.”

“Think I can’t fight for myself?” Frederick couldn’t help but respond with a teasing smile.

“I do not care if our nations are at war.” ~ sif
“But I do, Sif!” Frederick sighed in response, pacing along the beach. The waters were choppy, responding to their prince’s mood. “If it were for any other reason, our situation would be fine--seen as merger by the government. But now that Grandfather has declared war due to personal insult, I am unsure if we can fix this.”

“I will marry you. I shall make it happen. Somehow.” ~ sif
His lips twitched into small smile as he hung up his trition on the wall as Sif hung her weapon behind him. “If nothing else, Grandfather has to respect your determination, darling.” He turned and raised a playful eyebrow at her, “I take it the meeting with him didn’t go well?”

Freya wanted nothing more than to believe that her brother was still loyal to their family. That he genuinely wanted to help them. Yet with all that he’d done it was hard to determine his motives. Overwhelmed by the issues at hand she fought back the tears, giving a steely glare to hide her inner turmoil. ❛ It’s kind of ironic that mom is the only doing fine. If you take away the fact that her sister just died.❜
If he wanted too, he could attempt to tap into their twin bond to see, to feel, exactly what she wasn’t saying. It was a skill they had perfected on Asgard so she could feel when he got into trouble during a training exercise after the fifth time of him being brought back by his men, half dead. However, it had been over four centuries since he had tried it, and given the animosity, he doubted they still had the bond. He didn’t need it though, as Freya at least partly explained what was going on.
The prince sucked in a breath, feeling like he had been punched in the stomach. Outside, the winds began to pick up and Frederick clenched his fists to stop the urge of grabbing his trition. “How--who is a responsible for Wendy’s death?”
let us go, into the dark not afraid, not alone. let us hope, by some good pleasure, safely to, arrive at home.

She entered the cottage warily, ensuring that there wasn’t anything that could put her in arms way. It saddened her that things had come to this. Freya hated the thought of her family being divided, especially at a time where they had finally come together. It bothered her even more that she now had to doubt the loyalty of her own brother. ❛ That’s good to hear, because our family in need more help than ever before. Back to square one.❜ Freya let out a forced chuckle in an attempt to ease the tension in the room.
It felt like had been cut as he watched Freya eye the cottage. He would never harm his sister, intentionally. But he knew he deserved the distrust, so he could only sigh softly and stepped back from her to ensure she didn’t feel the need to keep her guard up as high. He tilted his head at her. What had his family gotten into now? “I would have figured with me gone, you’d be safer.” He murmured to himself, mind flashing back to the witch hunters. He shook his head, eyes focusing on his twin. “Freya...is everyone alright? Is mother..?” He didn’t know what he would do if their mother had been hurt or worse by those hunters.
