Are Imzy Creature Images & Imzy Artworks Copyrighted???
I am wondering if the Imzy creature imagery is copyrighted, and as such off limits for use (by people other than the artist) in Imzy articles.
I want to make it clear that I have no interest in profiting from the use of this art (even by way of Imzy Tips). Furthermore, I would only use any such art on the Imzy site.
I'm not much of an artist myself, so my drawings are very simple... which is fine for many things. I sometimes assume the role of an anthropomorphic Malamute... and illustrate that character with stick-figures. The other day I got the idea of inserting my stick-figure Malamute into an Imzy land image I found online... as a way of illustrating "Mal's Discovery" of the new and somewhat magical Imzy land. I can show you an example of an image I "doctored" (in PS) if you like, so you can see the sort of thing I am talking about. But I don't want to post that image until I know it is not a violation of Imzy policy.
Cheers, Mal, AKA Steve Ford




They are copyrighted but you're welcome to make whatever you want as long as you don't sell it :)
You can (and should) even post what you make to /imzysaurus
Can't wait to check out your Imzy-themed artwork!
Hi Jaleh, I just want to say I would never describe this as "my" Imzy-themed artwork, since 99% of the "work" was done by someone else...
[Mal bows down to the artist...] :o)
If you are talking about the Imzy logo/Imzysaurus mascot, those were created by me, and it brightens my day every time I see fan art of it :) All of us at HQ love seeing community creations!
I'd love to see what you make!
I'm pretty sure this isn't what you were asking but it is worth noting that anything you make will be covered by (I think) the creative commons act, which is automatic as long as you can supply that you are the one who created it.
I posted the image in the Imzysaurus community... It was originally created with the intention of submitting it as a possible header image for the PhotoPigs community. Here's another copy of that post...
[Mal has been wandering in the great blog abyss for several years after fleeing the nastiness on the Vine... He comes across a very interesting place... with lots of creatures he's never seen before... Everyone is friendly and having lots of fun... He decides to say for a while... Starts shooting photos of the friendly Imzy creatures and all the beautiful scenes in Imzyland...]
Hi, My name is Mal. What's your name???
I like this quite a lot for the photopigs header!
I probably should get the original which is hopefully 1700 wide, so I can remake it at the preferred scale...
