We're often asked about copyright and fanart, what is allowed and what is not.
First, let's talk about non-commercial use.
Non-commercial means that you are making something as a hobby, for fun and for free.
Fanart :
Fanart is of course allowed. You are allowed to post pictures and gifs of Mélina J and Baby Dog on your blog or social media.
You can also post drawings of Mélina J and Baby Dog.
For general guidelines about the dos and don'ts, you can use Cymellia Pictures license agreement : https://www.cymellia-pictures.me/license-agreement/, part 2 and 3 as reference and for reference only. (However, remember that here, we are here talking about non-commercial use only).
Fanart of other Cymellia artists :
Dreamy Z, Golden Tiger, Jarany, Mr Computer, and the new recruits of 2019 do not wish to be public figures. We should respect their decision. Their pictures are thus not available. However, official icons (such as animation characters) will replace their pictures. Official icons can be used for free to illustrate blog posts about said artists.
Please do not speculate on their identity, none of them are “previously famous under other names”. This type of discussion should be prohibited, as it's not in any way true.
The Aywutyr, Meowlina, Valentay and other animation characters :
You can post on social media and your blog, pictures that have been released by Cymellia for free. You are allowed to make fan-made drawings, however, they must be clearly stamped as “fan made” and should be clarified as fan-made and not affiliated with Cymellia.
Fanmade theories and fanart must remain harmonious.
Music :
You can use our music previews for free for fan made videos or for non-commercial videos, such as tutorials (makeup tutorial, software tutorials). The track title and the artist name must be credited in the video and credits. You can also credit Cymellia as the music label.
By music previews, we mean the music extracts that are posted on www.cymellia.me and on our Dailymotion channel (which are the same). You cannot use the full songs.
If you wish to use the full songs, you will need to purchase a license from us, through www.cymellia-pictures.me or by contacting us.
If you are related to a Linux distribution and would like to use a full song from a Cymellia artist for a Linux distribution related project (tutorial, advertisement), you are welcome to contact us directly.
Art cover :
Art covers can be used to illustrate a blog article about our music. Or about art coverts as art by itself.
