While we don't {read: can't} police every thread and post for whether a work of art is permitted by its owner to be shown here, we strongly encourage you to avoid posting art here that you do not own {unless it's stated to be for free use} and don't know the policy of its owner. It's quite possible that the owner could come here and issue a copyright takedown notice on your post, and they probably wouldn't be too happy about it. Staff always comply with these as long as the person holds the copyright--i.e. they are the creator of the work.
We have had many, many takedown notices given out on members' posts here. It happens ALL the time.
All posts here are public unless you set your posts private. Anyone can see them.
We are a small, volunteer-run site that just wants to provide a fun haven for people to roleplay and share their creativity, and make friends. While it's convenient to use Google images to illustrate what your character looks like, bear in mind that not all artists are as generous as others with regards to allowing people to actually post their work on other people's websites. They worked hard to make it, and they are within their rights to decide who can post it where.
A note on PLAGIARISM:
This is when you post up writing or art that you did not create, and then claim that you do own/did create the work. This is a big rule break, so don't do it--you could wind up with your WCRPG account shut down.
Artists put a lot of work into their creations. Please respect them! If you do post something you don't own, only do so to show what a character looks like or to just admire its beauty. NEVER claim that you own it or made it--and give credit where credit is due.
To be on the safe side completely, if you aren't sure, just link to the work in question without displaying it here. The artist may appreciate the link to their website :)
