Bases, line art, and pre-made resources refer exclusively to content I have created that is advertised as a resource for others to use. This does not apply to other content I create, such as commissioned art for clients, personal art, or fan art. A list of my available resources is kept on my Services page.

When using my pre-made resources, do:

• Credit me via link (canonkiller.com) and/or applicaible mention/tag on social media sites where I am present. This is mandatory.
• Keep any watermarks on the resource(s) intact and visible. Adjusting colors and placement is acceptable so long as the final result is regonizable. This is mandatory.
• Use the resource(s) for personal art, gifts and original character references.
• Use the resource(s) for profit with pre-made adoptables / designs, custom designs, and commissions as long as the client is made aware that a pre-existing base is being use and it is credited properly. Sending a tip to my Ko-fi is appreciated, but not mandatory.
• Edit the resource(s) as desired with the exception of edits to include hate speech / symbols, intentionally offensive imagery, or sexual or fetish themes. Editing resources to contain this imagery will result in a permanent block and any works found with this content will have takedown claims filed against them.

When using my pre-made resources, do not:

• Claim the lines as your own, including through lack of credit.
• Redistribute / resell the base.
• Use on merchandise or other pre-made items, including through third-party sites such as Redbubble and Society6.
• Use for / in NFTs or other cryptocurrency / blockchain / bitcoin-related transactions.
• Use in AI generation, as a prompt, training algorithms or otherwise, to any extent.
• Use hate speech, intentionally offensive imagery, or sexual or fetish themes in content created with my resources, or edit the resources to include these topics.
• Knowingly use the resource(s) for clients who promote or create content that positively represents or condones any of the following: pedophilia, predatory age gaps, or sexualization of thing related to childhood; incest; abuse and / or sexual abuse; hate speech or hate symbols; bigotry in all forms, including but not limited to: sexism, racism, xenophobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, and LGBTphobia; bestiality / zoophilia or themes related to bestiality / zoophilia, including content of fictional feral creatures such as dragons; real-world cops and/or the military.

Breaking these terms of use will result in a permanent block and any works found violating these guidelines will have takedown claims filed against them. In severe cases and when necessary, other artists will be alerted as well.

The following applies to designs I have created and sold either as my own work, in collaborations with other artists, and as commissioned custom work. This does not apply to other content I create, such as commissioned art for clients, personal art, or fan art. If another artist or group's Terms of Use apply (for example, with design collaborations or for designs made for closed groups with specific rules) those rules apply in addition to my own, and anything banned by their terms overrules allowed on my own.

When using my designs, you can:

• Credit me (and any collaborators, unless stated otherwise) via link (canonkiller.com) and/or applicaible mention/tag on social media sites where I am present, when the original design art is posted and on any applicable reference sheets or reference hosting sites like Toyhouse or Refsheet. This is mandatory.
• Resell purchased designs for the purchase price plus the value of any additional content (commissioned or self-created).
• Make edits to the design and / or create alternate forms of the design with your own art being used for these edits.
• @ / mention me in art posted of the character (not mandatory, I just think it's neat!)
• Create NSFW content of designs that are anthropomorphic, humanoid, or otherwise non-feral; not affiliated with children's media; not made in collaborations with an artist who is underage or does not permit explicit content of their work. Please don't @ me in explicit posts.

When using my designs, you can not:

• Resell purchased designs for higher than the purchase price without additional content.
• Knowingly sell or transfer designs to people who promote or create content that positively represents or condones any of the following: pedophilia, predatory age gaps, or sexualization of thing related to childhood; incest; abuse and / or sexual abuse; hate speech or hate symbols; bigotry in all forms, including but not limited to: sexism, racism, xenophobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, and LGBTphobia; bestiality / zoophilia or themes related to bestiality / zoophilia, including content of fictional feral creatures such as dragons; real-world cops and/or the military.
