Are we aloud to ask for peeps to make signs for us in this forum? If not, what forum do we ask signs for?

if they are free, they go into the art freebies forums.
if you pay, they'd probably be here or the normal minishop forum.

Is anyone else here bothered by the many shops that do not obey these rules?
There are anime banners / profiles everywhere.

i had a question on if we can use any google or search engine pictures?

You've got a nice avatar biggrin .
As to your question...I think not, similar to what I think my question's answer will be...

No, I believe fanart can be sold on gaia, as long as it isnt traced/copied or something like that.

If someone makes a banner using anime images just as their samples but not to sell for gold, would it still be against the rules?

I must say that things like actors or people from "BUFFY" are free for the public to use. We just need to put something like;

Small at the bottom.

How I know: I am with a forum that makes avatars and siggies for permission. We use artists work which we get written permission for. And as well we also use celebrities that are open to the public.(ALL celebrities and tvshows and movies are open to the public to use, just put copyright) everything we do we put copyright's in.

And if you ever want to use a painter's work you must contact that painter and get permisson, then put the copyright in the work, and possibly a very small link to their website (if they say to do that)

That's the legal way. You should really add that in your post.

One small question: When the rules stated to NOT use copyright image as graphic for profile, does that just apply to not use it to make profit for gold and items (for short sell them) or does that also apply to make a profile using copyright image for own personal use?

"Shop samples should reflect what you're selling. If your samples show copyright images, then you should explicitly state that you will not use such images in your actual images. Better yet, make samples which don't have copyright images."

"In short, you CAN:
* Use drawings including fanart you made yourself
* Use drawings including fanart that others have drawn if you have their permission
* Use images off Gaia, e.g. official Kiki images, banner images, NPC images etc. This includes the usage of any Gaia avatar makers as they utilise Gaia's graphics.
* Use drawings, stocks etc for your own personal use or for others for free. You must not charge them anything in this case. Please make such shops in the Art Freebies sub-forum."
