This is a link to the rules about not being allowed to post copies of things on Gaia.

When you post drawings or art of any kind, it has to be your own work. So please give this a read.

The Copy FAQ

The reason I'm posting it here is that after I read it, I realised I was copying my reference pictures, which is a bad thing to do! It explains that you can use them to get an idea for how things can go, but shouldn't copy directly because then it's not your own art.

So to save other people from the same kind of embarrassment I went through, I have posted it up here for your viewing pleasure. ^///^ Don't copy me...I mean, what I did...I mean, oh, just read it! XD
