Regarding 2D and 3D Resources:

Credit is ENORMOUSLY appreciated, but not required.  That is to say, if you incorporate something, and forget to attribute it, I will not be hunting you down and demanding anything from you.  However, I very much hope that you DO remember to tell people where you got this material, as it is a lot of work to create it!

If at all possible, I would love to see whatever it is that you've done that makes use of a resource!

=====

Regarding "The Wanderer's Guide:"

"The Wanderer's Guide" is a free resource for everyone, especially RPG game developers, computer game developers, fiction writers, and film-makers.

If you make use of material from "The Wanderer's Guide," credit is ENORMOUSLY appreciated, but not necessarily required.  That is to say, if you incorporate something, and forget to attribute it, I will not be hunting you down and demanding anything from you.  However, I very much hope that you DO remember to tell people where you got this material, as it is a lot of work to create it!

If at all possible, I would love to see whatever it is that you've done that makes use of this resource!

=====

Developing free resources is a significant amount of work.  If you are willing to donate via PayPal, it certainly makes development easier. [link]

Thanks, and enjoy!

Hello Ruben,

I've read through your messages, and I think I've come to a conclusion.

Notice that I qualified that statement with "I think." :)

I feel that when I get involved in multiple projects, I get very "splintered." I have trouble keeping track of what belongs to what, and pretty soon I have little bits and pieces of various things spread out in a way that even I can't make sense of anymore.

So, what does that mean to you?

It means that I do actually desire to contribute to Soulshine, but indirectly. The way that I see it, this would mean that your team would be welcome (in the same way as everyone else is welcome) to use my materials, but there would be an added "bonus." The bonus would be that, unlike some other project that I know nothing about, you could publicly claim that "The Wanderer's Guide" universe is also part of the Soulshine universe, and is so with my specific, explicit permission and support. The general public, while welcome to do as they will with my materials, has only my general permission - not any specific endorsement. This also means that you guys, as a team, can pick and choose exactly what you want to use, and how.

In this way, I can contribute by way of a single point - DeviantArt, and therefore keep what's left of my sanity. :) You guys get something that you can (hopefully) use to strengthen your marketing pitches (because you could claim that I endorse what you're doing, and if someone checked with me to verify it, it would be true), and I get to just "do my thing." :) Then, if the publishing project goes forward, I would simply trust you guys to do the right thing, and put the percentage for whatever "The Wanderer's Guide" or my other resources contributed into my PayPal account.

I would, of course, respectfully request prominent attribution (in keeping with the proportion my resources are used), and the mention that the materials in question are available for others to build their own universes with.

I hope this is making sense - I should be in bed, but I wanted to get you a reply so that all of this could move along. If you have any questions, I'll be glad to try to answer them. :) Please keep me updated!

Cheers!

wEll my friend...

We got alot of years still till we can say that "we exist" even ...

Then yes i understand the part of not going to do too many things then end in not doing anything at all..

Expecialy time and work dont collaborate so even to do "our project" is dificult.. much more divide ourselfs tru multitaskings..lol...

BUT

Thats why also we have this huge Production to be done the next 5 to 10 years next ...
Everyone of all menbers here as its own project..

But instead of doing "our project alone" we join each project in a massive role play universe .. were all projects belong and interact in histories and characters ...

Then in the continuation who knows what will end with efforts faith and joinventure...

No one here wants to put you working for us at all...
Yu will be working for you in your project ...

But inside of us also...

But then again...
Dude yu got the next 10 years to decide hahha

No stresses at all!
Just have fun and join others having fun with what yu do ...Not doing it alone .. but with join ventures in a multipurposes massive online production saga...

And thats it the souShine Online Production Organism...


...

THANK you so much for ya toughtfull and always wounderfull Large input there ...

Thanks SoulShine! All this is good food for thought, and since I'm watching the SoulShine account, it should be pretty easy to stay apprised of what's going on.

Hello my friend !

Thanks ..

Well our deal is 2 things ...

First try to do a Our universe "main magazine" with kinda Alex Ross like quality [link]

But on digital Cintiq And 3d and draw paint etc ..

And that is our Studio COmercial Purpose .

Then of that Universe in 1 2 years create a open sourçe rpg universe organism online in .SoulsShine.Org ...
Were everyone of the public can participate ...

Developers with their own projects they put into our "massive universes" ... And comom artworkers Joining their arts in collabs ... everyone puting their ideas characters ... And making some gfx Online Magazines ...[link] but on a rpg With literature and Imagery Sense from all the community ...

The community will be serving for gfx production painting to 3d developing and learning open sourçe ... Much like Cgtalk.com
Everyone can Contribute their things to the server ...3d scenes models ... and ideas artworks on their name in 4 basis licençes ..

Public - were everyone can improve open sourçe and develop from your developments you concede ..
Half Public - Were Just people asking yu can use it ...
Half Private - were just you and your team inside us can use it ..
And Private - Were just you can Use it ...

And well on that massive online Multisourçes productions ...
We will be trying to have also like a Rpg php Chose your way online Game ... Were from literature to images Sequençes are Builded ...

And from that Chanel we are then expecting to from the Sequençes of each groups on that construction Platform make several projects , That range sinçe Manga .. at Haguiwara [link] kind of artworks black and withe in the Granov tecnique .. [link] With digital aplied also ...
But just in black and withe ...

As comics as .. Rpg Game Books , literature only ....
We are also expecting make a online everyone custom cards game to play with eachothers make points abilities ...

And all in a massive ambient were helps people join ...
To make projects come true in avery strong toguether team of everyone Developers readers , wannabes all joint in a big grand thing...

And well that as fuel for the mind of the next 10 years !

Alot to do ...
Right now we are just "seying" how the deviantart group develops itself around here .. the grade of entusiasm of everyone on this in everyone join and whatthey can do or not .. "just with the idea" around here ...

Jo we joined that account for analisis and see who is reaaly interested in this and who has strenghts and entusiasm and hard work or not ...

So from there the most participating ones we will be choosing some "subepisodes" production administrators ...

For us as studio to guide and to teach as artists ...

Latter midle next years we will start then building Strong and coeherent things with our .SoulsShine.Org Production Organism start

Right now as the most important thing is the Alex Ross thing quality novel to publish ... We are making a publishing presentation in 2 months so ... lets see also how its the acceptability of our product into the professional market ...

And maibe when we have 2 or 3 magazines done ...
We then can unveil the online open Sourçe Comunitary production team ... we hope in one year or 2 in the max already with some "something" of joint works out of it ...

We will try to convinçe also professionals to do covers for us ...

So much to do ...
But will be cool and this is a livetime production ...
were everyone can dream and make come true ...

---

I was reaaly expecting having you as one of our sceneries and enviroments and scene developers ...

One day when we can reach quality enouph ...
For just that joining us could help your carrier .. and that latter if that in 2 years we have something strong published ...

And most of all as everyone around here ...
Yu will never be working for us But on your own Project But inside of our universe You know ...

Then as everyone ...
If we can do something comercial out of it and publish ...
We will give the percentage of comission acording the % of things that enter in each "open online project publishing" that are your creation ...

But anything yu do tru our online production that we dont use and publish someway ... Yu can take out of here and publish everywere else ....

Well same as for everyone ...

Just this ,massive whoole "idea"
is something that Can - Reaaly Change The production enviroment and ways of work and promote ... online and ofline with it ... a product that joins readers public and wanna bes and professionals on the same productive level ...

And join also alot of areas of intertaiment ... In a open Sourçe way and Then from the open sourçe way making something Comercial ...

Whell the whoole idea is .. unbelievable.

The only thing is ... and most funny is that we dont have "money at all" to do it ...
Well yu are talking here with a very small banrupted studio somewere in portugal coimbra that belongs to a small universitarian but bankrupted also publisher ...

And of course this would have monumental results if we have money to invest ... as we dont and we will not have also at least in the next 3 years ...

But thats also the beauty of it.

Greath ideas maibe dont need money to be greath.

Just a lil willing .. good will and sharing openly in Joint efforts for a better for everyone cause ...

Thanks so much for beying there ...

Well right now as we have to make some serious quality sequencial pages ... to a publishing presentation we will be inactive the next 1 and half month 2 months maibe ...

To see if we can get comercial with any part of this somehow .. so we can start!

...
Than you so much for your support and watching and beying around! Daniel been a honour in everyways to meet you !

Hi Ruben,

I've been thinking about (and still trying to digest) everything that's been said, and I actually must say that I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all. :D

So, I'll just say this. If something specific comes up where I might be able to help, please drop me a line. I can't make any promises as to my future availability (school, my main career that tends to surge every now and again, etc.) but at least I'm another possibility in the list - if you get my meaning.

Cheers!

Thanks Silver, I appreciate you looking out for my best interests!

However, I must gently say that, in the context of my resources and "The Wanderer's Guide," free is free to everyone - even commercial projects. My hope is that the decent folks will toss a little money into the Paypal jar, and I'm not going to worry too much about the INdecent types - because they'll just steal everything anyway, restrictions or not. :)

But, definitely, thank you. I think your terms of use are quite reasonable, and a good guide for what to think about.

Cheers!

No problem m8!
I am so damm bussy that i haven't been able to do something with my DMAland ship collection.

It's for designers to see if there images are being used on the internet.
Read the FAQ but TinEye is for images what Google is for text.
