A way to search for Creative Commons art in DA

:iconfbgbdk4:

A simple way to search for creative commons art in DA, is to use Google advance search.

Put it in you google.com search:
"This work is licensed under a Creative Commons" site:deviantart.com

Click the word "Images" in the left of the google page. It will show images instead of pages.

Voila. You'll see all images under CC in DA.
If you want to be more specific in your search, you can add words in the search above.

It doesn't compares with an in-site feature, but at least it is a workaround...

I just want to ask, is it considered fair use if I were to save an art piece to a flash drive from an this site but had no plans distributing the picture or using it in any kind of work? (as in for private viewing only and not using it for distribution)?

Hi there. I am new to deviantart and am looking for emoticons and wallpapers for an application which will be launched internationally. After seeing the work on here, I decided to ask someone if they interested to provide me with this. In turn you will get huge exposure and a link to your work. Please let me know if you are interested. Kind regards. Arno

Please follow the licenses on each of the works. Lots of works specify how they should be attributed and what you are allowed to do with the works.

No extra permissions are required.

If you have a specific artwork in mind, then get in touch with that artist.

One thing I have noticed, particularly with some folks who post stock art: their photographs are licensed under a CC license. However, if you read their profile or other links they have about terms, they say that you can only use their art on deviantart.com, and any use off of the site requires their permission.

This is, of course, a contradiction. What's the right approach here? Given that the art has a CC license on it, they've effectively *given* permission to use it *anywhere*, as long as you abide by the terms of the CC license. However, given that what they say in their profile contradicts that, I begin to suspect that they didn't understand the CC license and don't really want to release their art under those terms.

What do folks do when confronted with this contradiction?

Mention it to them, use the work anyway. You can only use the work with the legal framework provided.

You can, your expression if a unique copyrightable material and you own that. Say for instance if I drew Mickey Mouse, Disney might have objects and I might be able to defend myself in court, but Disney would not be able to use my art, even of their character, without my permission.
