Can i display your artwork?

Can I display my favorite skins from this site, on one of my websites?
Or do I have to ask permission from every single artist, every time I add another favorite?

I don't beleive so, but if you display the screenshots I think that's a different story.

You need to have permission.

In that case, Ill submit a post once the site is finished, to see who minds.

If that means you're going to put things up first and then take down the works of those that mind, you're doing it the wrong way around.

Are you talking about displaying screenshots, or distributing the skins?

That's what I was going to ask.

Were you going to post the screenshot and have a link to the skin on wincustomize?

Like a referal

of course thats not what i meant haha. The sites not only for skins, Im making it now. Im saying, by the time I get it up, there will be new skins so why ask permission for the ones now

Were you going to post the screenshot and have a link to the skin on wincustomize?

I wouldn't think posting screenshots with links to the actual skins here at WC would be a problem. (as long as it's not wallpapers)

Not exactly sure, I would think it would be fine since it's a referal. Heck, that will help out the author gain rank on that catagory. But one of the Mods/Wizops have to answer this question.

Wow, 5 mins off on the response. It took me too long.

and i'll get the author's website (if they have one) so it will be good advertisement for them

Even if you are just posting screenshots, it would be considered good form to still ask the author first.
