"Using Chicken Smoothie (CS) images and designs: Never edit, copy, trace, redistribute, or modify any Chicken Smoothie images unless your creation meets the criteria explained below.
It's okay to use CS pet and item images to make something like a forum signature or avatar, but you shouldn't change the colors and markings of the pets/items or edit in any items which don't really exist on CS.
Never use CS images, pets, or items as adoptables for another website. It's fine to show off your collection by posting your pets on other websites, but don't try to sell or create adoptable pets from our images.
You may make fanart of CS images as long as you're not directly copying our lineart. Copying the design (colors and markings) onto a different lineart is fine as long as you give credit to
https://www.chickensmoothie.com for the design wherever you post your image.
If you color a lineart to look like a CS pet you can't charge other users to “adopt” it from you. They may be given out for free on the CS forum only.
You are allowed to create your own "fan pairings" and design "offspring" of Chicken Smoothie pets, as long as you clearly credit Chicken Smoothie for the original designs that inspired your version. You should not sell or profit from these creations, since they are made by blending copyrighted Chicken Smoothie designs.
It is fine to use our pet images for personal characters or fursonas as long as you acknowledge and display credit to
https://www.chickensmoothie.com for the design or images you use.
You may not edit a CS pet image to make your own custom CS pet design. You may make “fake” pets that use a bar with the username along the bottom as long as they are your own original drawing.
If you use CS pets as characters the designs remain copyrighted to CS and other CS users are allowed to use the same designs as their own characters.
You may pay for specifically commissioned art with CS pet “characters” acting as reference material.
Never use a “custom” pet in any way without permission from the custom's owner. You can't use a custom pet's design for a character/fursona because that design belongs to the custom pet's owner."
