Hi, just a quick journal I'll keep for a while, asking about selling the rights to one of my works.

A short while ago, I was offered by someone to buy a "license" to use this on their game-site. I first offered that I would make an original peice just for that, however they wanted this one in particular, so I let them buy it and scored myself 50 bucks

However, they only bought it so they can
use it legally. Now I'm being offered that same amount of money AGAIN for them to buy the exclusive rights to it...I am still able to keep it in my DA gallery, and sell prints too - But it ends there, that means that if I sell the exclusive rights to them, I CAN'T let anyone else buy or use this artwork at all...no matter how much I'm offered in cash

Part of me says "
Do it, it's an easy way to get cash off something you did for fun ages ago, and besides, you can always make more thats similar if anyone wants one"... But part of me says "
What if someone offers me a lot of money for that particular image and not a "remake", and I can't legally sell it to them?"...What do YOU think? I'm leaning towards yes at the moment, but I'll ask just in case there's a good reason not to that I may have looked past (it's nearly midnight and I can't think straight

)

WOW that was a lot, if you made it this far, then you deserve a Coke.
Yeah...I need to change this footer lol, hope Pepsi is OK?
A print of the Mona Lisa will usually run about 30-40 bucks...maybe even more depending on the quality. But the actual price of the painting is in the millions.
Think of your artwork that way. You can sell prints for 50 dollars, but to sell the rights would be like selling an original painting. It would cost a LOT more.
My opinion. Its your decision in the end. Just give it some thought. ^^
As much as I like the idea of being "MY" art, I guess the professionals who work for games and movies sell the rights a lot for their work to the movie studio's, and they don't seem bothered. I guess it's like a traditional artist selling their paintings to someone who wants it, it just means that they can't sell it again. But maybe I should say that although he has the rights to be the ONLY person to buy, and use it...he still dosn't have the rights to use it for other purposes than the game and site (which means no advertising or printed media is allowed)
$50 just isn't worth the chance...
