Flight Rising Jewellery
Sooo....I've started my own business making custom jewellery \o/ Been disabled a long time and it's time I try and make a living now I'm done with uni...
I've had a request for FR jewellery - basically using the FR elemental clan symbols in pendants such as these:
I have no knowledge or experience in this sort of thing - all the current designs I'm doing are made by me from scratch with a font available for commercial use (yay for uni making us pay for a stock account lol). What's the stance on this? Will I get hunted down by FR for using their symbols? I've seen people selling artwork featuring dragons etc - will I have to sell them for FR currency or is real life cash ok too since they are commissions? xD
The person who has asked me says I can make and sell 6 of any design no problem - I really hate art thieves so won't touch FR intellectual property if it's not right... :/ They can't remember where they got the number 6 from either which isn't much help but they are sure that FR are cool with it >_>

Re: Flight Rising Jewellery
Wow, that is a gorgeous necklace Zhuge!!!
As for FR stuff, this is the new art policy in the Terms of Use:
Art Sales Policy
(Updated 5/30/2014)
You may sell your digital Flight Rising fan art or commissions for both "real world" currency or for Flight Rising Currency.
Note that Flight Rising retains the copyright to its dragons and designs.
You may display your Flight Rising fan art on your personal website provided that you provide a link or the URL text to or for flightrising.com on or near the image.
No more than 5 units be sold of tangible merchandise utilizing the Flight Rising intellectual property (IP) be sold for "real world" currency. Making a piece of fan art or a craft project is fine, but making a business out of Flight Rising merchandise is not.
Tangible merchandise utilizing Flight Rising IP may be gifted, traded, purchased with Flight Rising currency, or raffled (provided the raffle does not utilize "real world" currency) beyond this 5 unit limit, but may not be sold for "real world" currency once the 5 unit limit is exceeded.
Artwork utilizing the Flight Rising IP may not be added to third party, print-service stores. Example: shapeways, deviantart prints, redbubble, cafepress, zazzle, and similar entities.
Artwork sales of original works, -tangible and digital- utilizing the artist's own IP may be sold by the artist and have no limitations on units sold. The limitations above are placed solely on works using Flight Rising's IP.
So if you're selling for real money looks like you can't do more than 5. :/

Re: Flight Rising Jewellery
I really like that Zhuge. Very nice.
I understand where FR is coming from and cannot blame them. But 5 seems like such a low amount.

Re: Flight Rising Jewellery
I think we should be happy they allow anything. 5 is a fair number for using their ideas and such. They're not making any money off of our RL creations after all.
As for the jewellery, that sounds amazing :U I don't have the money to throw around, so I'll just look forward to seeing any pictures if you go about making them :3 As long as you stick to five -total-, you'll be just fine!

Re: Flight Rising Jewellery
Thanks guys
That's why I wanted to check, and I knew you guys would direct me away from anything shady I agree with all the comments above - I don't it's right to mass sell their ideas for RL cash - but for gems and treasure? Why not? People sell artwork after all! xD I have a lot of coatl projects....hmmmm
And thank you for all your lovely comments! I made myself one of these after I lost my elderly hound earlier this year (just a year after loosing my first) :'( I posted the photo on FB and someone passed it on - then I started getting requests! I'm not expecting to be a millionaire, but it would be nice to help my parents out whilst I'm still holed up at home XD
