I have a really open policy, a holdover from my days as a Sims 2 custom content creator and because I’m not insane enough to think I can control what happens and where my art ends up after posting online. However I do ask for the courtesy of a link back to the original post or even a quick ‘sigil/design from heget/squirrelwranger’. I know it’s only a courtesy, but I hope for that small level of politeness.
Now, this is complicated by the fact that a few of my sigils aren’t my designs; the designs are created by Tolkien and I’m just recreating them. It’s still my effort to draw them out and match the colors and shapes, but the design isn’t mine. These few that are Tolkien’s originals I waive the request for a credit or link back. However the rest are my effort in both design and creation.
Still, for clarity, THESE are the Tolkien Originals:
Lúthien 01, Lúthien 02, Beren, House of Bëor, House of Hador, House of Haleth, Finwë, Fëanor, Fingolfin, Finarfin 01, Finarfin 02, Finrod-Nóm, Elwë Thingol, Melian, Idril, Gil-galad, Eärendil, Silmarils
All 112 other sigils that I have posted that you don’t see above were created by me. They aren’t canon. Yes, that means the vast majority of characters in The Silmarillion, both important to the plot and fan favorites, don’t have sigils. That’s why I started to design my own. These are the ones I’d appreciate a nod of credit somewhere if you chose to use them for your own purposes.
tl:dr :
Only 15% of these sigils are not my own design. Most aren’t canon.Please credit my work.
