Rules for using my bases:
Properly credit me.
This means to mention my username in the description. Do this by putting @-xteysockies :iconxtey-sockies: or :devxtey-sockies: (without the -). Do not just leave a link in the description, and don't just put XteySockies. If you do, it won't run through the mention system.
Don't link back.
If you mentioned me properly, there is no need whatsoever to link back. Just. credit. Me.
Don't use anywhere but deviantART.
You can only use my bases and post the doll* here on deviantART. This means do not post it on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and any other website.
_{*A doll is a used base.}
You may frankendoll* as long as it's alright with the other artist.
You must get the other base artist's(s') permission(s) before taking off parts and you must credit them.
_{*Frankendolling is where you take parts of a base - such as horns, wings, eyes... etc. - and put it onto another base.}
Don't repost the blank base.
Use it. Don't repost it anywhere whatsoever. Including different websites.
Don't ask to use it.
It's a base. I didn't make it for people to NOT use it. :/
Don't request bases.
I will almost never have requests open. Most of the time I have commissions open though. You can commission a base.
Use the freaking curve tool and spend time using the base. I hate sloppy dolls.
I spend time making my bases. You should spend time dolling. Never, ever, ever, EVER use the brush tool. Always use the curve tool.
Don't know how? Here's some helpful tutorials:
fav.me/d5eu7px & fav.me/d5evrt5

You may use them for adoptables/commissions.
But only   or free adoptables/commissions. No cash adoptables/commissions.
All my bases are MS Paint friendly.
Click the download button, copy and paste the base, open it in paint, and doll away. It should not come out with leftover pixels.
You may use my bases for collabs.
You must credit me, tell the collab users to credit me, and make sure they do.
If I say in the description to credit the original artist, do it.
Credit both of us if I say so.
You can use the base to make it into your style.
(Example: fav.me/d65eh1r)
As long as you credit me for the original and NOT let others use my part. They can use yours (if you said they could), but if they want to use mine they'll have to come back to the original.

FAQ:
Why do you disable comments?
So people don't link back, mainly. If you credited me properly, there's no need. I just end up getting two messages eacvh time.

I think that should be all. If I forgot a rule, tell me. Happy dolling! .3.
