Question about DeviantArt

(1/1)

Sunflorazumarill:
I know this is going to sound stupid, but I have a question concerning using pics for previews for fics on DeviantArt. I've basically gone and replaced all the preview pics for such things I've done with related pics found on the Internet, such as here. I've listed in each description where I found the pic, but I want to be sure this is still under fair use and not breaking any of DeviantArt's rules. Is it okay for me to use such pics for previews?

I'm sure it's alright as long as you tell them where you found the pic.

It is always better to be safe than sorry in most cases. As far as I have seen, it seems to be safe.

Though, my friend M@nikku told me otherwise, and that most works submitted to deviantART is expected to be created by yourself. (...Correct me if I accidentally misconstrued your meaning here, M@nikku XD)
