How licences are scoped
What's included
An agreed scope of use — medium, territory, duration and exclusivity — set out clearly before work begins.
What isn't included
Resale of original artwork files, sublicensing to third parties, or use outside the agreed scope. Anything beyond the brief is renegotiated, not assumed.
Credit
A visible credit ("Illustration by Outlined by Earnshaw") is appreciated for editorial and brand work, and required for press features.
Originals
Original hand-drawn artwork remains the artist's property unless explicitly sold as part of the agreement.
