Japanese Background Image Sites?

#1 Post by Lumen_Astrum »

Can anyone tell me these sites? Say like Tasogare Tei and all?
I have all these links in my PC, but I lost them all while getting a new hard drive.

And plus I can't access Tasogare Tei... ^_^'''
It says here 403 Forbidden.
Does it says the same thing on your computer?

I remember some sites, yet I don't have the link... XD
Any help? O:

Theses are Japanese image sites. I don't understand Japanese, so I can't say what the terms are for using the images.
Some of my visual novels are at http://www.the-new-lagoon.com. They are NSFW

Hope this helps. Also, if you find your old links, would you mind sharing? I'm always looking for good VN backgrounds. :)

lol, i could have referred you to a good site that is okay to use bgs as long as you credit them.... but hell, its an 18+ site >.< and there are some bgs with *ahem* pics on it..... Dx

Apparently I was also searching for a good site and all those that i've found good are....... 18+ sites Q.Q Why oh why!!?

This is the safest site i found with a good BGs 8D ----wait, not really safe too.... it has some fanservice stuff but nothing with naked girls or anything going 18+...

About the copyright: As long as not commercial, it is fine to use the BGs. You can use the BGs even without contacting the maker but if you want to, it's okay too... lol....haha..... *runs away*

So you can use them in your visual novel and of course give them credits??(like where those backrounds come from?)
So you really can use them? (im new to this, don't yell :c)

Be careful with any images you find on the web, even if random people on a forum say you can use them, and sometimes even if the website says you can use them. There's at least one well-known pack of "free background graphics" that makes the rounds every now and then which is nothing but rips from commercial 18+ games, and most definitely NOT free to use.

If you're not sure who created the image and you're not sure that the creator gave permission, you can't assume it's legal.

Are Search by Image engines any good at finding out where these images came from?

Google generally does a decent job, but it has flaws. I use an extension in Chrome that allows you to right click an image and search multiple sites. Sometimes I find the image immediately. Sometimes never.

If you cannot find a source (or if it is not in a database of images you can use in CC) it is probably best to not use the image.
