About uploading from Fanbox

Posted under General

Okay so, obviously, uploading images from Fanbox that are locked behind a subscription is against the rule on paid rewards.

But Fanbox also has a profile page where the owner sometimes has a couple sample images that are freely accessible. e.g. the 3 images at the top of Serena Hanazono's Fanbox or the 5 at the top of of Ameto Yuki's Fanbox, some of which there doesn't seem to be any alternative source for. Are those fair game?

When I try, it says it can't upload them due to the page not containing any images. I assume I would have to download the picture, upload from my computer, and then set the source to the Fanbox page, since there's no URL to the image itself?

(I'm also not totally sure who to credit as the artist for the Hanazono images... she's a VTuber, I don't know if she's also an artist but she doesn't seem to have a Pixiv page, but if someone else drew them, reverse image searching is coming up empty-handed. Please advise)

Any publicly available or free images are allowed.

Click on each image to enlarge them, right-click, select "open image in new tab" or "copy image link" and you'll get a URL to paste in the upload form page. Then set the source to https://hanazonoserena.fanbox.cc/

You can add the artist request tag to these posts if you're not sure who the artist is.

Edit: The URLs for the right sidebar are:

I've obtained them with MaxURL

So after a little more digging, I think the unknown artist might be muryotaro, who made Hanazono's model in the first place, and also due to the similarity of artstyle to this image - and muryo is banned. But I'm not sure it's muryo since there's nothing in the source (Fanbox) page to indicate it. Does that make them now off limits?
