Hi!

I do illustrations for printed and e-books. Can I post on your resource my original illustrations for works of classics and modern authors, such as Stephen King, Dan Simmons, Josiah Bancroft, Philip Pullman, etc. These works have never been published.
best regards
Dmitriy.

Most likely, all resources have the same rules...

No, but all stock sites have the same or similar rules.If they would accept your work, it would be open for commercial use of any kind. You do not control the use and others don't neither. The buyer can do with the asset what they wan't, limited only by the licence terms. They impose only a few restrictions on what can be done.

 

Behance and other social media is different as it is your place to expose your work. It's not directly a market place where you sell a licence to your work, that will need to be negotiated individually with you.

I doubt it, given that one is not allowed to mention the names of authors or artist in their keywords or titles. If you didn't mention any names, and if it isn't obvious that the illustrations are referencing a particular book or a scene within it, then possibly. But without seeing a sample illustration, it's difficult to know for sure. But based on your question, I do see some IP issues would be involved.

It's not possible to publish that on Adobe stock.

Read the Adobe Stock Contributor license agreement to determine whether your works are suitable for upload. You must have full intellectual property rights for anything you submit. If you created those works for someone else and gave them copyright you cannot submit to Adobe Stock.

These are my original images. I didn't create them for anyone. Now, if they buy them, then that’s another question, but for now they are 100% mine.

Note that for works of art, you will also need to provide a property release to clarify that you are both the owner and the author of the original works in questions.
