Help with license issues

A few days ago, I asked on a group about resources that developers think should have more variety and everybody came up with "more characters". Then I decided to create a character pack, but I'm having a problem. I want to create sprites in both VXA and MV style, so people could use them in any project (inside RPG Maker's engine), but I don't know if I can sell these sprites using VXA and MV sprite's body templates. Or would I have to create my own sprite bodies? But, if I make my own bodies, they wouldn't match VXA/MV style and it would look weird. Can someone clarify this for me? Yes, I googled, but nothing useful came up.

I'm almost positive you can't sell anything that uses any RTP graphics as a physical base (like painting over the base body). I don't know about creating brand new generator parts though.

I think you can sell sprites made from the RTP bases, but I think you can only do it if you're selling through Degica. There's a pinned topic somewhere about how you can do that. One of the things you'll need is examples of your work, and approval takes a while. You could also use an existing base that allows for selling. They're pretty rare but they do exist. I have a tall base for Ace where I allow people to sell sprites made from it (in the subsection for Pixel Myth here in Product Discussion and Support), and I know Despain is fine with people creating assets in his styles.

@Sharm: Do you mean this thread? Or is there a newer one?

 

[Sharm]

That's the one.

So, I'll have to do my own bodies then. Thanks for replying.

Huh? Even if you don't want to sell here you don't have to, did you see the second half of my post?
