1. What are your rules for using your textures?

No rules for any creative usage, non-commercial or commercial, use them however/wherever you want. This doesn't include using/uploading/selling my textures as they are or claiming ownership, I still made them. 
You dont have to credit, but if you want just put a link to this account or use my name Sascha Duensing.

My Social Media and Microstock Accounts are listed here: campsite.bio/siriussdz

Tutorial Feature - TexturizingTextures are neat way to add extra punch on your artworks. They're fun to create yourself or you can use endless resources various artists here in dA are providing. If you're using textures made by other artists, always remember to read and follow their stock rules and credit your source!

Hope all is well dear. Quick question. This texture shows its 5184x3456. For premium texture of full resolution for 30 points, are they bigger than this one by a substantial amount?:

Sorry for the odd question. I had hoped to print on an item using a few textures, but so far they are too small. It says the smallest pixels i can use is 8570x11250. the max is 13500x11462
