Need an advice about adoptables

[silv3x.livejournal.com]

Hello, AB! I need an advice about some adoptables I bought from another artists. Recently, I noticed I have some interesting character designs I don't use and I don't plan to use ever, so, I decided to sell them. Honestly, I purchased them because I wanted to support the artists and to have character designs by them. These ones (adoptables) aren't just plain one side pictures, they are good reference sheets. I have a problem with one of them. I wanted to contact an artist about reselling this adoptable, but they deleted their FA page, and I don't even remember their email address (so I don't know how much I paid for this reference). What should I do? Is it OK to resell it without artist knowing, or is it absolute no-no?

I also don't remember any friends of this artist, but I know some people who drew commissions for them. But it's kinda creepy to contact them about their commissioner.

The artist nickname was Nonus, hope it's OK to mention it.

While the above comment is technically true, I'd be wary of crossing any boundaries in the market. Since it runs primarily on good will and the honor system, it's best to respect an artist wishes despite there being no legal standing for designs.

In your case you're doing your due diligence, OP. If you really can't find the artist, it may be best to hang onto the design until you can.
