[@va3279]

Why are they not accepting my fan art designs even if there non problem in my design and tags?How can I become a fan artist?

[@azmndesigns8001]

I'm planning to do fan art for Final Space. I watch it on Netflix and it's also got low competition.

[@DetourShirts]

You should do it!!

[@ulysse21]

Just a word of advice: avoid RB if you're making fan art that isn't included in their partner programs. Sometimes you can get away with it, sometimes not. It's rather arbitrary with them, especially if you protest, they will put you in their sights. Their moderators are only amateurs. You may even get reported by other competing designers for your own designs, they won't believe you. Try to report anyone without evidence, they will prove you right. That's how it works with them.

[@DetourShirts]

Totally agree... thanks for your comment

I don’t understand this completely. I see lots of fan art on RB for TV shows not listed under the fan art program. RB even promotes them and they come up in searches. I’m specifically thinking of Amazon’s The Wheel of Time. What does that mean? Are they just waiting for AMZ or the author of the books to send a take-down notice? How is this done?

[@DetourShirts]

People are cheating the system.... they know that RedBubble doesn't do a good job at taking down copyright infringements so they post whatever they want... totally illegal to sell Marvel, Disney, Actors, Athletes, Movies and TV Show stuff, etc......but some people don't care..... and RedBubble still pays them if it sells so...... I think it's wrong but RB will need to be the one that fixes it.

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]
