Selling Fan Art the LEGAL Way

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Watch what happened, when I tried selling fan art through one of these partner programs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ponCpIdspM9phJI If you're uploading to Redbubble's fan art program, I suggest you upload the same designs to TeePublic's fan art program, too. *Start your TeePublic shop: tee.pub/lic/IvyLily Selling Art on TeePublic - What You Need to Know: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5LCn5mJqdmWnK8 Redbubble Fan Art Program: www.redbubble.com/partner-program help.redbubble.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001021543?

It’s fun not fan

[@Keeks492]

I would like to find something like this, but for anime

[@Hozanaa]

​​@@Canadian_huskyFans make art of their favourite characters. Called Fan Art !! Not fun art . If u r a big fan of Dhoni and you make his painting. That is called Fan Art.

[@Marie-di5gl]

I wish there was a collaboration so that if you sold fan art, you would have to pay a percentage of the profit to the real creators/brands. They are really losing an opportunity!

[@IvyLilyCreative]

That's exactly how these fan art programs work.

[@Rootfury]

Thanks Ivy that was something that was bothering me quite a lot, now it makes more sense.

[@starshipdjs7524]

Thanks for sharing, very informative and very interesting for me as an artist that has made a lot of fan art but cannot show it.

[@IvyLilyCreative]

I think it's still ok to show your fan art online. It's the selling part we need to be more careful about.

[@realswobby]

Too bad Redbubble accepts fanarts for only old-school brands

[@Trecherousbeast]

I’ve been wanting to sell my fanart, but non of the websites seem to have the brands I’m interested in...

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Did you check the brands they currently have? At least redbubble and teepublic have been adding more since this video.

[@Trecherousbeast]

Ivy Lily Creative yep. It was last updated August 13 2020. Most of the stuff seems T.V oriented, but I’m more into video games. I guess I’ll try to sell original stuff, and hope that something I’m interested in will pop up.

[@theunwantedcritic]

This is just one long commercial for Redbubble. He doesn’t have any legal background so we can talk about copyright infringement or anything like that.

[@IvyLilyCreative]

The video is literally what it says in the title. This is a legal way to sell fan art. And it's definitely not just on Redbubble, which you would know if you had actually watched the video.

[@lrdalucardart]

I have a question, if you sell "stylized fan art"(Said character no longer resembles the original) is it considered "safe" or "illegal"?

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Are you selling it with the name of the brand/character? I think that matters more than the style.

What if i paint anime character on canvas and sell them, is it illegal?

[@IvyLilyCreative]

It's still copyright infringement, but whether you're likely to get caught depends on where you sell it.

[@photios4779]

It's illegal if you paint anime characters originally created by someone else without their permission. It's legal if you either (a) get their permission, or (b) paint original anime characters that you came up with yourself.

So once my fan art is approved, can I sell it anywhere or do all purchases need to be made through the site?

You can only sell it through the POD site is was approved in, but you can of course link to the products from social media or your website etc.

[@jedijrotcinstructor]

What if i wanted to upload ai inspired art. Like mario holding a lightsaber. But call it something else. Is that ok?

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Not sure what you mean with AI inspired art. AI art is not allowed on Redbubble, for example. If you mean selling art you've made yourself with an AI image as a reference, I don't think the reference itself makes it more or less illegal. Using the character is the problem.

[@WizzTizzlmness]

A question about the print used on T-shirts with anime images that are in the stores. When i would like to see other images on the shirts, where to contact someone directly? I would like to use my own snapshots of anime episodes, because i mostly like those better than the ones i see in the stores.

[@mr.youknowwho4230]

Can i buy stuff from a distributor or from another anime store and resell at convention and my store.

[@IvyLilyCreative]

I think need to research the rules of the specific conventions you're thinking of selling in.

[@Itsjanellealiyah]

What about celebrity fan art? Is it illegal to sell artwork of famous people like musicians or actors?

[@IvyLilyCreative]

The POD fan art programs include some artists/bands, too. And actors are included in movie / TV show brands. As far as I understand, there are 2 possible problems with selling fan art of celebrities without permission. The copyright of the original photo, if you're using a reference photo. And using the likeliness of the celebrity.

[@Malocore]

@@IvyLilyCreative Ive been looking everywhere high and low so can you please answer my question can you print others fanart etc on your own printer for decor like on your wall without selling anything

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Are you asking if you can print someone's art and use it as home decor without paying the artist? Only if you have permission from the artist to do that.

[@Itsjanellealiyah]

"If I design a piece that includes a quote along with an illustration that represents it, but the quote is part of the Fan Art Program-however, I have added a continuation to the quote, and it does not contain the brand's official logo, only the name integrated into a long motivational quote-would that be an issue? Please respond, as I have designs currently under review by TeePublic's legal team. Would it be better to delete my account entirely to avoid any legal liability?"

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Did you submit them as part of the Fan Art Program or not? (Did you add the tag for the brand?) If you did and the designs don't get approved, they'll just be deleted and it shouldn't be a problem for your account. (By the way, I've had designs waiting for review on TeePublic for over 2 years now.) And one of the designs I uploaded for the Fan Art Program on Redbubble got declined, but the brand let me have the design up anyway.

[@lunadraws1388]

I wanna know how artists make merch based off of mascots they don't own

[@TheDukeOfZill]

They are not allowed to sell it. The consensus is, make it until you get hit with a cease and desist, however.. 1/10 times, the company will actually sue instead of giving a C&D. It's Russian roulette. Many are just taking their chance with it.

[@christmerjulegamba3675]

Hello, great video! I want to ask if is it legal to have a shirt design with an anime character then sell it? Even if I will redraw everything?

[@IvyLilyCreative]

It doesn't matter whether it's redrawn or the original image. What matters is having permission from the brand.

[@GelliElli]

Hey! What would you say about using game characters as fan art in pod and even modify them compeletly different like for example a character who is a knight, would be wearing sport clothing and doing push ups? I think this is much smaller market and so many more characters than well known movie art work.

[@IvyLilyCreative]

I think the fan art programs include some games too and you just need to follow the guidelines they've set. If you're asking about selling game fan art without permission, I don't think changing the character's clothes is going to help, if you plan on selling it with the brand's/character's name.

[@thurston154]

Hey, sorry if you already mentioned it but are you allowed to do commissions in the same style as the game/show? I just started doing commissions and my style looks very similar to the game don’t starve by klei entertainment! I don’t wanna break any rules or anything I just need some advice please! Thank you for reading!

[@IvyLilyCreative]

I don't think an art style is something that can be copyrighted. It's moreso about using characters someone else created, the likeliness of a celebrity or a trademarked brand name. So, just using a similar art style in your commissions should be ok.

I wanted to sell an original handmade sculpture of Batman, based on the new 2021 movie suit, and I’m not sure how I can do so. Should I contact DC comics directly? Should I sell it to them? Should I get a license for copyright by the brand, the name, or the movie? I’m so confused

I've never looked into selling fan art and getting permission from the brand outside of a fan art program like the ones I mentioned in the video, so I can't help with that unfortunately.

Hiya!! I really want to make Pokémon stickers and possibly sell them (and/or selling other interests like animals, digimon, monster hunter etc) is that illegal? As a artist myself I would like to draw chibi drawings and turn them into stickers, would that be illegal or not? I’ve seen Etsy and Redbubble do it and I’m just a bit confused

[@natfailssymmetry6353]

Yeah i was wondering the same thing. I see so many pokemon stickers and keychains and what not being sold by small businesses. Is that not illegal as well? Or do they just all accept the risk of not being caught and sued ? I mean the fines would be tremendous I assume. Anyone who can help and knows the answer?

[@KristenOsborne11]

So, yes it would be illegal to make anything Pokémon related and sell it anywhere, without a proper license. Does that mean that people don't do it? Absolutely not. It just means that they either are uneducated or are willing to take the HUGE risk or getting sued for everything they own. As far as you question about the Chibi drawings, as long as you are drawing and selling original Chibi you would be legal, but be sure to research anything you wish to turn into a Chibi, as anything that is copyrighted or trademarked, has the potential to get you into legal trouble. Hopes this helps!

Can I draw a movie poster without face, just with black outline and colour? No name mentioned, no character or celebrity name? Will I be able to resel it?

Even if you're not mentioning names, is the character/celebrity still recognizable?

[@TheDukeOfZill]

PSA: 99.9% of shirts on the internet are illegal, no joke. There are anime shirts everywhere, some are fan art, others are images pulled from the net. Doesn't matter who the fan artist is, the original character is not allowed to be sold in any form. There's Genshin shirts, chibi fan art of them, etc etc.. even Ned Flanders smokin a joint. Illegal. The best advise is: DO NOT SELL SHIRTS OF EXISTING CHARACTERS IN ANY FORM unless you have permission or a license from the artist to sell it. Only create an OC and sell that. Parody is in a gray area, there have been instances where parodied shirts have been C&D'd, so again, stay away from existing characters for what it's worth.

[@helenpatterson6500]

For Genshin: they do allow you to sell your fanart/fan merch but you can only sell 500 or less units until they will come down on you. You can always petition for more but there arent any guaranteed.

Where or how you sell them doesn't make it more or less illegal, it just makes you less likely to get caught.

[@jas_bataille]

@@IvyLilyCreative Well... not sure that's true. If you want do a *private* artwork for a single customer, that isn't the same as presenting a storefront competing with officially branded merch! Besides, if the transaction and the artwork remains private... I really don't see how that would be seen as illegal. You're allowed to draw anything you want for yourself. You can also give that drawing to someone as a gift and, if they wanna pay for it, what's the matter?? I mean it would be an extremely far stretch for any corporation to sue someone over a private commission.
