The Truth About Selling Fanart
Update notice as of January 17, 2013: I have given this guide a MAJOR overhaul. It was originally written over a year and a half ago, and since then my own views and understanding of copyrights has changed. I felt that this guide should reflect those changes, so if you read this guide in the past, please take a moment to look through it again as I have added MANY new topics, information, and sources. Unlike my first draft, I have also changed my viewpoint to neutral throughout this writing.
Update notice as of July 17th, 2015: Check out DeviantArt's new article on art theft, fanart, copyrights, and other relevant topics! http://protectart.de

Disney’s DuckTales filled many a child’s weekday afternoon with fun and adventure during the late 80’s. But where did Scrooge McDuck and all his fortune come from?
It was 1947 when Scrooge McDuck made his first appearance in the Donald Duck comic Christmas on Bear Mountain written by Carl Barks as Donald’s uncle on this mother Hortense’s side. But before he was a multiplujillionaire he started out shining shoes as a boy in Glasgow. This is also how

Cinderella and her glass slipper have become a modern day institution since Disney’s classic film debuted 65 years ago.
The tale we’ve come to know today originated in Europe, but its roots can be traced as far back as Ancient Egypt where we find the original “Cinderella,” a Greek slave girl named Rhodopis who goes on to marry the king of Egypt. The Cinderella plot is so popular and widespread it has earned its own cla

New York City, chemical ooze, and the delicious smell of pizza can only mean one thing — Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
For being named after Renaissance artist greats, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, had rather humble beginnings. Let’s travel back to 1983 to when Kevin Eastman created the idea for the turtles during a brainstorming session with his friend Peter Laird. Eastman’s drawing featured a masked turtle holding nunchak

The Muppets are celebrating their 60th birthday this year!
Jim Henson created the group of puppets back in 1955 for his first TV show, called “Sam and Friends.” Henson said the term Muppet had emerged from a combination of “marionette” and “puppet.” Henson’s wildly imagined collection of characters has been delighting children and adults with their absurd antics and comedic sketches ever since.
Muppets are not born in a day. They are carefully

Artistic practice and the law permit copying in certain instances. For example, copying is an accepted practice to perfect one’s technique and is used for all manner of reference when building an original image.
“Tracing” is a controversial topic in the art community. Some v
