As an artist, I’d like to post this up before anyone asks this. I know people will ask for these couple of things, but I thought it might be a good idea to post this up because hopefully some people on Tumblr will read it and be able to alert others.
No artists can sell anything pertaining to The Avengers.
The Avengers are under Marvel, therefore under Disney. Our contracts state we cannot sell Disney, Studio Ghibli, Marvel or REBOOT. I don’t want to burst any ones bubble, but people should know this so they don’t get their hopes up and don’t get artists in major trouble. Don’t push artists to do under the table commissions either.
I’m not trying to get anyone in trouble, but a heads up for Homestuck. Without permission from Andrew Hussie, artists may only take commissions of his work.
Hussie states in his Sales FAQ that artists may only take commissions for they’re a one time transaction. And from what I’ve heard, I’ve heard artists at cons get in big trouble for selling premade merchandise without permission.
These little heads up are really just warnings for both Artists and Patrons of the Comic Market. Nothing to make anyone upset, just so neither the patrons nor artists get themselves in trouble with anyone!
That reminds me that I need to try and get in touch with Andrew before Otakon about my print idea. :x
