It's funny because I never see this complaint about fanfic. If someone writes a fic that manages to nail the style, etc. of the canon, it's considered a laudable achievement. But then... making money off fanfiction is still generally frowned upon, so the whole "taking money away from the creators" argument doesn't strictly apply.

I've got mixed feelings. If people are allowed to make money off fanart, then they should be able to use whatever skills they have for that purpose, including the skill of mimicry. Otherwise it feels like telling people that sure, they can make fanart, but they can't be TOO good at it...

oh yes, a good old fic VS fanart debate... ^.^ Anyway, I didn't see anything about selling fanart in the secret?

Then you should read more carefully.

"... but these people are adults, they produce and make money off this stuff, money they wouldn't be making nearly as much of if fans weren't starving for "official" ship art. The thing is... that style isn't yours to sell with!"

thanks! Must have skipped it.
hm, I don't see a difference between selling chibies and realistic looking fanart. Intellectual property is the same in both cases. :/

I agree. Lots of people (OP included) are drawing an arbitrary distinction between fanart in a different style than canon and fanart in the style of canon without realizing that it is an arbitrary distinction rather than a legal one.
