Browsing through my feedback messages I saw that, not rarely, pieces of mine get added to 'so-and-so fanart' collections.
Do not misunderstand me, please, I'm always glad when someone likes my works enough to fave them or put them in a collection, I feel I'm being paid a compliment. That said, though, allow me to comment on the specific choice.
I have no problems at all with my works being in a 'Fanart' collection, if that is the only collection you have related to that specific Intellectual Property( I am definitely not so full of myself to want anyone to create a folder specifically for my works ). What I have a small problem with is when my works get put in a 'fanart' folder because the Deviant that does so is convinced that that illustration of mine is fanart (and also when I see my illos in 'photomanipulation' collections, but that is a different topic).
Bear with me, please: there is nothing wrong with fanart at all, as long as:
A) It is done for practice
B) It is done for one's private enjoyement, as such no commissions and no prints/merchandise.
But, as many of you know, I do offer prints of some of the lines I work with, namely 'A Game of Thrones' and 'Call of Cthulhu'.
ALL those images (as well as my 'Lord of the Rings' ones apart for 'The Unespected Stroke') are official game art commissioned by the license holder of the different games (A Game of Thrones LCG, Call of Cthulhu LCG, Lord of the Rings LCG), that is the reason why all the images bear the company's copyright line.
The prints I offer (on my site, I like to have quality control and print them myself) are only those I am authorized to sell by contract AND that is also the reason why I'll never have other kinds of merchandise up for sale (my contract with FFG doesn't allow anything different from prints).
Thanks for reading, allowing me to make this point clear.
