Does fanart violate the copyright guidelines

[TakoAlice8]

I have read the guidelines for posting work. It says that I can’t post copyright infringing content. So I was wondering if it would be copyright infringement to post fanart. I might post some fanart I drew including video game characters.

@TakoAlice8 I’ve seen fan art posted here before.

I think there’s nothing wrong with it as long as you say what it’s based on. Basically don’t pass off another person’s full work as your own work. Drawings based on already existing characters is just fine.

Just be sure include the source, if you didn’t make it yourself!
