Copyright question
8 years ago
I've got a couple ideas about YCHs with themes of my favorite games and books.
But i've got some doubts about getting money for this...
Well, i don't think i've got troubles for fan-art-based YCHs for such books, like "The Elder" by Sergey Tarmashev, or "Time of the Dead" by Andrey Kruz (mostly, i don't think someone, even in Russia, heard about those))
But, what about Super Robot Taisen-theme (if this title new to you - its a Bandai-Namco universe. they own ALL japanese gigant robots, including Evas, Grendizer etc.))?
Or Megamen theme?
Or, oh, what a hell, WH 40k? (that's a one scary universe to play with... it's owners copyrighted term "Space marine"...)
And, what must i do, if someone want a commission on those pupular, but copyrighted themes?

А уж по оверватчу сколько ючей...
Best bet to be super safe is to create your own version of something. If you've been 'inspired' by them to create something then they have no real recourse.
