Permission Needed to Use My Characters
5 years ago
General
Okay, it recently came to my attention that someone from F-List was trying to get art of my Renamon, Kyoko, and their character without my knowledge or permission. While I don't mind gifts and surprises from friends who know me well, strangers and especially ones who are telling artists it's "for a friend" when I don't even know the person. What's more is that they were trying to get pictures involving fetishes I'd never approve of. Vanilla, pin ups, or something more SFW I'd be more forgiving of, but anything else I'd need to review to approve.
While I of course don't own the rights to Renamon, Kyoko or as I call her Kyo, was specifically being referenced and named. So, it wasn't just them using her pics as a reference point. This whole thing was brought to my attention when an artist friend asked me about it. They have gone to at least one other artist I know as well. They didn't realize it was my character at the time because they were full on slots.
If you're an artist, please check with me if any of my characters have been permitted for use when referenced.
Thank you!
