Wow, all the detail in this picture is just stunning, and the textures are rendered really good as well. Not to mention the light and shadows, which are on spot!

Regarding your question: As far as I know, making any kind of profit with copyrighted characters that are not yours is not exactly legal. However, it is a grey zone: Most copyright holders allow artists to sell their work / selfmade merchandise of the characters because for the company, it's basically free advertisement. It only gets complicated if you sell the stuff big style, making thousands of dollars with it.

oh thank you :,D

hmm interesting, I always had this doubt, thanks for clarifying! ^^

Nope ~lion pulls out fire extinguisher~

The final came out awesome. Great job!

As for selling copyrighted stuff, it really depends on the company. Some companies (like a lot of Japanese companies) don't mind if you sell fanart since they see it as free advertising, BUT other companies (like Disney, oooh boy, like Disney) will definitely send you a cease and desist letter if they find you selling their trademarked characters. So it depends on how strict Blizzard is with their trademarks. /shrug

Thanks! :D

Yeah, I had heard that about companies complaining but still saw people selling prints, shirts and such, so I was confused XD I have seen stuff with Blizzard´s characters, not much though (not as much as pokemon for sure ahahha ) Ill research around a little...

this is so amazing

fwiw i think, if you're asking cuz you wanna sell prints of this, that blizz would be ok with it - you could always shoot them an e-mail to be sure, but i'm fairly certain you can buy prints of tons of fanart and warcraft stuff in general (like check out the warcraft stuff on redbubble for example)

ofc i'm not a legal anything so my opinion is worth zero - safest bet would be to contact them directly (i'm sure there's a line to their legal team somewhere).

this is a fantastic piece of work that i would stick on my wall in a heartbeat

Yeah I also saw there is a lot of blizzard fanart on redbubble. Ill send them an email just to be sure, meanwhile I guess Ill upload it for prints ^^
thank you! :D

let me know if it works out and you're clear to sell prints cuz hooomg i'd legit buy one :D

It seems its not really legal, and Blizzard says they dont want people to earn money from it, but they dont seem to be strict about it. At most, I could receive a letter saying to remove it from the site, because there wont e big earnings or anything.

I guess itll be on my redbubble soon XD

As far as I know, (i am not a lawyer) it is legal to draw it and show it off, and in fact, most companies do appreciate fanart, but they don't like people making money off of it. Like all things grey, check first and see if you can't come to an agreement (ie a licence fee for every print) before you start selling the prints.

Its not legal, nope, but as long as its not big amounts of money and I dont sell it as an original piece they dont seem to care.

Keep going until your happy with it
Otherwise it'll continue to bug you
I think it looks good myself, but you keep going till you're happy with it

I would, but I dont know what to do to it anymore, thats why I think im done XD

Haha, strange
