General Guidelines
Applies to all fan art submissions in the Fan Art Program

Be original!
While your work will include a brand's Intellectual Property(a company's logo or a character from a TV show), it's important to add something original of your own. Make it unique to your style!
Do your research - make sure your design hasn't already been done.
Don't submit screenshots or imagery taken directly from the property in question.

Be mindful of explicit content.
Some brands might be okay with adult content, but others aren't. Check each brand's guidelines for the Partner Program if you want to know more about what each partner thinks is okay.

Be creative!
Play with different styles and mediums! Get inspiration from the brand - watch, read, or play it again.

Please Note: If your work includes the likeness of characters from the show, it may take a little longer for talent approval. Reviews may take six or more weeks. Thank you for your patience!
