Fan Art
When we talk about Fan Art, the question of copyright tends to come up. There have been a lot of resources posted on the subject on DA over the years and sometimes they can be tricky to find.

I have left out older articles that are similar to the ones I included as the more recent ones would have the most accurate information.
