This article is meant to explain the relationship between Fan Art, celebrities, and the characters they portray.
First and foremost:
Portraits, pictures, photographs, drawings, paintings, etc. of a celebrity themselves (not in character) are not Fan Art.
Any artwork you create, or photograph you take which is of a celebrity themselves, be it portrait, full body, or somewhere in between should always be uploaded into the proper corresponding gallery (digital, traditional, photography etc.) in the people/portraits category.



All of the above examples are
not Fan Art, and reside in their respective galleries.
Furthermore artworks depicting rock stars, sport stars, etc. are also
not considered to be Fan Art and should be uploaded into their rightful galleries under the people or portraits category.
So what about artworks or photographs that portray the celebrity as a character he/she has acted as or performed as?
These are Fan Art.
Images which depict the celebrity as a character and not as himself/herself are considered to be Fan Art.



All of the above examples
are Fan Art and reside in their respective Fan Art Gallery categories.
In closing I hope this has helped clear up any questions that you may have had regarding Fan Art & Celebrities, remember, when in doubt, just ask, the Artist Relations Team is here to help. For more information and regular updates regarding the Fan Art Gallery, please make sure to have the Gallery Director of Fan Art ^
animator on your watch list!
