Scott, how do you feel about fanart and selling thereof?

[Welcome to the Dimmadome]

I recently created some comedy Springtrap fan-art, just because, but I was really pleased with the result. If, in theory, I wanted to sell said fan-art as prints etc, would you have a problem copyright-speaking? If so, then of course I'm not going to do it. http://imgur.com/TJXYDcO

That's really creative.

Scott sends out automatic emails to those who contact him and one of the things contained in said email is the following:

"Concerning fan-games: I love to see fan games and encourage them as long as they are free and do not infringe on anyone elses rights. Please clearly label your game as a fan game, and as a courtesy please do not name your game Five Nights at Freddy's 3, 4, etc, as it may cause confusion. I reserve the right to have fan-games removed if they duplicate the original games too closely or if I feel it is necessary for some other reason. No mobile versions of Five Nights at Freddy's fan-games will be permitted.

Concerning permissions: I love seeing fan art and reading fan-fiction! However, you cannot sell merchandise or other Five Nights at Freddy's related material without written permission."

So that kind of implies you can't sell your fan art without Scott's written permission, you'd have to ask him directly (through email?)

Great Springtrap ad! Scott has worked with artists who have pages on deviantArt and other sites to license their art on merchandise to sell; in fact, the artist who drew the official Sanshee.com FNaF Christmas postcard last year is a high school student. So asking him sounds like the best idea, and good luck.

Rydi, thanks for that information. I had no idea Scott had acknowledged that he reads fanfiction. That makes my day and it's got to be weird, but fun, for him to read what others have written for the characters he created.
