I was really thrilled to hear you were considering selling your work. You are definately one of my all time favorite Firefly artists (and with the talent displayed here that is no mean feat!) I'm desperately job hunting at the moment but the second I have some spare cashy money I'm gonna be dropping you a line!

Krispee,
your work is beautiful! I'm just starting to dabble in painting, I usually stick to oil sticks.
I love the play of light on your work
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

cheers, artcat, appreciate the comments, i tend to dabble in oil paints outside of the computer.....not too many people have the money to buy anything unfortunately, but not to worry......can still watch serenity and firefly :biggrin

You might also try posting at www.serenitystuff.com There is a "Submit Stuff" link on the right near the bottom. Your work is very good. I'm sure it will be popular.

I hope you know your copyright/trademark law very thoroughly or this could get extremely messy for you.

micjwelch: cheers, i`ll have a look at that.....
grizwald: well, i have asked around a lot over that and it isn`t an easy question to answer, no-one seems to have the same one anyway....as far as i can tell as long as you haven`t copied it exactly you are ok, and if you are only selling a few then they wouldn`t bother with you anyway, cost more than they`d get in return. if you are paiting parts and making something new from it then that`s ok as well, as far as....i have seen other artists paint these characters without submitting to Universal for copyright without a problem.....posting them on sites like these isn`t a problem at all either.
but it is a good question, one that i have wondered about, how far can you go, no-one seems to know....

Apparently you have not asked an attorney. Where money is involved, it would be wise to get a consultation with an attorney well versed in copyright/trademark law and check what you are going to do to save problems down the road. Asking people on the message boards is not going to do the job. What are you gonna do when you are standing in court someday, say, "Well, I asked around the message boards and everybody said it was okay, so..."?
I don't mean to be nasty, I'm trying to be realistic. It's not just Universal. Nathan Fillion owns his own face. Gina Torres owns her own face. You aren't supposed to sell their faces without their permission. Is this making sense?
Posting stuff in the Blue Sun Room is different; it's a violation, probably, but nobody cares since there is no money changing hands. But when you go to sell something, you step into territory where the chances of people/companies bothering to enforce their rights are much higher.

grizwald: ok, i hear you, but in that case this is probably not worth bothering about. i have better things to do with my talent than waste it looking into something that has only 1 of 2 possible outcomes: either the attorney/solicitor will tell me i can`t do it or he will tell me to contact the parties involved. then they will say yes, but pay me a royalty, or they will say no.
either way i won`t make any money.
i have a lot of other projects to invest with my time that have no copyright issues.....
