No. 148700
I've seen this argument too much lately, it's so idiotic. HU artists do not own the rights to their week period unless they do enough things to the characters being portrayed that it can be labeled officially no longer the character in question. Even then it'd be a hard fought battle in court if the real owners of highest characters decided to sue. I mean them demanding money is ridiculous I've drawn quite a few hentai works in my life, they aren't very good but people have asked me, mostly because I still do everything on paper rather than on high quality image software . Anyway I've never charged and never will because I realize something I do not and never will own the rights to characters I draw, claiming I own it just because I did the work is fucking stupid. Hell, mosh companies hate even the artists at conventions doing sketches for money, why ? Because the artist in question usualy does not have the companies ok to do that character and charge for it. Example, a few years back my wife and I went to a local com so she could meet Brian pulido who created, and owns rights to her favorite character, lady deaths. While there she found an artist( whose name I cannot remember right now) who had a sketch book full of work, he was selling said book for 25$ when she flipped through it she found a sketch of lady death,immediantly she wanted it. Now she decided she wanted to ask pulido to sign said sketch, when we showed him he was livid he hadn't given said artist permission to draw a character he owned rights to. Fast foreward a year, we went to another convention , again mostly so she can get works from pulido, and we asked what had happened with the guy from the previous year. Pulido used, and won. Why you ask? Because he owned the rights to said character, not the artist, no matter how much work an artist puts into his or her drawing, if that character is not the artists exclusive property, they have no right to make money off it. End of story . So in conclusion hu artists who may read this, you do not and never will,w have the right to charge.
