“Do I still own the rights to my fan art?
When you create something original and upload it to Redbubble, you own your creation. That’s always been the case on Redbubble. This applies to fan art too, but it’s a little bit different. That’s because your fan art is based on someone else’s intellectual property, which they own. So, you’d need their permission to do certain things, like selling it… anywhere, even on Redbubble.
When your fan art is approved, it means that the owner of the underlying intellectual property has joined the Redbubble partnership program, and this partner has permitted you to use its intellectual property in this particular work and sell it on Redbubble. It’s important to understand that the partner’s permission does not extend to selling the artwork anywhere else. It applies only to Redbubble.
It works both ways, though. Approved fan artwork contains your original creation too, so the partner also can’t sell the fan artwork without your permission.
Every partner is different, however, so please check out each brands’ specific guidelines and requirements before you start creating. “
