Christmas Cards, WoW and Lolita... (oh my!)

[aimeekitty]

QUESTION!
If I made a Doctor Who image for Christmas cards and sold it.... How likely do you think I'd be to get a cease and desist? (I'm just thinking of all the fanart prints sold at conventions and wondering if I should worry or not)



yes, I'm a geek. do be do.

minus the underdrawing:




oh... and OMG I finally found a black M-length Meta Room Print SKIRT! HURRAY! I've been pinning over this thing since spring! You can see the print a little better in this one. But I wish I could find the original flat-print photos.
now if I can just get the blue AP Magical Etoile skirt. :P I'm still really tempted by AP Magic Whip OP, too... but I'm afraid on the proportions. I went ahead and ordered the white Swan Lake print (the M skirt and the bag) as a consolation. I just can't bear not having the print "at all". But I'm still really hoping to get the black version later.

I'm a little irked, it seemed like a year ago, if you bought lolita brand retail and then you didn't like it, you could sell it pretty easily for what you paid for it. Lately people keep stringing me along, or I don't get much response. It makes me not want to be as adventurous in what I buy.

well, enough goofing off!

I don't think you'll have an issue at all. Adam Hughes makes unauthorized DC and Marvel prints from time to time and sells them without it being an issue. And I'm sure he makes thousands off of those.
Lucasfilm people have come by my table (and Grant's) and have seen the Star Wars prints we sell. They don't care.
We don't make enough off of them for it to be a big deal, nor do we claim the characters are ours.
Unless you say it's an officially approved print from the company that owns the rights to Dr. Who, you won't have an issue.

thanks for the detailed response! I really appreciate it. I think I'll give it a shot. I'd like to do one for myself, and some other people had mentioned wanting one.
