Conway's Stance on Fan Art (Patreon)

Hey hey,

I've recently have been asked a little more regularly if doing this or that is fine with the Conway characters, and so I figured making a simple post about it would provide an easy answer there.

HOWEVER, keep in mind that the minor characters are often characters of supporters. So they are obviously not included in these rules.

These rules apply only to the following characters:
Arthur
James/MC
Julian
Nomax
Rajeeyah
Samuel
Wolf
Bandile
Konrad
Perce
Torres
René

Can I make fan art (visual, writing, etc.) with the characters?
Yes, you are free to create any kind of art with them. Typically you don't have to ask permission or anything of the sort. Draw, write, sculpt, sew or do whatever else that your heart desires.

What about Nomax?
Yes, this also includes Nomax. I know the situation is a bit different there, as he is my fursona as well as part of the game. But yes, I am not overly precious there. As long as it's not like, a fursuit or something, where it ends up getting into the realm of a potential imitation of me.
If in doubt you can always ask.

What about NSFW art?
Yes, go nuts you sicko. This also includes things like Sona x Conway Character.

Can I make money with the fan art Make?
This one has a bit of nuance to it, but generally yes, let's make a little list to clear up some of the common ones. Of course this explicitly talks about the art that you create.

Commissions (Selling or buying): Always allowed, and it's fine to commission others.

Merchandise (Stickers, Prints, etc.): Always allowed.

Digital Goods (High Resolution Art, Patreon, VR Chat Avatar, etc.): Always allowed

Stories/Books (Print, Digital, Audiobook): Always allowed

Basically all the common artistic endevours in the fandom are allowed. Only times we would want to be informed and have some discussion is when it starts to become a larger scale project.
Such as deciding to make a Visual Novel (or any other game) for example.

And of course as long as it's not trying to be deceptive. Such as trying to appear as official media, have a patreon appear to be part of the team, or the above mentioned fursuit example, where a Nomax suit could lead to people assuming it's me when it's not.

And of course, if in doubt you can still always ask.
