RE: Arsenic Lullaby - Casper the friendly ghost wrap up
This is often the case behind the power of copyright. I've actually have done some middling popular animal themed takes on Game of Thrones. I mean I used a free commercial font and made the characters in HOMAGE to characters on GOT but in animal/dog form. They keep getting taken down off society6 etc. Because heaven forbid we share our love of something and make pennies for our effort as well as adding to the overall love of a thing.
It seems when big places own something outright it can be left to mold, as poor Casper is doing.
I wish we could just have our own Steemit Comic house and make a version of it that is NOT it but better. And we'd have no 'printing' costs as well, paper is def going the way of the dinosaur and landline dial phone.
I'd love to make a 'sabrina(old school)/Wendy/bewitched style' character. I've often thought of it, but the amount of work for one person to do a comic and the payoff, well, it's just always remained a pipe dream. But I'd LOVE to see your take on Casper (and wendy if she showed up)
Oh well, door closes, window opens @arseniclullaby
Huh...a GOT illustration with dogs as the characters falls squarely under parody laws, so you have the right to do that. Parody law is what allows Mad to spoof movies and stuff.
I'll do Casper eventually, just not with these guys. They only have a licensing agreement with the actual owners of the character, so...there's more than one way to skin a cat.
