Painting on screen captures of copyrighted films/movies, television shows, or programs is not fan art. Uploads made from screen shots of said copyrighted material, is not fan art.
So help me, nothing says "lazy" more than stealing copyrighted screen captures, and painting on them in Photoshop, PSP, or MS Paint to change character's clothing color and haircolor--- to put your own OC/Mary Sue in there. Same goes for making pretty much any deviation using screenshots and screencaptures of copyrighted material. Didn't make it? Then don't take it.
Got an OC/Mary Sue? Draw it. Pick up any sheet of paper, and any writing tool, and draw it. Bic Pen and notebook paper? Hawtness. Go for it. Need help drawing? There are tons of awesome tutorials on the internet. Here as well. You can also ask for help.
Learning to draw is fantastic fun-- and everyone can draw. You just need to practice!
Just don't steal stuff and recolor it. It's theft, and it's also against rules. There is way too much of that crap on DeviantArt. DA is for your ART, not a place to dump screen capture uploads.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
