As per request---

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.

No need to comment to use-- just go for it.
