Using Art for your Story

Art is a wonderful thing, especially on the internet.

Whether you make it yourself or use other's, art is always necessary. Especially in a good book. Well, at least fanfiction.

Fanfiction is based off of, well, a fandom. A fandom usually has artists who draw it. Wonderful artists.

Whether you are one or not, you may use this art for your cover or even a character reference.

However, just using art off of google is not all that nice...

Someone worked hard of that art and may not want it used. You can try to find the artist, and ask permission to use it. You can use Tineye.com for this, also reverse image search on google(this is also an App!).

If you draw your own cover then well gOOD FOR YOU! So proud! You can make it fit the story the best way possible, and you don't even need to ask permission. :)

The reason art is so sensitive especially on the internet, is Art Theft. Art theft is a terrible crime that one may commit if they want to claim art for themself or even just use it without proper credit and permission. Usually you can get away with just crediting the artist and thanking them for their hard work. Some artists, however, really do NOT want their art reposted. The reason this is a crime is because it is artistic property, and people can make money and fame off of this! This is why it is so terrible to steal art. You are actually stealing potential money and possessions from them.

Please. Credit your artists and ask permission! Or even create tour own art. Just don't steal and use art without permission and proper credit. Thank you!
