The issue here is not whether companies will allow "fan art" or not. The real issue is whether Renderosity is comfortable allowing "fan art" in their galleries or Free Stuff sections. So, while Lucas may encourage people to make their own models and images, Renderosity is "playing it safe" by removing these things from their site. By extension, you should play it safe also and remove these kinds of images before the admins delete your image and you are given a "warning" on your "member record". I know the Free Stuff and Galleries may become bland without the sci-fi and comic-book images, but I suppose blandess is preferred over a potential run-in with Lucas or Paramount. --John
