RULES & GUIDELINES

1: DON'T be offended! : If you do a piece of work, and for whatever reason I don't want to use it, don't get offended. I'm kinda picky, so don't get bent out of shape. This whole project is about giving talented artists a small platform to showcase their work and maybe make some money for themselves. (Don't expect to make a million dollars... I haven't. If you do, hook me up!)

2: NO MASS MANUFACTURING : The Fan Arts Project is for fans who want to create a small batch of pieces or one of a kind things. If you're churning out a bunch of stuff, I will find out, and there will be problems. If there's something you REALLY want to make a lot of, contact me.

3: IF IT'S NOT LISTED ON THE SITE, DON'T BUY IT! : All artwork/things I post on the Fan Arts Page is considered “approved.” If it's not listed, don't buy it. If there's something you think I should look at, let me know. If it's not something I want to feature, refer to Rule 1.

4: LIABILITY : If you made it, it's your responsibility. I will not be held liable for anyone's work. If you make a plush and it explodes... that's your fault. Contact the artist who created it and yell at them.

5: ADULT STUFF : Yeah, It's out there already, but assuming the artwork is exception, I will allow it, and it will be placed in an “Adults Only” section. I will be extremely picky about “adult content” and it will be judged on it's artistic quality. Even “erotic arts” are an art form, and if people are going to do it anyway, I'd still like to help out the really good artists.

6: WHAT CAN I MAKE? : One of a kind type things like; Plush, weird hats, artwork for posters, Fan-Art Sketch Books, and “FAN SERIES COMICS”. (Novels are also a possibility, but like artwork, I will be kinda picky.) If you want to make a digital comic, It needs to be clearly labeled “FAN SERIES” or something like that. I'll set up some graphics for it eventually. (Gumroad.com is a no-fee set up for digital goods. Something to look into) Neurotically Yours, 4y-Records, Minion's Quest, & Dia & Tofu are all series one can choose to work from.

7: DO NOT MAKE : Apps, Games, Shirts, Movies, Digital Music Albums of squeaky voiced characters claiming it's Foamy, etc. If you are uncertain about something, ask! Anyone wanting to work on a game should contact me, because I'd like to have a hand in it. (I have plenty of ideas for Fighters, Platformers, etc.) Do not use other peoples work in yours!

8: CREDIT : ALL work should have the following credit line: “All Characters Copyright: Jonathan Ian Mathers. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission. illwillpress.com.”. If it's a poster or comic book, you can make it a small line at the bottom or inside the book. Things like Plush should have the line somewhere noticeable on the page it's displayed.

9: WHAT'S IN IT FOR J.i.M? : Nothin'. Seriously. This is just a small place for talented artists to showcase their work. If you feel the need to compensate me somehow, become a patron on PATREON : !

10 : LIMITATIONS, ABUSE & TAKEDOWNS : Not many artists allow their Characters or Intellectual Property to be “loaned” to fellow artists. With that being said, please respect this opportunity. Approach this as if it were a gallery showing. Someplace for you to showcase a iLL WiLL PrEss-related piece which may call attention to your other works. This is not a platform for someone to start their own Foamy factory. This is not a platform for ANY company to use the characters in ANY form of mass production. I still retain the rights to all my Neurotically Yours/iLL WiLL PrEss related properties and reserve the right to take down any work that does not adhere to the above guidelines. Again, if you think this is a free pass to use my characters to create some sort of company for yourself, it's not. It's for independent artists who WANT to work on Foamy-Related things and possibly sell a small batch of posters, plush, etc. I don't like paying my lawyer, so don't make me. If I get complaints about a piece of work, I will take it down. And, also... for legal reasons, the terms and cancellation of this project may change or be canceled at any time. If the Fan-Arts project is canceled, all “approved” work should cease monitization within 2 weeks of notice. If you are using any of the intellectual property contained within iLL WiLL Press, LLC, and you are requested to stop the monitization of an iLL WiLL PrEss related work, you are expected to do so within 2 weeks of notice. If abuse of these rules are severe enough to follow legal precceedings, all legal fees will be the responsibility of the abusive party... meaning you. (I don't see it coming to that, but just be warned. Even though I'm respectful and polite with people, and willing to work with everyone, I am VERY protective of my intellectual property and do not want it abused.)
