My World - Entry #1

Description

Navi, ples shut up

This was my first entry to the portraits comp held at school. This artwork was made before they clarified what the theme 'conversation' really meant, so I just assumed that drawing myself 'cosplaying' as Link would be fine since it tells people that I love Legend of Zelda or something lol
This is a self portrait, and this was held back for the same reasons as the other one. Also, please don't look for this person as this doesn't look like me. Like, at all. Okay, maybe a little bit but srsly just don't do it

Personally, I like this one a lot better since the colours are much prettier, but all the people - except 1 - I showed the 2 entries to (hi mum) agreed that the second one looked better. T_T

P.S. I am not trying to steal from Nintendo. (What do I look like, a moron? lmao)
This is simply a self portrait heavily inspired and based on Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. I take no credit for any of Nintendo's designs.

EDIT: Legally, all fan art is actually copyright infringement, but it acts as free advertisement for companies that own the stuff in the artwork, so they tolerate it (and some even encourage it!). In addition, it would bring their reputation down if they chased down every fan artist out there and told them to bugger off and stop infringing on their copyright. However, this means that (for example) Nintendo can give me a cease and desist letter telling me to take this down, or sue me because technically this is theirs and they can do anything with it - which could happen if I was selling this. 
Just a heads up because recently a certain someone asked me if they could print my stuff out and sell it. If you get a cease and desist or get sued, not my fault because you decided not to listen to me. Not understanding the way the law works is a dumb excuse, and fan art is a grey area so it is expected that all artists and people who want to sell their art know this. You know who you are. Fan art falls under civil law, not criminal law.

Conventions have caps on the amount of fan art someone can sell, so don't use that to try and get out of punishment.
Speaking of Nintendo... they seem quite lenient on this topic. I'd still take caution, though.
If I am wrong in any of this copyright stuff, go ahead and correct me. However, do know that I will do my research to confirm that what exactly you are saying is correct.
