Fair Use and Copyright are not the same thing. When you make a character visually, it's your copyright. You cannot take a character or work that somebody else owns, and pass it off as your own. Fair Use is a large set of rules that you have to fall under in order to be safe from it being illegal

1: Most of the time, if you are making money from it, it's not fair use.

2: If you are not using it for educational purposes, satire, parody, valid critisism, etc., it's not fair use.

3: If you used alot of the character, it's not fair use.

4: If it impacts the market for the original, it's not fair use.

They are not the same thing, they just are related.

I make this comment, but I know you won't be able to respond in a month, so partially sorry for the inconvient timing.

Also, views of fair use can vary, even if you think it's fair use, the original owner might not.

Fan Art is not Fair Use
