Hmm…..fan art. Well, I do believe that as Christians, we should be wary of what we illustrate. My dad commented on one of my pieces at one point. It was a character who smokes. I thought it would be fine to replicate this image (because it was what he did and was) but I wanted to get some input. He had some good points. By illustrating this, was I promoting smoking? I doesn’t have to be int there. I sort of argued it would be difficult to replicate by taking out the cigarette. In the end I kept the cigarette out and it looks fine.
Point: I think we need to be careful about what kind of message our art promotes.
Fan art seems fine, as long as we don’t illustrate something that is sinful or promotes bad things. I think this questions could help when we are in doubt: Does this glorify Christ?
