iconimg is an old project to collect images you're allowed to use when making roleplay icons / edits of characters :)
WHY? making edits/icons out of random fanart (including fanart you don't even know the artist of) is bad. it's as simple as that. it obscures credit/links back to the artist, and nobody ever seems to bother to check if the creator is actually OKAY with it. in some cases, they explicitly say "don't use my art / edits for rp icons / edits" and... people just ignore it. and that's bad, plain and simple. the hope here is that by collecting official art and fanartists who allow this, we can discourage people from using random unsourced fanart!
OKAY, WHAT DO YOU DO HERE? i have been helping to reblog either official content (such as official art, promotional art, screenshots, merchandise images, etc) or fanart that the creator of explicitly said is ok to use of various characters from various fandoms for years.
HOW CAN I HELP? if you know of (or are) a fanartist / edit maker who makes fanart / edits you'd be okay with people using with credit, or if you know of archives of official art, send me an ask and i will add you to the rentry masterlist below! + please direct people who make edits to the rentry masterlist so that it can spread.
are you looking for images of a specific character? please send me an ask and i will give you everything i have!
i am also working on a tagslist for each character featured here, but this blog is like 8 years old and changed hands a couple times, so some tags are inconsistent, and this is taking me a while...
