So, to be fair, you're paid for your service of creating the art, not for the copyrighted material. I would think that is different than to creating a piece based on copyrighted material and then selling the finished art. Anyways, Bungie does not get ownership of their art, just the ability to sue for profits they make from selling it and/or damages, at best, If they can prove it violated copyright and it is not transformative/under fair use.
Also... while I'm here... god why white and orange it looks so bad, doesn't match what is in game, and just... no.
Yeah, I'm not too familiar with US fair use, seems fair use if they weren't profiting from it, but it's harmless really as long as they don't mass sell prints I guess?
It's nerf so it's gotta be orange right aha, as least it isn't blue and orange!
