Topic: Should a piece of fanart be tagged with the original creator's tag?

Posted under General

I found a few fan pieces, but because the creator doesn't have an artist tag here yet, it made it look like it's the work of the original artist at first. I didn't change any tags, but do we tag fan art like that here?

This was the first time I saw a couple of lone fan pieces like this, with a solo artist tag that's just for the inspiration. I guess my main grumble is it felt misleading at first, especially since the style was similar enough I thought it was just some earlier, less refined works from them.

No. The artist tags we add are only those for the artist/artists who actually drew the piece. If the character's original artist had no hand in drawing the picture, you don't tag them.
