Hi, I was denied for the design team because you guys think I don't understand the copyright policy, but I do. I DO NOT claim any ownership to copyrighted characters at all, although I did draw all of the characters myself, I was NOT the creator. Those are merely Fanart. Fanart is very common. You see it everywhere for anime, video game characters, and everything else. Unless there is some other reason I got denied, I feel that it is a mistake =) And plus, one of your design contests even asks for Super Mario, which is very confusing especially in relations to this topic. Please look into this. Thanks!
