This collection will go towards getting Nick Wilde modelled in Blender. The model will be free for everyone, including non-contributors. Donate here: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/87JpJ8gsgy
The model will be available at these milestones: 1) Base model is complete (done by a movie industry professional) 2) Texturing is complete (done by me) 3) Furring is complete (done by me) 4) Rigging is complete (done by me) This is done in order to accomodate if anyone wants to make their own version.
The end result will be a full model with texture, rig and fur in Blender. All versions of the model will be linked to here as the milestones are completed.
Fun at parties? it's still Parody.. Still covered by Parody law, you're contributing to a service to pay a modeller, and the model is being given away free, again, parody law.. They're quite safe.

its in the wording here specifcly on the image, you cant declare a copy righted image public domain only the copyright board can do that...thats where they would get rubber on this he should adjust that cover image FAST.
actualy not reaaaaly... its in the wording here specifcly on the image, you cant declare a copy rig
So what you're saying is advertising that they want to make a public domain model of a character and using this image is what's going to be damning Rubber? I've been in the Rule 34 business since 1995, Jabarchives.com is 23 years old, we've never once been shut down, not in 23 years.. and it was almost ALL parody work for most of it's existence till I sort of adopted the furry fandom on it... Believe me DISNEY of all companies (since the first 3 artists on TJA where Disney Animators) is the LAST to even consider sending C&D's let alone going after a single artist doing a public project not intending to profit from it.

im aware i've followed you since the jab archive days actualy as for assuming what Disney will and wont do, making assumptions of a corporate entity is the fastest way to heartache....i know several bronies who can tell you that, including one who was banned from so much as 'drawing' a single pony piece, parody or not, ever again never assume just cause a company has never done something, that it will never do something.
i just happen to be an extreme pessimist who assumes the worst of every situation is all...all your surprises are of the pleasant kind when you think that way.

You're basically saying that it's fine to steal because you didn't get caught when you did. Disney, as big and rich as they are, can't be everywhere on the Web. That and it's economically a bad idea to go after absolutely everyone if they could, of course they will go against the worst offenders first, and the ones with higher visibility. Not only that but this is clearly not a parody, this is just straight copying and recreating an actual design for the sake of it. Really wish people would not use the term Parody for absolutely everything as a defense card when it's clearly not

noone’s stealing. They’re creating their own content. Please don’t put words in my mouth. Again you all really don’t seem to understand parody law. You may want to delve into that a bit. I know I have in the past 23 years. No one is using Disneys art , unless you count up top where it’s used to show that there are zero public domain models, not that nicks official model should be public domain. I think you’re all either over thinking this, not see enough or the very clear details of what was posted, or are just knee jerk reacting to something based on very little fact checking. I’m done. Say and do what ever you want. But I do sincerely hope you do a bit of research first.

You didn't understand the analogy I used with how you think it's fine because you didn't get taken down after those oh so 23 years. Because you didn't "get caught" doesn't mean you're in the right. Equating creating their own content = parody/fair use is an extremely bad analogy. Copyright owners have full control on who has permission to make derivative works, which this is clearly the case. It would be great if you look at what a parody is, because making a model doesn't poke fun on anything and doesn't comment on anything whatsoever. I do find it a lil' ironic when you tell other people to do their research when you're clearly 100% in the wrong here. Don't whiteknight using "I didn't get caught for 23 years so that means it's right" because that is a terrible argument. Look at what a parody is, and Fair Use too by the way since that's something else a lot of people get wrong, and then you may finally realize that 99% of fanart is technically illegal but companies just don't care/mind, unless you make money on their back, again depending on the company

I’ll let you think what ever you want to think. Any thing you say or do will always be right to you. Best of luck in your future endeavors .. go block more people for not wanting to deal with e621’s bs and then go white knight them as well as you put it.

And I'd think you should brush up your own knowledge about parody and copyright laws because they're absurdly wrong. This is clearly not a parody - It doesn't make fun of anything, it doesn't transform the material enough, and it is clearly just a copy of the original character. This is, what you call, a derivative work. For money or not, it doesn't matter - Go try to argue that publishing a movie for free on YouTube is not against the law because you're doing that for free to anyone. Oh and no Fair Use card too - This is clearly not for research, news teaching, reviewing or for teaching

If you’re going based SOLELY on the image above. Fine you’re right since it is officially Disney artwork. If you’re saying this based on the project in a whole that will be creating their own model and distributing it for free. Then you are also absurdly wrong.

Except Neitsuke is actually right in a situation such as this. Fanart, or in this fan made models of characters from a pre-established intellectual property not owned or licensed by OP, is not protected by copyright law and is not parody if your "parody" contains the names and exact likeness of characters without the proper permissions and/or licenses in place. Why do you think parodies in movies and comics don't straight up call characters by their established names and instead use similar names or names based in jokes or puns? Hell, I'll be the first to admit that my art breaks copyright law and some would say "oh you're one to talk about copyright even though you make art of Nintendo-owned characters". However, I will be one to call out those who are thinking they're higher than copyright law, those who assume they're higher than the ones who understand that their works have a legal right to be taken down by the IP holder at a moment's notice, people such as yourself who think because your mediocre gallery site has avoided takedowns that you are somehow invincible against copyright.
That's not the case.
For example, Alvin-Earthworm (a Flash animator known for a long running Mario animation series back around the late 2000's) tried rebooting his well known Mario and Sonic animation series, and attempted to take in donations via Patreon to help keep him on his feet and hopefully get his reboot continued. However, shortly after starting this, Nintendo shut down the entire project and Patreon page, despite the animation being called a "parody" and "derivative work" and only taking in "donations". Nintendo, and the same for any company that holds IP copyright, has every right to do so, therefore those saying it's illegal to do something like this aren't entirely wrong.
I'm not one to say "I hope this gets a takedown" because I don't think that at all. But, if it does get taken down due to OP making money off of this (and don't try denying it's non-profit when out of $1500, someone somewhere makes a profit here, be it OP themselves or the modeller they're paying using said money), don't say I and others didn't warn you.
Except Neitsuke is actually right in a situation such as this. Fanart, or in this fan made models of

After passing the question to a lawyer, I'm siding with Cheetahjab. And also donating, because my take is that I've decided how much money I'm willing to put on the chance for other artists to have a model they can use. I've decided that I'm willing to lose some money toward a good cause (especially since in the low chance that something bad happens, my neck isn't exposed).
I'm super happy to hear this, and super happy that we might be seeing more awesome 3D art in the future!

First, don't bet on the majority of things coming from this being anything short of amateurish and terrible. Things like these tend to just lead to more people begging for a vastly inferior and downgraded SFM port of the model because everyone and their mother refuses to use Blender and instead uses SFM for some ungodly reason.
Second, I for one don't buy this "I talked to a lawyer and now I'm siding with Jab" statement. Seeing as you conveniently excluded anything regarding what said lawyer had explained about copyright law and this donation pool, I refuse to believe that you both actually talked to a lawyer and that you're not just siding with Jab due to your lack of knowledge around copyright and/or simply due to Jab being a popular artist. If you do post legitimate proof, I may change my mind about not believing you talking to a lawyer.
Third, labeling this "a good cause" is ridiculous. A good cause would be something like "I'm creating a public domain 3D model of a character that I actually hold the rights/licensing to use, and the profits are going to [insert charity] instead of going towards my own pocket". This is just paying someone to organize and pay someone else to create a mesh while OP just doodles some base colors on a UV map, adds some procedural texturing for realism, ticks on some hair particle system modifier, and slaps on a rig using Rigify. I work with Blender as well, I know what workflow goes into this kind of thing.
Now, I for one would love to see some new 3D models of characters I like, but I'm not stupid enough to stoop to defending blatant copyright infringement and popufur's unintelligible commentary; instead I understand that no matter the intent, no matter the financial situation, no matter the medium, this (as well as every 3D model of characters owned by an unaffiliated third party) has every right to be DMCA'd.

Boy howdy! I get what you're saying, and I kind of understand where your coming from. I'm not expecting super much, and... yeah I'll admit that in prefer to live in the land of blissful ignorance. Half people here seem to believe it's fine, and since there's no risk to me other than what money I've decided I'm comfortable losing entirely, I'm gonna just trust that it'll be fine.
If I'm wrong and it gets DMCA'd, then oh well, but at this moment, I'm not too stressed about the outcome one way or another.

Unless there are some jerks around not liking what he does, the chances of it getting taken down is pretty much non existent. Now just to be clear, we're not exactly against him doing that with the model. I am personally okay with it, since it doesn't involve actually selling the model which would annoy the hell out of me, however labelling the model as public domain while he doesn't even own the character is, how to put it nicely, kind of arrogant. What we happen to not like about it is this thought of it being parody/fair use while it is clearly not. It has become annoying to see artists/whiteknights use this card for absolutely everything. It gets hilarious when you then see some artists forbidding people to draw their OCs / forcing people to pay up so you can draw their OCs (Tsampikos' 20$ Patreon tier for instance) yet they're doing just that themselves with other people's intellectual property.
Bottom line is, we're fine with what he's doing, as we are with commissions, but please don't hide that behind the parody excuse when it's clearly not the case. Hopefully you won't go full blocky like that other individual higher up, who blocks people when they basically lost the argument and don't know what they're saying

I get the reasoning. I *want* to disagree, but I don't have enough personal knowledge about parody law to say one way or the other... I honestly just hate how quickly people were to jump on them and try their damndest to prove then wrong. Call me what you want, in a no-risk environment like this (for donators at least), just let them say it's protected under parody law. It makes them feel better, it makes me feel better, it should make everyone feel better. And if big Corp decides to take it down, then us arguing and bashing each other wouldn't have changed anything anyway and only served to make people angry or sad.
I'm washing my hands of it because I wanna be happy. Protected or not, next money I'm getting, a little of it goes to this.
