Fan art or fanart is artwork that is based on a character, costume, item, or story that was created by someone other than the artist. The term, while it can apply to art done by fans of characters from books, (such as the Harry Potter series) is usually used to refer to art derived from visual media, such as comics or movies. Examples of fan art would be artwork depicting Wolverine from the X-Men comics, or depicting Orlando Bloom as Legolas from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. Usually, it refers to artworks by amateur artists, or artists who are unpaid for their fan creations - so that, for example, a professional comic adaptation of the Lord of Rings movie would not be considered fanart.
