Protected Characters - What to Check

Review these points before delivery, licensing, publication, or client approval.

Creator checks

  • Check whether the image resembles a known character, brand, franchise, logo, or celebrity style.
  • Separate internal concept images from visuals cleared for public or commercial use.
  • Record when a client approves a safer direction, revised prompt, or replacement image.

Client questions

  • Is this only a concept, or is it intended for publication?
  • Has anyone checked the image against known brands, characters, or likenesses?
  • Who signs off before the image is used commercially?
