Due to Samurai Jack™’s popularity, we receive a lot of Fan Art submissions for their program. Warner Brothers will only be able to review a limited number of entries, which means many designs that match the guidelines may not be approved.

We work as quickly as we can to review designs. Please keep in mind that a team of real people process these fan art submissions, not robots. It may take 90 days or more to process your fan art submissions.

General Guidelines
Applies to all fan art submissions in the Partner Program

Be original.
While your work will include a brand’s Intellectual Property (like a company’s logo or a character from a TV show), it’s important to add something original of your own - make it unique.
Do your research - make sure your design hasn’t already been done.
Don’t submit screenshots or imagery taken directly from the property.

Be mindful of explicit content.
Some brands might be ok with adult content, but others aren’t. Check each brand’s guidelines if you want to know more about what each partner thinks is ok.

Be creative.
Play with styles and mediums.
Get inspiration from the brand - watch, read, or play it again.

Property Guidelines

Dos

Do rewatch the quest of Jack to get inspiration.
Be original with your fan art!
Do feel free to reference icons and other elements from the show.
Do try out different styles for your fan art.
Do be sure to leave the logo as-is if you’re incorporating it into your design. Altered logos will unfortunately not be approved.

Do have fun!

Don'ts

Don’t use any 3rd party content or ideas, including mash-ups of Samurai Jack with other properties.
Don’t submit unoriginal content such as: show logos used alone, existing merchandise designs, screenshots, plagiarized works, etc.
Don’t submit works that are racist, hateful, violent, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate. Works that are deemed inappropriate will not be approved and taken down.
Do not title or tag work with obscene or inappropriate names. They will not be approved.
