Confession #572:

(Confessor 568 here) Flora, didn't you hear me? I said FANON. There's more to RWBY's Fanon than OCs, you know. Why not use fanart of the show that doesn't have to do with OCs? It would at least fit more to use fan art than canon pics.

Hell, you could just search DeviantArt or Pixiv for RWBY fanart. At worst, you would just have to ask for the rights to use it. Heck, I don't know if links work in this, but if they do I'll give you a few ones that you could use:

http://cronata.deviantart.com/art/RWBY-406887119

http://xenon54165.deviantart.com/art/RWBY-Future-AU-427939143

But basically, I don't really see any reason to use canon pics instead of Fan-art, considering this is the Fanon wiki, not the Canon wiki, and all it would take it's pretty much just change a single pic, probably resize it a bit.

 * Flora's reply: Ahh, yes. As an artist who doesn't allow people to use my artwork. I should totally use/edit/crop other people's artwork and risk getting sued for it, just so Fanon can look like a Fanon.

Funfact: One of the artists whose art I used for Fanon's bg back in 2014 has contacted me and told me not to use their work, so don't say this like I don't know anything. As long as the featured OC lack of a BG worthy pic, I can't help it -shrugs-

P/s: Most Pixiv users don't even allow people to repost their work, imagine how pissed off they can be if they found out their works are edited.
