Ok, this is going to sound like a rant, but I swear it's not, I just wanted to offer clarification to the question that was asked.
Hate to rain on your parade, guys, 'cos I love the hell out of Paul's work especially, but although you can probably get away with it, especially on a small scale, if you're talking strict legalities, this sort of thing is defined as a Derivative Work under the Copyright Act, and is therefore considered copyright infringement unless you have permission in writing from the copyright owner, which in this case is probably Mike Mignola.
Google "Copyright Act Derivative Work", or check outΒ www.legalzoom.com/intellectualβ¦
Like I said, I love Paul's work and love his stuff and have bought several of his pieces, but if you want to know the facts, that's them.
As a rule of thumb, if you want to be strictly legal, ask the person who made it for permission. Without it, you don't have a leg to stand on if s/he gets upset about you ripping off their stuff.
Mind you, as a general rule, most artists consider fan art to be a compliment. George Lucas is known for actively encouraging fans to do Star Wars pieces. But ultimately, it's his Copyright and his choice. If he chose not to, that's also his choice.
There you go. I'm gonna shut up now.
