Fan art by actual mangaka known for other series

I love seeing fanart by official mangaka - it's cool to be reminded that the end of the day, they're still fans like us. And I've been thinking for a while, wouldn't it be neat if there was a tag (or even meta tag) for that? I think it makes a bigger impact when the fanart's done by professional with published work/series of their own.

I get why "how big does an artist have to be to earn the tag" might be a bit subjective, but surely the big guns deserve it, at least.

We already have something like that: the Popular Artists Draw Other Copyrights pool.

You can add pictures you think qualify for it by adding "pool:Popular_Artists_Draw_Other_Copyrights" to the tags or using the "Add to pool" button under the taglist.

thanks!
