I've downloaded a few high resolution videogame artworks that I'll print and frame eventually. The artists and companies put the images out there. For example, the original Japanese ICO cover and some artwork by Orioto. But the images are really high resolution. I don't think for example Artgerm released a suitable image of his Chun Li art for printing.

If it is posted on deviant art but features trademarked characters I am going to suggest that it is unlikely that the artist had permission to use the characters in the first place. Not 100% certain but unlikely based on what I have seen on the site.

So I guess everyone here using an avatar of a licensed or copyrighted character is legally and morally wrong.

EDIT: Further research on the subject forces me to reevaluate my earlier statement.

I would. Your not trying to make a buck off the artist.
The artist should be flattered. I see no problem.

Never done it myself, but I don't really see an issue with doing it. Let's face it, alot of the private commissions (whether they are statues or comic art) typically involve two parties who don't own the rights to the character. The person who commissions the piece and the artist who sketches it. If anything, that's a bigger infringement of copyright than someone downloading a pic and printing it out for private use. At least no one's actually making any money of the latter. The only issue would be, if years down the track Bulls decided to sell it.

I can't see myself using a printed pic. There's way too much stuff out there to buy to fill my wall space.

As long as you aren't selling it, I don't see a problem. You may have a problem if you try to print it outside the home.
I've done this with movie prop replica's, I'll search for an image of the prop used in the film, print it, then place the photo next to the prop replica. Easy since the print is 4x6 or 5x7 and I can do it all "in house".
