@blacklemon I can't remember who said this, but art is essentially copying and transformation. No art is truly creative.
In fact, a lot of critically acclaimed or simply famous art where copies of existing things.
Think the matrix was original for its time? Nope, just a rip off a comic.
But that's OK. Its still a form of creative media. Being able to adapt existing content, or modify it to make it your own is what makes art great.
If someone loves Kirby games and chooses to draw Kirby in new settings, or fighting a new foe, then great! Just because they didn't create the character does not mean they are not expressing themselves.
