Official art is a bit of a grey area when it comes to the rules (and probably something that should be voted on at some point for the sake of clarification).

As for my personal opinion, I think using official artwork from the Sonic franchise is okay as long as you aren't using the artwork for your character design, as you've stated. Other franchises, or at least ones that aren't Sega-related, are probably not okay.
