Can you include drawings of copyright video game characters in another video game if they are original art based on these characters?
No, because your drawings of the protected characters are derivative works of the characters, which is one of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder.
If the use is clearly parody or commentary, you might be able to defend the use as fair, but it would be very risky to rely on that. You would want to talk to an experienced copyright attorney before going in that direction.
