oh dope: Nov 2, 2006; No guilt, it feeds in plain sight

The OP was very informative, but I want to see if I understand copyrights and fair use correctly.
It says in the OP that fair use means I can draw a mustache on the Mona Lisa, so does that mean I've created a new work and can copyright it and sell it? Say I draw a picture of Darth Vader using my own unique style. It's obviously Darth Vader, but it's drawn using my vision and style. Can I copyright that drawing and sell it?
