Question:
Is there any rule about fan art that says anything about posting a fanart with public domain images from the internet (in my case, flags)?

If the images you use are public domain, or have a license to be used in other works (like a Creative Commons license), I don't have any problem with people incorporating them into their work. However, it's generally a good idea (and often is required, in the case of a CC license) to give credit to your sources.

Just keep in mind that just because something is on the internet, it doesn't automatically make it public domain.
