In Response To: Not a HUGE issue. (Hawaiian Pig) : It is no where near uncommon for an artist to use references. Not only that, : but for internal use, where you have to churn out image after image, this : drawing over a photo doesn't seem so villainous. Of course, as the : photographer, having your content sold in a book is another story, but I'm : sure the proper legal avenues were explored. : As a photomanipulator myself, 'drawing things on top of another' is no simple : task. All you need to do is make sure that the content you start with is : deemed Free-use. Going from this to this is no simple task. In fact, : I'd say it's harder than snapping a photo, but I'm not a photographer. And : that one involves only one chop of one photo... you wouldn't know how : many photos I went through for this or this . : If no one used other sources for derivative work, the world would be a boring : place. I didn't really mean to imply that Barrett was lazy; on the contrary, I'm sure he busts his ass to ensure that Halo's art is top-notch (The Old Mombasa environment was genius, IMHO). I just needed to expand my post a bit beyond "ZOMG same pix!", and I guess I was a bit more critical than I should have been...
