Let me start by apologizing that my last post was not in compliance with the forum rules.  So here's Take 2 hopefully made correctly.  First let me state that I am the copyright holder for these images, and am granting use rights with the following conditions:

1) All use must be for promotional, portfolio, or other non income generating use! (ie no direct sales or use to generate sales (ie no books, pay websites, album covers etc.).

2) NO IMAGE may be posted or published in any media targeted or billed as pornography, adult entertainment, or otherwise!  Nor will any modification made imply or express anything of a pornagraphic use or nature. This work is of fetish, but will not be used as anything other than art!!!

3) Wherever possible you will credit or link to the following:
Photography by M. Schechtman / Retinal Fetish  MM#547657
Models Elena Bathory  MM# 607726  and Laurel Aslaksen  MM#1534519

4) That myself and both models have full promotional / portfolio use rights of your completed / posted work (same non -income generating restrictions)  with crediting attributed to you as digital artist.

5) That you restrict your use to images # 141 through # 345 posted at

(all sizes / resolutions up to and including original - raw files can be made available by request if needed)

So having covered (I hope) the requirements here's the challenge:

See what you could make from these images!  I had envisioned a "comic Book" like narrative frame with a frame style page layout, titles, and dialog balloons accompanying the narrative, including possibly replacing the superwhite background with illustrated / painted background plates; but just because that was my concept in no way are you bound by it.  Let me see your best / most creative use.  This is a fun chance to create a unique piece of digital artwork.  My only request is please do NOT just retouch a single image (though you CAN make a single shot into a derivative work!)!!!!  Create something wonderful!!!  Lets see some real artistry!  I look forward to seeing the results.... and please PM me if you want / need raw files and or to let me know where I can find / download full res finished works.

Here are some quick low res samples to inspire / get the juices flowing:

So no takers?  Is it the fetish nature of the pics, or just not something anyone is interested in?
