cosplay models/photographers and tips from artists
Just wondering about rates to take shots for reference. Is there a difference on scale money wise Basically looking for shots in a wide range. Some of the characters I am interesting in doing sketches of Gotham City Sirens, Green Arrow, Marvel, DC`s Death(which I am shocked I haven`t seen much on here) Dc`s The Shade is another potential character I am surprised I haven`t come across more of. Just want to build up my port. Also Star Wars or any type of movie tv. Also a question to Photographers and models is it an issue for artists asking about using your shots as a reference. I can see that being an issue. Any artists have any tips feel free to give me insight. Oct 17 17 10:03 pm Link speaking for myself as both a photographer and a sometimes model, While it's always an honor to be asked, you might want to familiarize yourself with https://www.google.com/search?q=copyrig … p;ie=UTF-8 and https://www.google.com/search?q=right+o … Y_JsSpK7wE Ii you haven't already. It's often murky water to be wading in because that's where the crocodiles lurk. Depending on how closely your work follows the original, how recognizable the original is in your work, including how recognizable the model is, your reason for copying it, and various other questions, you may find yourself in deep legal trouble ---- or you mayhave no trouble at all. At the very least it would be a good idea to get permission(s) first. All IMHO as always, of course. Oct 18 17 07:23 pm Link A LOT has to do with how much of a copy is it? Nearly all art is derivative in some way... I'd suggest rather than doing copies, one takes inspiration from something and creates a new spin on it - a personal interpretation. All of which is part of learning new things. For something like comic book type images - it's super easy to put various faces and/or body types in the same style hero suit. Change the lighting, color, location to something you've made up and it's original. If you can't imagine creating a face without copying one - maybe that's a skill to work on? If you still can't - take phone pics of some people in the mall or on the street and use one of them. Combine different parts of different faces like a Mr. Potato head, for your own new face. Put Dolly Parton's hair on J Lo's head. etc. etc. Point is if you create something new/original, you don't need to ask for permission. :-) Oct 19 17 10:19 am Link jasonartGa wrote: A couple thoughts.
