The photographer that owns the reference photo I used for the back tattoo part of the poster wont allow me to use his stuff for anything beyond personal use so im stopping now. I tried to make a deal but he wont respond. it really sucks...
That sucks. I didn't know that could be an issue. You see all sorts of art in galleries with all sorts of references that don't seem to have to credit them. I mean, people take photos of graffiti and sell them. People paint celebrities from photos they didn't take themselves and sell them.
How does it work?
it sucks
