Just to give you an indication of why Vicki is generally set-up to look like Pamela Anderson. In my gallery I have several pics. Only one of which is a pinup. And not a very good one at that. It has garnered more viewings than all of my other pics combined. As for the Celebrity issue. I think Renderosity puts the kybosch on Celebrity pics as they do on explicit child images. California and many US states have strict laws concerning the use of Celebrity likeness in that the main source of income for many celebrities is selling thier likeness. I for one would love to be able to make Celebrity models. I'd love to recreate that diner scene with Elvis, Marilyn, Bogart and James Dean. You know the one I mean? Here is a view from lawguru.com The likeness of a celebrity is a primary asset to the celebrity. The authorization for you to capture that likeness in a painting does not include a license, unless specifically provided for, to photograph or create prints of the painting. California law is fairly clear on this issue. Reply Posted By: Sheldon G. Bardach Law Offices of Sheldon G. Bardach 1305 Via Zumaya Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274-2821 US
