It was impossible to sleep. :)
DarkPhazeGraphix, "I think you may have misunderstood my comment"
Your orginal question was answered load and clear, but then I posed another question.
MY question was: "Is it okay to use several images to create a composition if you recreate/repaint all in a different medium?"
And the answer is that it is allowed if
"there are clear originality injected into the product"
Therefore the case I quoted above is OK, and the artist doesn't have to ask for permission.
Brian Rice: "This photo and painting show how I use a reference but I am not being a slave to the photo. You will see that I just used the photo as an idea."
So, by United States laws, it allowed to use several images (=anything) to create a composition if you recreate/repaint all in a different medium and inject clear originality into the product.
