Well, first of all, the package would not be called "Buffy" or "Sarah Michelle Geller". Probably "WTB's Head-Texture for Neo-Durga Mythology Character" or something equally vague. Secondly, when you look at the texture map, it no longer "Looks" like SMG per se, as things get distorted when trying to conform everything to a template. As for relation to the original photographs, I'd have to check around on this but I think that such huge amounts of cutting/pasting/distorting/frankensteining eliminate the threat of infringement. The texmap compared to the original photos are not recognizable. I realize "just a head map" may not appeal to some. That's fine, can't please 'em all. I'm not a body texturer due to reasons stated. What I plan to do is to include 3 or 4 different tones of the head texture, pale, tan (shown), somewhere in between, and downright ghastly. Also, a couple different shades in lipstick. Each change would have the appropriate Material Pose file. Also toying around with including a "Neo Durga" Ultimate Morph file, a set of "Durga-Rific" Poses for all of Neo-Durga's Demon Slaying activities. All demo pics in the store will show the texture on a non-morphed Vicky. It may very well be that the Store will not allow the package to be sold, for whatever reasons. I abide by them in all things.
