Meteo Xavier Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Howdy. As I have some album projects coming up here soon, I want to start investing in buying Royalty Free artwork to make use so I don't have the same problems I did with ESPERS and other commission jobs. One of them I want some high quality anime style artwork to use for album art, but a Google Search has not produced for me tangible results. Most of what I found on the more popular (I guess), royalty free sites were pretty basic, quasi-anime models at best. I'm more looking for things in the realm of: http://www.hybridlava.com/wp-content/uploads/Anime_003.jpg http://www.shareyourwallpaper.com/upload/wallpaper/anime/apple-seed/apple-seed_ffdd0f71.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2066/2348307514_52f18743e4.jpg http://www.shareyourwallpaper.com/upload/wallpaper/anime/tenjo-tenge/tenjo-tenge_5aaadf7d.jpg (All SFW) So that's all I'm really wanting to know - is there a website somewhere that has RF anime pictures like these somewhere? Surely I figure there has to be one, but I haven't found it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Briggs Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 out of curiosity, what problems did you run into with the commissioned work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was too cheap and Sephfire had to come to my rescue. It also added weeks of confusion to an already troubled production (before I contacted Sephfire). I could budget more money now but I still have no real idea what I really want as far as graphical interpretation, so commissioning an artist is still kinda outside my realm of possibility. I tend to do the best when I find already made stuff and say, "Yep, thats what I want." and I was hoping to add high quality anime illustrations into that somehow without going through the royalty shit. If I'm going to purchase art, I want to only purchase it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiiii Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 This could get tricky. Even if you do find such a site, there's a chance that they're not what they claim to be, and their contents are being used without the creators' permission.

Meteo Xavier Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Really? Like which sites do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiiii Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I don't know any off hand, but it's a very likely scenario, seeing how common intellectual property is. For example, the "artist" they paid for the images is really a thief jacking images from real artists. Happens all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
