Hello guys! What are your thoughts about this illustration?

You need either to submit a model release (if the person is real) or a property release, if the person is not modeled after a living or dead person. With the property release, you sign for both, owner and artist. You need to include a note, that you did not model the person after a real person.

 

If the asset is an AI created asset, you may not be able to claim copyright. Users are bound by their licence agreement. However, if they are in breach, you would have difficulties to prove ownership, if the work is not copyrightable.

Hi,

 

as already mentioned by previous speakers it looks like it CAN be a Person that is well known and then you need a Release. Also if you check the Image on images.google.com it looks like there are many similar Photos out there with the same style. If you can clear that things within the proper Release Form all should be Ok. Hope that helps.

regards,Henrik

My guess is it looks too much like Lady GaGa.

It seems blurry and too tightly cropped (particularly the top of her head). It is also obviously modeled after a popular living celebrity, and it seems unlikely that you'll get a model release from her !

That's the problem with AI. Artificial Intelligence does not come out of the blue, but creates work by analyzing millions of other work and copying style and content. 

 

As of the copyright issue, I know that German copyright law requests a creative process for doing copyrightable art. With photography, this is handled gracefully in favour of the photographer, so that most of the photographs are considered copyrightable. This is, however, not the case for a simple descriptive AI work, like: woman, blonde, colourful.

Did you create this yourself (no AI synthesis)?

Did you submit a signed property release by you as the artist?
