Right to the image for illustration, with fictive person illustrated

[World is a Village]

Hi, 

I recently got reminded during the exam process that I need to fill a right to the image, for an illustration, with a 100% fictive person. How can I avoid this kind of situation? 

It doesn't make any sense as the person doesn't exist even in the real life.

Two examples were rejected :

It makes sense, as the moderator does not know, there is no ressemblance with a living person. Submit a property release where you sign as the property holder and the artist ("photographer"), where you declare in the description, that the image is not modeled after a real person.

Moderators need to be on the secure legal side. If they don't know, they will refuse. It's only like that, that a potential buyer get's protected.

BTW: nice work. I love especially the second one. But I would have preferred seeing the eyes wide open, as with the first one.

Thank you for your answer Abambo, I'll follow your advice!

I have a version with the eyes open, but I'm not yet convinced of the quality of the eyes, still work to do on it so, thank you for your encouragement!
