Um, good question ... it's not quite as easy as "just find a photo" ... that turns into: find a photo, do some fixes, get it properly scaled and then find someone to print it seamlessly (large sheet printer) ... rather work with my hands than a computer (though they are darned useful) ... and think I actually prefer a painting here ... better able to blend a slightly impressionistic photo with my somewhat impressionistic modeling. If I could do "photo realistic" modeling like Chuck, maybe I'd use a photo in the back! Of course, he just takes his outside and makes it "work" ...
So, I guess I'm just screwed by my own inabilities and trying to make do ... or something!
