[quote=@FantasyChic][b]As I've grown as an RPer, I've decided I don't like art as my FC. I prefer real people, but that's personal preference. If you use art, I feel you need to give the artist credit for their work. It's different with a celebrity since they can be easily found (though I will, of course, tell ppl who my FC is if asked).[/b]

Either way, I would just google dive whenever I have free time. It can be a lot of fun!

So we’re supposed to credit the artist but not credit a photographer who is beholden to the same copyright protections? Seems like a weird double standard to me. That said, crediting someone is always a good thing to do—but sometimes sourcing things back can be difficult for a variety of reasons, so there is a lot of hurdles no matter what approach you take.
