I felt the same way for awhile. [@ErsatzEmperor] makes a good point about using artwork instead. It simply feels... awkward(?) to use real people at times. However, I did cave in and use real people for one of my RPs.

I consider it awkward to use any art that is designed for a character other than my own. Unless I build from the picture, in which case, it doesn't matter what the origin is - it's almost impossible for me to find a suitable picture of any sort.

I wouldn't consider real pictures weird, just because I consider them to be actors attempting to represent the character, just like an art piece or some other form of picture would.
