Comic backgrounds

[PovertyRow]

You could have drawn the backgrounds yourself by now....

What exactly are you looking for? What are you trying to do?

 

i want to put them in strips with people infront of them. saves drawing them.

 

Okay, then. The cheapest way would be to buy a digital camera and do it yourself as many photographers like to see some money when people use their images.

 

Ignoring that option you could try something like http://www.gettyimages.com/ for professional images.

 

You could also just go to http://images.google.com, check off "wallpaper-sized" in the Advanced Image Search, and hope that you find truly "free" images or no one notices that you ripped them off. A very dicey situation if you plan to make any money on what you're doing.

Or you could go to www.alltheweb.com

and search for pictures.

 

Rob is correct. You're going to be gambling at using something that has a copyright.

You could be in for trouble if that is the case.

 

And, anything published on the internet, unless it specifically says so, is copyrighted and not for free use.

I was kind of hoping that i could find a site run by some really generouse person who offers them for free. I want them to be comic backgrounds and not photographs.

Steal some from my site: http://www.goldcomics.com Click on the MLJ cover scans link.

 

Old stuff, but should help. If you're stealing cover artwork with cool backgrounds, I'd start off with Top-Notch Comics #7, August 1940. Kick-[!@#%^&^] Golden Gate Bridge cover.

So.....exactly how many prostitutes are you looking for and why do they need to be able to draw buildings and stuff?

Since you are using photoshop just use those photographs as a template and draw your backgrounds over them (photo placed on the different layer)

Good luck finding someone who Gerhard's for free. Inked architectural work is a pain in the [!@#%^&^] to do.

 

Again, you can buy clip-art. The getty link offered yesterday will work for that too, as will a trip to the local bookstore/ software store. You could also search for illustrations from the 1800s that have fallen into the public domain.
