Janis, you have not responded. I hope it is OK with you that I just uploaded the avatar using your stink bug photo.

It is at: http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=137040

Thanks!

We are copying our web master, also named Daniel, to see if he can advise you on posting the image as a comment.
Stink Bug is two words in the entomology world, though in popular culture, the compound word has gained acceptance.

Thank you very much!

I will give Janis a few days to respond to this post before I make and begin using the avatar containing her fantastic photo. Actually, only the “cut-out” bug, not the whole photo, is to be used.

Is there any way the finished avatar can be put on this page or message board so that Janis can see how her photo is to be used?

It’s funny that “stink bug” is supposed to be two words but my word processor allows it to go through as one word. I hope BOTH ways are acceptable because I have been writing it as ONE word!

Dear stinkbugb,
The actual photos submitted to What’s That Bug? are copyrighted by the photographers, though our submission form indicates that we may use the images on What’s That Bug? as well as for What’s That Bug? endorsed purposes. We allow images to be used for educational purposes, and for non-profit usage. Though your request is not typical for us, as long as you are not selling the image, we do not have a problem with the use you indicate, but if you are contacted by the actual photographer, and they object to the use, we would request that you dispense with the use.

May any of your archive photos be downloaded and used as part of art work? For example, can one (or a part of one) of your photos be put a T-shirt that might be sold?

If they can NOT be used for commercial purposes THEN may I put Janis’s Florida Stinkbug photo on a virtual 3-D t-shirt to be worn by a virtual 3-D female model? Then, I want to use the render of this model in a stinkbug t-shirt SIMPLY as an avatar to represent me on message boards/forums. It will NOT be used commercially.

Thank you.

I went back to the folder with the photos of the stinkbug and found another
view of the “beak” and it does seem to fit under the bug. The photos I
took were not focused on that part and not enough depth of field to be very
sharp. He did not like being upside down so only a couple of shots were
possible. He is gone now so next year maybe. He does like some nectar
also. Janis

The beak folds under the bug’s head and thorax.
