New Photoset from www.CharacterDesigns.com (finally!)

Oct 8th 2010

Hey we’re back. Work had been crazy (Uncharted 3, Art Center, Otis, Tofu Girls etc).  Here is photo shoot base on the popular anime High School of the Dead or HOTD. Just in time for Halloween. It was taken a year ago with a group of friends, photographers, make-up artist and models.  I would like to thank everyone who volunteered for this shoot.

Tofu Girls is now on Google Plus!  Add us, or search for: Tofu Girls

We'll be at the Tofu Girls booth at Comic Con.  Look for us at booth #2445, right next to Marvel Comics. 

 


The mission of Tofu Girls is to create a cute and sassy brand that is inspired by girls for girls.

Here are photos I took at the Powerhouse museum Sydney Australia. This was part of The Steam Revolution Exhibit.

http://www.powerhousemuseum.com

“For more than 200 hundred years, steam did almost everything … pumped water, drove factories, and powered ships across oceans and ploughs through fields. Steam turbines still provide 90% of our electricity. The steam revolution shows how steam touched the lives of millions. Twelve working steam engines, ‘hands-on’ displays, old boilers, videos and much more show how steam engines developed, what they did and how they changed the world.”

Creative Commons License


I’ve added a creative commons license for all the images on this site
and here are the points you need to know:

- Usage in commercial work IS allowed: you can use it for reference (directly painting the image is fine),
for your photo manipulations, for textures and anything else you want
to sell. You just need to link back to my site and mention that it was
my work that you used.
- You CANNOT simply take the image as it is and sell it as it is. I do
NOT have the rights to the likeness of the model. I have the rights to
just the image itself as it is on my site.
- Redistributing the images in their original form WITHOUT profit is
perfectly fine. I'd love it if you used it in a classroom setting or
as demo examples or just to spread the word. Save it to your computer
for personal use! Again, all I ask is a link back to the site if you
are posting it elsewhere on the internet.
- Obviously, do not take credit for my work, but I haven't had any
problems with that so far. You guys have been really great.

I hope that's clearer for everyone that's been asking questions
regarding the usage of the images on this site. Thanks! -Hong Ly
