36 images rejected by Lucky Oliver! What??
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Today I got an e-mail from Lucky Oliver that all 36 images (all where 3d renderings) I had sent them where rejected. What? All 36 rejected for the same reason!?
They all had the comment “Illustration has rough/ rugged lines” attached to them. Strange, since even iStockphoto has accepted some of them. One of the images has even been given the rating 5 out of 5 from 4 different people on iStockphoto.
Lucky Oliver also mentions a second problem with the images - they don’t know how I have obtained the source model I used or if I have created it myself. I don’t know but I think that may be the real reason for rejecting the whole batch. I just don’t understand why they think that is a problem. Of course I know the rules and I would never use a model that I wasn’t 100% sure I was allowed to use commercially. Why would I all of a sudden start breaking the rules just because it’s a 3d rendering? If it was a photograph they had not questioned if for example it was really me who had taken the photo - they had just assumed it. Why do they assume I don’t own the rights to the 3d models I use in my 3d renderings?
Well, I guess I wont be sending Lucky Oliver any illustrations for a while. I’ll keep uploading photos to them but it’s not worth the trouble to send any 3d renderings to them. What a shame!
