As for referencing/influencing - I can't make anyone unsee the image, so the "ghost" of it will be always more so there.
And I respect that completely, whenever I am granted permission to use an artist's work I make sure to always do justice to the original (in terms of quality and devotion). I wouldn't create a pathetic rendering of a photo someone took a lot of time and energy to originally create, you know?
The drawing I'm working on now was taken by a photographer I know, and I'm about 95 hours into it and 15% done (22"x30"). I make sure I put energy into my work. And at the same time I would never want to recreate or 'copy' a reference. Instead I aim to create a work of art parallel to it, if that makes any sense.
Oh well, maybe in the far future you could check out my work and see if i'm worthy of permission haha I'm in love with this photo still
let's stay in touch.
