Listen up here Fellas. There is a bigger issue here at stake, that you, Kris, may not have considered. When you make these renditions, your right is to the Method in which you create them. I believe that the two biggest Corporations in the world may come knocking on your door when YOU set out to make a profit on WHAT you are rendering. I believe, from what I can see, that you are doing renderings of Camaros, Chevelles, Shoebox cars, Mustangs, etc. When you decide to profit from images that GM and Ford own, friend, you have officially woke up two sleeping Giants that are like Pit Bulls with HIV when it comes to protecting shapes, images, and even names (Like Camaro- I believe that is written on the majority of the 69 Camaro Renderings you have done). I feel certain that you did not get the permission of these Rather large corporations to reproduce their images. Now Lets see, you can charge for your work, you state a price and we in the hobby agree to trade you money for your work. BUT, when you set out to profit from your work (the method)and somehow claim ownership in the images, you have crossed a major line. The process(method) is where your profit should end. When you set out to make money on the contents of your work-IE images of Camaros, Chevelles, Mustangs, etc., well friend 350.00 is not nearly enough to have your financial lower intestines handed to you on a platter by a fleet of lawyers out to literally protect every penny of non authorized profit that is not going in their collective pockets. Trust me on this.

You need to pick a different Hill to die on my friend.
