Comment on Is Reference Bad? by Rahll

Absolutely in agreement. Some of the most popular artists out there consistently use references. Boris Vallejo, one of my favorites often used himself, his wife Julie Bell and other models for their art - which can be found on book covers everywhere.

And while I lack an artistic skill, I am a writer and I admit writers use references too. Influences off of other media are how great stories are born. Legit. ^_^
