I did model my character off a photo I found on Google. It took several hours but I tracked down the photographer. Funny thing is, out of the millions of billions of photos, I happened to be attracted to one taken by a Coloradoan who doesn't live too far from me. His website just has the copyright at the bottom with no additional information. Now I'm not too sure if it's technically copyright infringement to create a character in a very close likeness to his photo. Laws are hard.
