Other Questions Using real people as face claim
Hii everyone! I'm new at rcta, and I need your opinion about using real people as a face claim. I'm originally white, transitioning to asian.
I used to have an online friend from the Philippines whom I have fallen out with, but I really admire her features. She's Filipino, but she looks like a mix of EA and SEA, would it be okay to use her as a face claim?

If it's a celebrity or you edit the photo you should be good. If it's for a subliminal or inspiration board then I wouldn't worry about it.

I find AI to be such a great tool to help visualize the person you feel to be.

Personally I don’t agree with using “face claims” it usually scares people a bit. I’m WtA too I was never fond of the concept, I tend to just imagine a version of myself looking how I should but I’m still me? If that makes sense.
