Not trying to beat a dead horse, but surely this is something that IDW could provide assistance on. You're the artist, your role should be the creative element, not the tedious technical element of getting headshots.
Providing that the rights were available (not even sure how that would work, as "stills" of Culp for example would be from multiple copyright holders, etc.), IDW must have a few "summer students" or better yet "unpaid interns" (ha!) that could catalog a bunch of headshots into a database. (Left side, right side, high angle, blah blah blah).
You compose your scenes and you need ... Culp shot from the left side from a kind of high angle, blah blah blah - the database is searched and 3 shots show up.
Given wanting to set such a thing in one time period (?), there'd also be a limit of shots from say 1963-1966, further limited by hairstyle, etc. But anyway, my point, if I have one, is that IDW could do the legwork for you in compiling shots into some organized form, so that you could compose your scenes and find the appropriate one with relatively minimal effort.
Anyway, if using Cult is really something you're passionate about, then I hope it's something you get to do. It couldn't hurt to ask, right?
I'm looking forward to this Photo-Novel, though. Good stuff.

Using someone like Culp would present a huge logistical problem. There are literally tens of thousands of images from the TOS episodes available online, and, as I have admitted, I have so many of the episodes stored in my head that finding the shots I need is relatively easy. But finding shots of Culp, or any other actor who did not actually appear on STAR TREK would be a nightmare! |
