Images by Imi/Lex

Announcements Photo Research

Hi all. I work for a military history/wargames publisher and one of our current projects is the 2nd edition of our WWII wargame rules - Battlegroup Panzer-Grenadier. We’ve more or less exhaaiusted the copyright free images we have and I’m trying to talk the publisher into going full colour this time. I really like the recoloured style that both Imi and Lex have been doing and think it would give the book a very interesting style with a load of those images in.

I am considering buying one of the packs advertised by the site owner regardless (well, trying to talk my boss into it!) but obviously these packs don’t contain the recoloured ones done by Imi and Lex.

Is it actually possible to buy those and who would we actually be buying them from if it was? I guess it’s a little murky as the rights on the recoloured images rest with Imi/Lex but the images are owned by the site owner?

I’m just the designer here, I don’t really handle the doing deals bit and the boss may prefer to pay in credit rather than cash for these as he is also a retailer. I can understand if that wasn’t good enough. As you can see from the website (link below) its a legitimate company with a pretty big selection of products that might be of interest to you, I’m sure we could work something out.

I suggest you PM Procyon (site owner) for questions like this

Ok thanks.

I attempted to contact the site owner about this but havent got anywhere. I did also try and contact Imi and Lex privately but also got nowhere there either. Lex isnt in the member list (as ‘Lex’ anyway) and Imi can’t/won’t take personal messages. Quite frustrating.

Hi PartizanPress,

Try making a comment on one of the pictures each of them has posted recently and they usually will respond. Imi stays mainly to the picture site (even though he is a forum member). And Lex is exclusively to the picture site.

Already ahead of you :cool: I just wanted to give all the other avenues a proper try before I had to resort to making personal messages in the photo comments.

Hi Partizanpress,

Have you also tried to contact Serg (on the pic forum)? His colorization skills are pretty impressive as well.

I hope you will find what you are looking for…

Thanks Kortxero, I’ve sent Serg a PM. I assume you meant Sergej. If not someone’s going to be rather confused.

#9

Well, the person I told you about is called SERG (capitalized) on the pictures forum (not this forum). The problem now is he has left with some other Russian members (like Lex) due to irreconcilable differences with the admins (as they say in Hollywood divorces).
So you might have hard time reaching them now, I am afraid… :neutral: Sorry about that.
But we’re glad Imi is still around :wink:
