Evening all. I'm looking at getting some images, and came across fotosearch.com - anyone used them before?

They want 25 dollars per image which i'm thinking is pretty steep (although i only have one comparison site at this stage).

I need 3 crest images high res probably 4000x4000 300dpi minimum, preferably bigger, for use on t-shirts. Now these guys (fotosearch.com) say in their T&C's that the redistribution by me is fine so long as the buyer doesn't redistribute.

Anyone got any recommendations for other websites where I could get a better deal where the same T&C's apply. Cheaper the better! 8)

Having spent the last 2 days drawing [s]breasts[/s] crests, transferring them to the computer and then turning them into vectors, i've finally given into defeat and decided to out source some.

Any help much appreciated.....ayyyyyye fank you.

Romster

This is starting to give me a headache......just emailed iStockphoto with details of my extact requirements so i'll see what they say but I doub't i'll be able to use it for a T without the extended license......

istockphoto is just teasing me, 135 credits needed to buy the image I want with extended license to re-distribute and sell on 2000 t-shirts.

120 £131.25 (£1.09/credit)
300 £314.75 (£1.05/credit)

Hmmmmmmmmm, i am thinking that 25 dollars was pretty cheap!!
