Good morning!

Do you think this illustration would be accepted because of Royalty-Free?.

I attach the image.

I hope you can help me.
Thank you very much.

I don't see any trademark issue; however I'm having trouble imagining the usefulness of the piece. What is that scale next to the largest person?

You might have copyright problems with the large man and scale. That is almost an exact copy of Le Corbusier's Modulor Man. (Here's a link to Google images)

However, I think if you only used the collection of your own people in this style, you are probably okay. Though, I agree with Stacy that they might not sell very much.

You know better. No, don't submit a copy of someone else's work.

OMG Thanks Evan, I had never seen that before! Learn something new every day! That is definitely copyrighted. Agree with Darla, you need to come up with original stuff.
