Debra,
In most cases I would say that Michelle is probably right. However, I did start thinking about artist Susan Kliewer, who did the beautiful Bronze Statue of Sedona Schnebly that is displayed in front of the Sedona library. She had a selection of old photos to work from, but she used a descendant of Sedona's, I think it was a granddaughter to capture the lifelike features on the statue.
You are one artist that thinks outside the box, and you have a lot to show for it.
If you decide to go for it, charge accordingly. Getting a likeness from someone else's mind would be a real challenge! You would deserve to charge a lot more for that alone if you could pull it off! In this case even if it is not an exact likeness, who would really know? If it makes the client happy, then who's to say it's not a success?
