RULES FOR USE OF MY STOCK

If you use any of my stock, it is a requirement that you give credit where credit is due, and link back to me. This means a link on your deviation, and a link on my stock deviation. If I do find anyone that has used stock here, and has not given proper credit, I will bite hard. This is extremely important.

Stock may not be used for commercial purposes such as book illustrations, websites, or sold products without my written permission. This also means you CANNOT USE THEM OUTSIDE OF DA (this website) WITHOUT MY EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION. I am on here answering messages nearly every day, and if you want to make prints, ask me first, not after. No permission will be given after a print has been submitted. Current list of those deviants with prints permission can be found at the bottom of this journal.

MAKE AN EFFORT. Changing the colour, dropping a filter over, conversions to black and white or adding a frame is NOT A MANIPULATION. If I wanted to do any of those things with my photos I would have done so already. In extreme cases you will be asked to remove the deviation. No print permission would be given for such minimal work.

Please, respect my models. Not only are they all beautiful people, but they have feelings too, and put a lot of modeling hours in with me. Do not put them in pornographic images. THIS MEANS do not INFLATE them for fetish purposes either. Please, to each their own, but don't make me come after you.

I take suggestions, but not specific requests. I have a lot. of work to do, and stock is only a side hobby.

Have fun already!

Raise your hands! Get them up there real high...so I can see them...
Even you in the closet over there...

Okay. Now how many of you Ringheads have tried valiantly to create artwork based on the realms created by Tolkien and found that there is simply NO. STOCK. AVAILABLE.

Well, okay. I know I have. And it hurts me in my soul.

I have attempted to remedy this somewhat on my own, but I need moar help. Similar to my Arthurian Casting Call, I'm looking for stock/resources to turn into an article for all of you darling nerds like me. This is also a call to stockers who happen to have some of those fantastic new line cinema replica weapons they have just lying around waiting to be photographed OR... that rennfaire costume you have hidden in your closet that would make the world's cutest hobbit.

dA stock has a sore, gaping wound that needs to be filled with elven males ( NO FACIAL HAIR FOR THE LOVA MOSES! )

What's in it for you, stockers? Well, it isn't a contest, but if you manage a true Tolkien-esque image that is easily manippable? I will manip one into a picture for you. Sound fun or interesting?

THAT Said: Here are just some of the Tolkien based images found in my stock gallery, which are available for download by request:





HERE is a link to what I have found so far from the galleries of others: THE HUGE STOCK TOLKIEN-ESQUE COLLECTION I heart you, Collections feature.
