Give Me a Shot To Remember: Long Entry

Stock Rules




:D :bulletred:RULES FOR USE OF MY STOCK:bulletred: :D

:bulletblue: 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.

:bulletblue: 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.

:bulletblue: 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.

:bulletblue: 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.

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

:bulletblue: Have fun already!


The Unloved Stock Project




It goes like this.

We all have them: those stock shots that you, personally, love. I don't mean in that freaky way. I mean the shots that you took or modeled for that you adore, and think it will see plenty of uses...when in actuality it sits among the dredges of your stock gallery and grows old.

Sometimes one deviation is made...

Sometimes it's downloaded a bajillion times, but you never see any result...

If you're anything like me, and had a metric ton of shots like that, I figured now was as good a time as any to spread a little lovin. Stock artists of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to join. To do so:

:bulletblue: Choose several unloved images from your gallery and zip them into a file. Submit it to your account!
:bulletblue: Make a gallery folder titled "Unloved Stock" (it doesn't have to be a zip, you can just put images in there.)
:bulletblue: If you want, notify me so I can add your images to my collection to keep track of everyone that's participating.
:bulletblue: If you wish, you could set a time limit or offer prizes for your favorite use of those images.
:bulletblue: If you don't feel like explaining what the folder is for, you can link people to this journal.

MY Terms for the Unloved Stock Challenge are:

:bulletblue: Use any image from my Unloved Stock gallery folder and follow stock rules accordingly.
:bulletblue: You have until December 1st to submit a deviation for consideration for a prize, if you wish to compete.
:bulletblue: The winner will have their choice of 2 exclusive stock packs from myself.



That's an awful long time to play around, so have fun. :D

:peace:


GALLERY UNDER CONSTRUCTION




You might have noticed: I know a lot of you had. I had over a thousand images in my gallery, but about 80% of them are missing. ZOMG!

Okay, they aren't gone forever, so don't panic. If you have stock of mine stored on your hard drive and wish to use it, you may. (following the same stock rules you see in this journal.) Link me to your work when it's up.

What's up with this?

I'm adopting a new system to prevent copyright infringement as much as possible. dA's system is good, but it doesn't help that just ANYONE, account or not, can download your images and redistribute them in torrents illegally. This is seriously bad news. We live in a world of instant gratification, and people are a lot less likely to use stock when they have to wait for it.

I'm to the point where I feel sorry for those people, but I have no other choice but to protect my images. They are of people I care about, and do not wish to see misrepresented in any way, nor sold without permission. Therefore...

I am adopting the password system. Each image that was in my gallery will make a return via zip file and password. Instructions for obtaining images will appear on each pack. This is the best I can do to still provide the stock myself and my friends LOVE to do for you, without having to worry about being ripped off quite as much. (Photobucket users...for shame)

Please be patient as I re-upload over a thousand images. It will take time, but we all benefit in the end. (You get images to use for your work you don't have to pay HUGE sums of money for, and we can continue providing them for you.)


BOOB ENERGY!!!




I'm not even joking. This is about bra technology that uses breast motion to generate enough electricity to power an ipod. Big busted girls create more friction, and so are more successful. I KNEW these f***ers were good for SOMETHING. :#1:

Love the idea of the unloved stock...my only issue with doing it with my stock account is that only 2 of my images have been used by people other than me...at least that have let me know they used them...

And I LOVE the password protected zip files idea...might use it myself on the stock of my son and of anything relating to the haunted house...since those are the ones I want the most protected...

:library: I have mentioned that interspursed with all of my art, and crafty hobbies, I do LOVE a good book, haven't I?
:iconlindowyn-stock:
I say go for it. Any images you'd like to see used more than just by yourself is acceptable. :D

I am so sad that passwords are now a necessary evil. :no: It seems to be a functioning system so far though. Here's hoping. :nod: I always think twice about images I really care about when it comes to stock: not because I don't want to offer up my favorites of a set, but because I don't want to see them abused more often than they are appreciated. As long as people understand, I'm cool. And if they don't...well...too bad. :lol:
:iconlindowyn-stock:
Anyone that knows me can tell you: I hate. my boobs. Hate.

Preachin' to the choir, ma'am. :D Just glad i'm not the only one.

CEA Policy on Pornography, Erotica, and Legitimate Stock Resources

This important article tells us about what deviantArt considers pornography and LEGITIMATE stock resources. It instructs stock users on how to properly credit your resources on deviantArt, and how to not get your work removed for improper credits. Saying "sxc.hu" is not a credit. You must link to the actual image.

CEA Policy on Legitimate Stock Resources, Proper Crediting, and Redistribution.

This article focuses on what is a legitimate resource for stock and what is not. It also discusses how you cannot redistribute stock photos that are not your own. Even if purchased or used from sxc.hu, you CAN NOT upload them here as stock, manipulated or not.
