| STOCK RULES 1. Inform me when you have used my stock. Provide me with a link to your art either via comment or note. 2. Credit me in your artist's comments box on the deviation. Provide a link back to my account. (Example: Model *Tasastock) 3. You must have my permission before you use my stock in any way outside of DeviantArt. (See Outside Use below.) 4. My stock must be sufficiently editted, I reserve the right to ask you to remove any image that does not fulfill the requirements stated below (See Usage) 5. Do not submit your art into the Photography gallery. 6. My stock is for art purposes only. It is not to be redistributed as a raw stock image, nor any of my rules or copyright infringed in any way. Do not resubmit any editted form of my stock as a resource. (For what is and is not allowed, see Tutorials/PS Actions/Resources/Line Art below) 7. Retouches of my stock are not allowed. (See Retouches below) 8. Line Art offered for others to colour, PhotoShop Actions where my stock is the preview image, and Tutorials using my stock are to follow the instructions listed in Tutorials/PS Actions/Resources/Line Art below. 9. Commercial use of my stock is subject to terms and conditions, see the note Commercial Use for more details. USAGE You can use my stock for any form of art you can think of. Traditional and digital painting, drawing, sculpture, photomanipulation, collage anything you can think of. I love to see what you do. What you cannot use my stock for, is for retouches (see Retouches below for clarification) if you want to do anything racist, pornographic, or sexist find someone else's stock. Your art must be that, art. It must be sufficiently editted otherwise I will ask you to remove it as a breach of Rule 4. Example: Just adding a filter (blur, smudge, ripple, colour effect, high contrast, black and white.) Cropping the image, adding text, change hair colour/eye colour, just adding pointy ears/fangs/a tail. Make it your own, otherwise it is still mine. RETOUCHES Retouches of my stock are NOT allowed. What I mean by a retouch is when you are practising airbrushing/digital makeup/photoshop imaging effects, anything where you are just taking the image to practice making it better, but not doing anything else do it other than editting out any "flaws". Eg. In a portrait image, a retouch would be, doing nothing to the background, removing any imperfections on my skin, lightening the image, editting out stray hairs, changing the eye colour. Basically, airbrushing. I understand its value for magazines, but you can't use my stock for it. Example: [link] (kindly allowed by the artist to be shown here in my rules.) If you airbrush me as part of a photomanipulation piece (aka, a collection of stock images collaged together to make one whole image) I'm not going to say I will like the fact that you've done it, but you are allowed. In the past I did allow retouches, but my rules changed on 20/11/10. Any retouch submitted after this date is breaking my stock rules. If you are interested in my full reasons see this journal entry here: [link] OUTSIDE USE Outside use requests are to be sent to me in a NOTE and not a comment. You must include a link to the deviation you wish to use, or if the art hasnt been created yet, a link to which of my images you would like to use. If you haven't used it yet, tell me how you are going to be using it, e.g. as part of the graphics of a website, on your artblog in a traditional painting, on your portfolio website in a digital painting or photomanipulation. A link to the website is also needed, (if a site like redbubble, facebook, or anything with a profile. You must link me either to your profile if possible, or tell me your username so I know which user I am giving permission to.) If you haven't uploaded the art you wish to use to DeviantArt, but you wish to show me a preview for any reason DO NOT upload it to Photobucket/Imageshack or any other image hosting website. Upload it into your deviantart Scraps. (That way it is not in your gallery, and it's not on an imageshare website for any amount of time.) If you wish to feature my stock on another website, you need to ask me first (yes, if it was intended as a nice surprise it does ruin it.) and tell me which stock you are intending to display and where (give me links.) There is certain stock which is NOT allowed outside of DeviantArt. For a quick idea, any image where I am nude is not allowed. Neither are any images where I am not the model. (I am the main model on this account. Any model who is not me is creditted in my artist's comments on that image itself.) I appreciate that some of you are working to deadlines, but you also need to appreciate that I get 400+ messages a day, and I work fulltime. I cannot get around to answering messages immediately. If you are working to a deadline and it is urgent, include the words "URGENT - DEADLINE" in the title to your note. I try to get these notes answered asap. Do not abuse this system and use it simply because you are impatient. Where you have used my stock outside of DeviantArt, credit me for stock wherever possible (I understand on some sites, it is not possible to do so.) You must wait for my reply before you put my stock outside of DeviantArt. Do not put it up previous to acquiring my permission, this is a breach of my rules and you will be asked to remove the image. COMMERCIAL USE Each case is different, so the general rule is, note me and ask. I reserve the right to ask for a donation of funds. You will need my prior permission, and I can only speak for model stock where it is me modelling. Credit where possible, and make sure you send me your request in a note, not a comment. PRINTS Making your art available as a print on DeviantArt is fine, unless you have done very little to the image (in which case, I will be asking you to remove it as it is insufficiently editted). Prints on sites such as Redbubble are allowed, you need to follow my rules on Outside Use and get permission prior to upload. TUTORIALS/PS ACTIONS/RESOURCES/LINE ART My stock is not allowed to be editted and redistributed as a resource. (This includes premade backgrounds.) Tutorials, and PhotoShop Actions where my stock is the preview image must have my prior permission (ask via a note.) and you must clearly state that my stock is being used only as an example and it comes with my own set of rules. Credit me for stock. You can use my stock to draw line art. However, if you allow other people to colour your lineart, you must state that they have to follow my rules also. (My stock was used in your art, your art of my stock was used in their art. So it's still my stock being used, as well as your own.) I must be creditted for the original reference, notified, and the rest of my rules adherred to. THEFT/INFRINGEMENT I do not tolerate any kind of theft. Under no circumstances are you allowed to redistribute my raw stock image as a resource on ANY website, pass off my work as your own photography/art or upload to any image-sharing website. Any artwork or image found to break any of my rules stated here I will get removed, if you refuse to delete any offending image yourself, I will take further action. EXCLUSIVE STOCK Can be used only by those who have donated to my costume fund, or have won it in a contest. Anyone in possession of this stock still needs to adhere to my stock rules. If you wish for no-restrictions stock, keep an eye out for my commercial-stock. My exclusive stock can be found in my Exclusive folder in my main gallery. [link] DONATIONS Are always welcome. I haven't won the lottery, so all my costumes come out of what spare money I have. Donate to my stocky-cause and I can continue to provide a free resource for everyone. You also get access to exclusive stock that only donators and contest-winners can get their hands on. More information, see this [link] REQUESTS Have happened in the past, but I don't like taking them. So most of the time I don't. Check out my Request Status at the bottom of this page to see whether or not I am open for requests. Please note, it is a request, not a demand. I don't HAVE to do whatever you want. Anything pornographic or fetish related will not be taken on. GENERAL/COMMENTS/RESPECT/CRITICISM Please note that there is a human being behind these images. She is prone to bouts of insanity and hyperness on occasion, and can be known to get on her high-horse to defend her principles.. Remember that. This is a hobby I can love and hate at the same time. I am providing a free resource for you to use, following these simple rules is the way you pay me. They're not hard, notify, credit, ask for commercial/outside use, actually do something with it (this is referring to the "sufficiently editted" rule. if art is measured by time... I have taken the time to put on make-up, get dressed, set up my sheets for a background, set up my camera, and then spend an hour maybe just taking photos. Not to mention the hours I put in creating preview images, zip packs and uploading all these. Compared to any time you have taken to see my stock, hit download, open it in PhotoShop, apply a filter. Save, Upload... well, it's still my art isn't it??) oh, and don't piss me off.  generally being a troll and insulting someone is only going to get you so far in this community.I do not respond well to perverts, or people who just judge me for my looks. Yes, there are nude images of me on here. Why? Because as an artist myself I am fully aware of just how valuable a resource a nude model is to someone who is learning to draw. This does not make me an attention-seeking whore. Comments like those will get you reported. Likewise, comments where you aren't looking at the value of a stock image and you're just commenting on my tits or my arse, will also be getting reported. DeviantArt is not your porn-site. There are plenty of actual porn sites around, go to those. Likewise, catty comments receive catty replies. If you get smart with me I have no qualms about getting smart back. Criticism is welcome only so long as it is CONSTRUCTIVE. I can't stress that enough. If you leave a comment that says "oh, thats so dark." or. "oh it's so grainy" or even "oh it's so shit" yes, I am very likely to get offended and leave you an equally smarting reply. If you don't think something is good enough and think you have a way that I can improve, I am happy to hear of it, only, don't suggest I throw money at a problem. Comments like "you really need to get yourself some proper lighting" will only gain the reply of "oh so are you going to donate me some money so that I can buy this proper lighting?". Again, I stress FREE RESOURCE. The vast majority of my funding is off my own back. The criticism I accept is: "<blah> is good, however <blah> isn't as strong, have you maybe tried <blah> or <blah> to improve it?" And, this is a serious note. DO NOT tell me about your fetishes. What you do in your own time is your own business. I don't want it in my life. Fetish comments of any kind will get reported. MODEL/MAKE UP/EMAIL/MSN/FACEBOOK Unless stated otherwise, the model is me. As for make up, again everything is done by myself unless stated otherwise. Any wounds shown are fake unless the description is something like "right.. well.. this is how this happened." I will not reply to your question via email. I have enough work to do to answer comments on here without making extra work for myself. I have added deviants to facebook and msn before. Doesn't mean I will do it with everybody. If you really, reeeeally want me on either you can ask. But if we don't chat, or if it's you constantly chatting to me and getting one-word answers... well.. I think that answers the question really. REQUEST STATUS: Closed. Still confused? Haven't answered your question? SEE MY FAQ: [link] Donate to keep my stock varied! [link] |
