STOCK RULES | ART THEFT!! | FAQ & CLUBS



-------------------------------------

Hi guys! Long time no see. We'd like to apologize for our very long hiatus, and thus the non-response to your notes and comments (sorry!). We're hoping to do some more stock sets in the next few weeks, hopefully, so keep an eye out for that
The rules have been updated with regards to the use of our stock outside of DA.

WE ARE:


DA RULES

If you want to use our stock:

There's no need to ask if it's okay to use our stock. Of course it's okay! However you must follow these rules when using our stock:

Use our stock creatively, for your OWN work. We allow use of our images for photomanipulations, art reference, deviantART tutorials (photo editing, photomanipulation, etc) and photo retouching examples (showing the 'before' image beside your edit). Please do not put our stock photo through a photoshop filter and call it your own. Deviations using our stock are not to be submitted under the photography category.

Provide a link in your deviation's description that links back to the original image and/or this account's front page (use :devstickfishies-stock: or :iconstickfishies-stock: - copy & paste, including the colons).

Comment on the stock deviation(s) you used with a link to your deviation in which you have used our stock. We would love to see where our stock was used! We keep a collection of deviations using our stock in our favourites, and everyone's work is added to it.

Please do not use any of our stock for any type of offensive or vulgar images including but not limiting to discrimination, degrading, or sexually suggestive themes--our models are all minors, so please respect them.

UPDATED! Please feel free to use our stock for your work on DeviantART as well as outside of DeviantART (e.g. school projects, online galleries, flickr, etc., as long as it's NON COMMERCIAL)

Please do not use our stock for any commercial purposes aside from selling your original piece of art based off of our stock should you wish to. The only exception to this rule is that you may sell DeviantART prints of work made using/referencing our stock.

***PLEASE NOTE: If you require a more immediate response about permissions, please message *anglerfishies; we don't check this account as often anymore so we may not get your request for up to a month.

ATTENTION MODELMAYHEMERS!

As we both now have modelmayhem accounts, we will consider allowing photomanipulations, artwork (traditional and digital), and photo retouching examples to be used in the respective artists' Model Mayhem portfolios.  Note us asking permission to upload your images based off of/containing our stock before submitting them there, and you'll likely get our permission).

Specifically for our model stock, if you get our permission to put work using it on MM, add the following credits as they apply (copy and past into the 'Credits' section of the image):

*anglerfishies as the photographer: 879559
~stickbugs as the model: 887531
*anglerfishies as the model: 1011187
~truesmiles as the model: 1012205

Abide to these rules if you wish to use our stock.

Have a nice day!
