DA RULES

If you want to use 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).  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 as well as commented on by us.

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.

Our stock is for deviantART use ONLY. You may not use our stock anywhere outside of deviantART (except for ModelMayhem, see not below). There will be some exceptions (especially in the case of non-model stock), but the images will say in their description of that's the case. We're very lenient about this as far as including work in portfolios and whatnot, but please ask through a note first.

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 commercial exception we'll make (aside from what is stated above) is for dA prints, and dA prints ONLY; HOWEVER, if your deviation contains one of our MODEL stocks, you must ask permission through a note first. We have the right to either approve or disapprove of your request, depending on the model's preferences.

***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!
