STOCK RULES | ART THEFT!! | FAQ & CLUBS

:icondeviantartcommunity: :iconstockresources: :iconstockarchive: :iconcreatebyweek: :iconone-stop-stock:

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

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:
:iconstickbugs::iconanglerfishies:

DA RULES

If you want to use our stock:

:bulletblue: 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:

:bulletred: 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.

:bulletblue: 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).

:bulletred: 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.

:bulletblue: 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.

:bulletred: 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)

:bulletblue: 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!

:bulletblue: 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).

:bulletred: 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! :)

DA RULES

If you want to use our stock:

:bulletred: Use our stock creatively, for your OWN work. Simply changing the eye colour, airbrushing the skin or changing the dress colour, etc, is not allowed because it does not count as your own art.  We allow use of our images for photomanipulations, art reference and deviantART tutorials (photo editing, photomanipulation, etc).  Deviations using our stock are not to be submitted under the photography category.

:bulletblue: 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).

:bulletred: 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.

:bulletblue: 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.

:bulletred: Our stock is for deviantART use ONLY. You may not use our stock anywhere outside of deviantART. There will be some exceptions, 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.

:bulletblue: 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.

:bulletred: 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.

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

Have a nice day! :)

FAQ

Do you take stock/pose requests?
Sure, as long as it's within reason, just send us a note. If we have the time, we'll do it for you :)

May I put a piece of art I made including one (or more) of your stock images (either directly or as drawing reference) in a portfolio (or art show, website, etc) outside of deviantART?
Please ask us first, preferably through a note.  We are very lenient about this and, but it will also depend on the model's and/or photographer's preference.  Honestly, we would love to have unrestricted, or next to unrestricted, stock, but we're all under legal age and want to be able to provide our images with as few negative results as possible, such as misuse, art theft, etc.

Will you take nude stocks?
NO. Our models (and us) are underage, and we really don't think that they, their parents, dA, or the legal system would be happy with that.

I'm doing a school project on -insert animal here-.  May I use one or more of your stock images of said animal in my presentation?
Send us a note asking first.  We'll probably say yes :)

Who are your models?
Our models usually consist of one of us (usually stickbugs), or one of our friends.

So then why are there only like, two pictures of anglerfishies in your gallery?
Because she likes being behind the camera more (even though she's a gorgeous gal ;D)

Will you look at my gallery?
Uh, if you ask, no. If you ask someone to look at your gallery, you're just being desperate. You have more of a chance of getting someone (including us) to look at your gallery if you just leave them a non-desperate comment, or watch or fave something of theirs.

What kind of camera(s)/equipment do you use?
Generally, anglerfishies' Canon EOS 400D/Rebel XTi:
:bulletred: Canon 18-55mm kit lens it came with generally for model stock
:bulletred: Sigma 30mm F/1.4 lens for some model stock
:bulletred: Canon 75-300mm USM lens for more telephoto nature stock

But when she's not around, stickbugs uses a Canon PowerShot S2 IS.  For older stock photos, anglerfishies used a Canon PowerShot A610 and stickbugs used a Canon PowerShot A410.  Yes, we're Canon whores. :D
