How to Properly Credit Stock Providers
For the Love of Stock!
The Dedication of Stock Providers:
Stock Providers on DeviantART work to provide free or low cost stock for the community. They put in their own time at their own expense to provide quality stock for use by any Deviant (and often allow offsite use as well). Because of their generosity, time and expense, the very least anyone can do when using the stock is to Read the Rules and to Properly Credit the Stock Provider!
Credit is important. First of all, it shows respect for the stock artist; Secondly, when a Stock Provider is properly credited in the Artist Description at the same time the Deviation is submitted, then th

Let's talk about Pixabay. My experience
For anyone who hasn't found about Pixabay it's a free stock photography database that's been garnering attention lately. I wasn't aware of its existence as for my art I either create it all from scratch myself or use paid stock from Fotolia or Shutterstock to avoid restrictions. I was introduced to Pixabay by a friend who praised it for the quality, variety and ease of access, actually called it 'best stock website' since the late sxc.hu. I loved and used sxc stocks frequently in my art in the early days, so Pixabay seemed like a blessing when I heard of it.
So I looked around, was impressed with the quality of some of their stocks and signe

Check out this new group; ~Mom-EsCloset (https://www.deviantart.com/mom-escloset) aimed at dressing your stock models and loading them up with supplies from A to Z.
The idea is a "one stop shopping place", in hopes to help save you time, from the very consuming 'search' aspect of prepping for a new manipulation.
Have a look at the link below. Browse the group; join, get active and help spread the word. Be sure as well to read the rules pertaining to submissions. All stock must be legitimate .
I hope you'll join and love it. :) I am quite excited myself to see the stock folders grow. ^^
Well....What are you waiting for? Get on over there! And have fun. ^^
:new: This is my second DA profile, I decided that it's time to have a separate stock account, so a little at a time I will be moving my stock over here. If you saved my stock at the other profile, forgive me for making things difficult.
It took a long time for me to decide to share my stock on DA, and I am so glad I did! What a great and creative group of people are here! :#1:
I will add a great many images here, most of them have few restrictions, and those I think are very fair. A few of them have some extra restrictions, these in general are those of models who are children, or who have specifically requested certain restrictions. P
Updated Stock Rules by IQuitCountingStock, journal
Updated Stock Rules
one * indicates first phase rules two ** indicates added or altered ones *** are phase three rules! No big changes for anyone who has already used my stock!
*My stock images are to be used for non-profit use only. If you would like to use an image for a piece you plan to sell or offer as a print you MUST contact me for approval; if I like your work I may possibly allow it, but I promise nothing. The more work you put in (in other words not just adding a few filters in PS) the more likely I'll grant permission.
*Give credit where credit is due and please post a link in a comment under an image you've used. I like to see what other people u
Starting today, status updates posted by deviants you watch now appear in your notifications. This has been a popular request from deviants who actively post status updates. With status updates in notifications, it will ensure that more of your watchers see your posts.
Like other notifications, status updates can be viewed in list view (text only) or grid view (full thumbnails). Status update notifications can also be stacked, which groups notifications by deviant together.
Make Your Status Update Stand OutAdding a deviation to your status updates is a quick way of making it stand out to your watchers. Simply add a deviation by pasting a li

Photomanipulation vs. Digital Mixed Media
What is this series?
The "Fix that Miscat" series has been designed to help educate deviantART members about the different galleries to which they can submit their art. Tired of submitting to a particular gallery and having your art moved to a different one? We will help minimize this occurrence by examining pairs of categories that frequently get confused and doing our best to clarify them for you.
What is a Photomanipulation?
What it is:
On deviantART, we define photomanipulation as "two or more PHOTOGRAPHIC elements that have been combined to form something NEW."
This means that:
:bulletpink: At least 2 elements must be from photogra
