**Stock providers - if you wish to borrow my terms of use for your own stock galleries you may, but please do let me know!**


BY USING MY STOCK YOU AGREE TO...


:bulletgreen::pointr: YOU MUST BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF DA TO USE MY STOCK
IE if you have no deviations in your gallery and have made no comments etc you are a blank account generally only made to get access to DA stock to use off site - we're not stupid.

:bulletgreen::pointr: OUTSIDE REPOSTING OF YOUR ARTWORK  - to your own blog/personal website/other art forum/gallery is acceptable as long as full credit is given (where reasonably possible) and a link to the location sent to me in a note.

:bulletgreen::pointr:TRADITIONAL ART REFS - YES! I DO give permission to all traditional media AND digital media artists to use my stock for pose/costume/fabric references etc in their traditional/digital artwork HOWEVER I still insist that I am credited WHERE POSSIBLE and especially online for the resources used and informed in the way described above.

** THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE, PERMISSION WILL NOT BE GRANTED FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE.
If you are unsure please contact me by note on DA or by email - xelandriax at gmail dot com to check.  Please don't just assume it will be ok!

:bulletred::pointr:PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT CONSIDER CHANGING THE HUE/SATURATION OR MINOR ALTERATIONS SUCH AS DODGING/BURNING/BLENDING & TEXTURE OVERLAY OR TOUCH UPS/POST PRODUCTION WORK OR HDR SIMULATIONS ETC AS PHOTO MANIPULATION.  IF I DO NOT CONSIDER IT ENOUGH OF A CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL I WILL ASK YOU TO REMOVE IT.

:bulletred::pointr:PLEASE DO NOT RESUBMIT MY STOCK TO THE PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY WITH MINOR EDITS AS DETAILED ABOVE.

:bulletred: :pointr: Do NOT use my stock if you intend to release the resulting work as more stock (eg premade backgrounds**) this includes my model AND location stock. **unless you have been given explicit permission to do so.

COMMERCIAL WORKS/RELEASES


:bulletred::pointr: Please do not use my stock photography for commercial/paid work without contacting me to discuss the project BEFORE you use any of my stock!   All commercial work requires either a commercial release which must be organised BEFOREHAND.  Please contact me directly either by email -  xelandriax at gmail .com or by note on DA.

DEVIANTART PRINTS...


:bulletgreen::pointr: I HEREBY GRANT ALL DEVAINTARTISTS PERMISSION TO USE MY STOCK IN ANY AND ALL DEVIANTART PRINTS WITHOUT RESTRICTION.
For all other printing/commercial use please contact me first!

:bulletgreen::pointr: You no longer need to request permission from me to use my stock in a DA prints, you must however remember to ask for prints permission for other sites/personal printing, and you must also credit as per the regular rules.

:bulletred::pointr: THE BLANKET EMAIL is for DAPRINTS USE ONLY - if you wish to use my stock in prints on other webstores please contact me for permission first!

AND FINALLY...


:bulletred::pointr: My stock does not belong in the public domain, the licence I extend for use is for DA members only.

:bulletred::pointr: Just because not all my stock has a visible copyright watermark does NOT mean that they are not SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS!  I GIVE DEVIANTART USERS ONLY permission to download, use, MANIPULATE my stock art but NOT my artwork.  THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE UNMANIPULATED STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY INTO YOUR OWN WEBSITE!  THIS IS COPYRIGHT VIOLATION!

:bulletred::pointr: It remains MY option to remove or change or amend any or all of my stock and rules at ANY time.

FAQ #193: How do I prove that I had permission to use someone's work?

OTHER DEVIANTART POLICIES TO NOTE


:bulletred::pointr: PHOTOMANIPULATION GALLERY DESCRIPTION -

The Photomanipulation section is dedicated to digital photographs that have undergone post processing and/or editing via the use of a graphical imaging software. The extent of manipulation should be prominent and noticeable in ways where it can be clearly distinguishable from the unaltered photograph.

When submitting to Photomanipulation, keep in mind deviantART's policies regarding source image reuse. You must have explicit permission to use images that are not your own or are not stock images, no matter how much time you spend manipulating them. It is recommended that you also state if you've used your own pictures to avoid misconceptions.

Please Note: All images submitted to this section should be altered in such way that it is clear you have used techniques other than a filter and/or alteration in the colour of the original. Rather than into the photomanipulation gallery, these pictures should be submitted to Photography or Digital Art>Miscellaneous. Also note that drawing or writing on top of a picture does not constitute as a photomanipulation. These deviations should go into Photography, Digital Art> Paintings & Airbrushing or the Cartoons & Comics sections for example. Which category is best suited to your deviation depends on what technique dominates in your deviation. If you have used a mixture of techniques, Digital Art>Miscellaneous. Vectorized versions of your pictures belong into Digital Art>Vectors or Vexels respectively. For more information on the nature of the other categories, please read their descriptions!


:bulletred::pointr:  Deviantart, its owners etc DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO MY STOCK OR ARTWORK. As stated in the submission policy here:  [link] <-- If you have agreed to this policy but have not read it or do not understand it then you NEED to go back and MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT!

Hi, my name is Mike and I have created a picture using one of your stock pictures [link] , hope you don't mind. I have also created a tutorial for this picture in a PDF format, I would like to share it on DA, but as a relative new member, I haven't learned how to...Yet! I'll be only too pleased to send you a copy, if you're interested. Thank you

Regards
Mike

Hey, thanks for the link, you need to add the credits to the deviation description for all the stock you used in your art, check this FAQ for details on how to do that - FAQ #81: How can I make links to other deviants, deviations, or websites? This is a requirement of DA so you need to do this for each image you submit if you use stock or resources :)

Let me know if you need any more help!

Thank you for allowing me the use of your pictures, but I didn't want to offend anyone and I created my picture first before asking, so I have removed it. Reason I asked is I saw your warning at the top, I didn't download it from DA I found 3 of your pictures on Google, but out of decentcy I asked. Please follow [link] to see my new picture, it took me all day, but I created a room of my own from a castle photo I took a few years ago. Thank you anyway, and if I do another theme, and want to use your stock, i've added you to my favourites, next time i'll contact you first.

Regards

No need to remove it, and you don't have to ask first before you use my stock on DA, you just need to add credit to the description for the stock you used. Follow the directions given to you in the FAQ I linked you to before.
