General stock rules

:bulletred:Everything in my folder that's in the "stock" category is stock. Everything else is not and cannot be used in any way.
:bulletred:This is unrestricted stock.
Unrestricted stock can be used for both personal and commercial projects, but it cannot be redistributed as stock. You are not required to obtain permission prior to using the stock off site or in DA prints. The only requirements are that the stock provider be notified and credited.
EXCEPTION: The following two stocks must not be used in equine art (that is, anything with horses that are not accompanied by a human rider):
Rose petals cutouts by la-chatte-noire Rose stock by la-chatte-noire
"Rose stock" and "Rose petals cutouts" are no longer to be used in any manips with horses, donkeys, mules, centaurs as a main subject, regardless of the purpose. All offending deviations dated after this journal update will be reported.

:bulletred:Credit me with a link to my account. See FAQ #81: How can I create links to other deviants, deviations, or websites? if you don't know how to do this.
:bulletred:You can sell artwork made with my stock, but I want to see where my stock goes! It's only fair since I'm giving it for free.
:bulletred:Do not claim my stock as your own.
:bulletred:I DO NOT take requests!
:bulletred:Most of all, be creative and enjoy!

I appreciate getting a big unwatermarked version of the work using my stock.
I reserve the right to change my TOU at any time without prior notice.

Be inspired!

Frequently Asked Questions (since there seems to be confusion)

Q: Can I make prints with your stock?
A:
Yes, you can make prints of your artwork, but not the stock photo as it is.

Q: Can I sell artwork with your stock?
A:
Yes.

Q: Can I use your stock in premades?
A:
Yes. You will have to follow the same rules as for a photomanipulation - credit, link, no illegal/offensive content. A premade is an image that uses more stocks; you can not upload the same stock that I have as it is, with adjusted levels or a texture overlay. It has to be clear your premade is a different image.

Q: Can I show artwork with your stock on facebook/flicker/horse sites?
A:
Yes. Include a link to dA if you have it there too or write the credits on or near the image if you don't have it on dA.

Q: How do I credit you as the stock provider?
A:
See FAQ #81: How can I create links to other deviants, deviations, or websites?

Q: Do you take requests?
A:
No. You can look in my scraps for various sets I can upload if you need them. As for model stock, the stuff you see is the kind of stuff you'll be seeing because this is what I like to do. If you have ideas that fit my theme, you're welcome to share them with me. Otherwise, don't bother. Especially if you have weird fetishes, keep them to yourself. I'll never do stock with...
...nudity or underwear
...bare feet and legs (that show)
...blood, open wounds
...guns
...and oh dear god cannibalism D:

Q: Why don't you take requests?
A:
Because I used to have this option, and people abused it. I don't have time and energy for unreasonable requests, I prefer to be the only one in charge of what I do. Besides, if the stock you need is so sophisticated that you need to request it, chances are you need to ask a professional photographer and/or model, which I'm not.

Q: I have another question.
A:
Write me a note and we'll see about that.

Peace :peace:

May I ask why the stock isn't allowed to be used with equine?
