sticks and stones

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 24, 2010, 6:34 AM
I think I need to just stop taking portrait stock and delete most of the ones already in my gallery, thus I can quit complaining about it, and quit sending out notes all the time when people turn one of my photos black and white and re-submit it as their "art". Does anybody else have this problem with their portrait stock (portrait as in, close-up face pictures not full-body)?


:skullbones: :skullbones: :skullbones: STOCK USE RULES :skullbones: :skullbones: :skullbones:
(i know it looks like a lot, but c'mon, they're common sense i do something for you, you do something for me, that's how this works :) )

:bulletpink: 1. YOU MUST MUST MUST LINK AND CREDIT ME (link meaning send me an actual link and put an actual link back to me on the deviation, DO NOT JUST TYPE IN MY NAME-THE LINK IS CRUCIAL) and let me know you've used one of my images. I really will hunt you down if you don't :katana: If you are unsure of how to properly link to deviants, please refer to the FAQ [link] it will tell you everything you ever needed to know.

:bulletpink: 2. Please do NOT use my stock in any inappropriate works, NOTHING sexual, hateful, or racist. However, horror and macabre stuff is just fine, i love it.

:bulletpink: 3. Retouching and using my photos as a reference is fine, but just changing a photo to black&white, upping the contrast, overlaying a photoshop filter, etc. is NOT a manipulation and i have the right to ask you to remove any works that I feel do not constitute a true photomanipulation. :D

:bulletpink: 4. PLEASE ASK ME VIA A NOTE BEFORE ANY OFF-SITE USE OF MY STOCK. IF IT IS GOING ON A WEBSITE, PLEASE SEND ME A LINK TO THAT SITE

:bulletpink: 5. Don't send me any inappropriate requests (i.e. nudity, etc...not happening).

:bulletpink: 6. Please keep stupid, inappropriate comments such as OMG UR SO HOTT to yourself. Also, people with foot fetishes-you can take your fetishes elsewhere, YOUR COMMENTS ARE NOT WELCOME ON MY PAGE.

:bulletpink: 7. Deviantart prints of your work that used my stock are fine and you don't need to ask permission. :D

:bulletpink: 9. YOU MAY NOT SUBMIT YOUR WORK USING MY PICTURES INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHY CATEGORY. IT IS MY PHOTOGRAPHY, NOT YOURS.

Perhaps you could just make your portrait photos available in zip format, by request, and only share those with people you know who have used your work properly. I think I saw somewhere that someone wanted to do that, something about having a code to unlock it. I'm not sure if that is accurate or not, as I don't much about zip files.

If you quit, the circumventers would have won. They
don't want you to create stock photos; they want you to stop creating stock photos.

Keep creating.

haha no, i don't think that's how it works in this scenario. if i stopped they wouldn't have other people's photos to steal.

I would be highly sad if you got rid of any particular part of your stock. I understand your frustration with it but you are helping people like myself practice and build up to creating some awesome manipulations. At least one out of those 10 should count for something right? Think about the images you're pleased with and why you do this in the first place. I feel truly appreciative of your stock and that I even found that their were awesome people like yourself on DA to donate such stunning images.

i think i would cry if you did that and then i'd have to go on a killing spree. You have such wonderful stock and i agree that a lot of it is art on it's own. Sometimes i'll like one of your shots soooo much that i take it to use and then never do anything with it because i feel like i'd ruin what's already there!

I agree with Dragon-Kiss... your portrait stock is art on it's own.
