Yea... and if you don't read the rules, you won't get anything out of this.
Advertise; you don't have to but is looked up upon
and it really does help to inspire me with new ideas

to be on your marvilous feature
Thank you so much for your support
not only are you restricted to dA only , but in some cases (not all)
you're not allowed to make prints without their permission. which makes
me feel like asking " then why allow us to use them in the first place ? "
type of questions ...
anyhow , lovely features in this journal
Thanks, there's a lot of good art out there!
yet , I see a lot of really talented manippers using
stuff from there... am I doing something wrong ?
as far as my own personal works go , I don't think they're
really good enough to sell ..
if I were as good as you & Karla I'd think about it
I really do idolize you and Karla , you're both excellent
artists and I strive to be as good as you one day
and you're welcome , indeed there is a lot of magnificent art
out there , both on and off dA
but did try the enlarge picture by clicking the
image I had wanted , and it like you said , asked
me to log in. so ; I created an account there and
was able to download the fullsize without a problem
If this post is redundant (as I have not had time to read all 107 comment)... let me apologize in advance if I repeat past comments!
I have found that in most cases (all but one ... so far) when I have asked for permission to put a piece on my personal site or to show/sell a piece, I have received permission without any hassle. I always offer to credit the stock provider and ask how they would like to be credited ... some don't want their real names used other want full disclosure.
That process its great in theory and usually works ... but for the accounts that are unattended, you know, those accounts that you note (as requested) for usage permission and then do not get an answer for weeks!
It would be nice if the stock providers could give a heads up if they are not going to be available and in the case of an extended absence, loosen their stock rules or remove the stock!
I do try to use only stock from accounts that are active (i.e. ones that have recent submissions or current journal entries). I will occasionally email someone before using an image (if I can wait) if it seems they are not keeping up with their account. But it is very frustrating to find the perfect image and then not be able to continue with your image because you are waiting for permission!
And then there have been the times I've used an image only to find the account closed and no way to contact the stock provider
As all this takes time ... and it can be a pain; like you, I try to use my own photo's as much as possible and I am trying to learn more about drawing and airbrushing!
It takes me longer to create images than you (I am always amazed by the quality of work you produce so consistently) but even with the little I do create there are many times I wish I had "carte blanche" with the stock and did not have to worry!
In the end though; what keeps me going and eases my frustration is... it's "free" and the quality (on average) is quite good and in some cases ...amazing! If all I have to "pay" is a little bit of my time (to ask permission) and an occasional donation (when I can)... that is a price I can happily afford!
Again ... great Journal!
I agree with a lot that has been said in these comments, often I won't use the stock of an artist that seems to have strict rules. To me, it seems a waste to offer something as stock and then put a ton of restictions on it.
I just find it odd how dA is so out of line with other free stock providers. I can see that people would be interested in seeing what has been made and being credited but what's with having to ok every website a picture is posted on! Also, since most stock is provided by stock users anyway wouldn't it be better if we all mode the stock unrestricted!
