This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
- If you use any of the stock images, please note us with the link so we can see it. Don't say "it's in my gallery" or "it's my newest piece", give a link to the piece itself.
- You don't need to ask for our permission to use the photos, just send us a link to the final result.
- Link to us in the image's description (linking to the original image is optional, we just ask that you link to this account).
- dA use only.
- If you're unsure if you can use our pictures for what you want (for example, for prints or outside of DA) send us a note and we can always discuss it.
- Nothing pornographic, sexist, racist nor discriminatory may be made with our stock photos.
- Don't submit it under Photography, since you weren't the one who took the photo.
- Don't just add a filter and change some colours, please do try a little harder. It's a lot more fun for both parts. We have put some work in taking many of our picures, and we'd appreciate if you put in a little time and work too.
- Please don't use our stock photos on artwork you're going to sell without our permission, this includes prints sold through DA. Feel free to send us a note if you've created a deviation (that includes our stock) that you would like to sell prints of.
- Suggestions for poses, costumes, concepts, etc. and extremely welcome and encouraged.
- All pictures made with the use with one of our stockpictures will be added to our favourites.
If you have any questions, just send us a note.
Otherwise, enjoy and good luck!
Thanks for the fav on Nine Sisters. It was a pleasure to use such great stock!

I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it. ~Author Unknown
...hey, my gallery's empty cause i made a new DeviantART - and since i was carrying some old favorites over to the new one, i decided i might as well just delete them all.
the new one has no deviations on it either (i'm building up a collection of "adequate" pictures before submitting any, and then i'll release them all at once), but it will very, very soon. i hope.
i don't think you'd care too much by the time my new one is up and running, but i'd love to alert you when it's done so you can check it out! any feedback i can manage to recieve is a joy to read, and i love making new friends on DeviantART!
...why do you have to clog the stock gallery with picture after picture after picture of the same exact thing? i mean, is each picture really so different, that you must post them all? there's so many of the same exact angle, clothing, model, etc. but your head is just turned slightly different, it's cropped a little closer, etc. this doesn't make a whole new piece neccessary! and your expression never changes. it's creepy and annoying.
jesus ...some people just make DeviantART suck. the excessive stock contributers (that aren't very good photographers in the first place, but are rather just fishing for exposure and attention) are among them.
Jeez... If you don't like it, then don't come here. And besides, what's the point of being mean? Constructive critisicm is okey, but you don't have to be all bitchy? Please, grow up. It's people like you that don't let people do what they like to do without being told off about it, that make DeviantArt suck.
...i can only give so much constructive criticism before i reach my breaking point. so sorry if i've been a bit rude about it all (cause i was), but can you please then explain why all those pictures are neccessary submissions, instead of ...say, the best two or three?
Well, we figured that an artist would like to have as many pictures as possible to chose from as possible, so that's why we uploaded so many. And maybe the facial expression is the same on some of them, but the same thing goes for many stock galleries. But let's have a conversation, which picures do you think are excessive, and we can look over it all, and remove some of them?
Okay, well ...sorry ahead of time, this is sure to turn into a very long reply.
But for example, the picture called "church10" would be an example of unnecessary stock. It's essentially the same pose as found in "church12". The main difference is the amount of surroundings shown and size of model in the frame. I'd keep the "church12" picture because the model is more prevalent in the frame. One could always shrink down that subject if need be, more easily than it would be to blow up the one in "church10".
Or the difference between "church4" and "church5"; one could be dropped, no? The difference between these is quite minute as well, the only main difference that I find is between where the subject is looking (not because her head is turned, but rather just where her eyes are focused). I realize the importance of giving artists plenty of options to choose from as you said, but this doesn't seem like a big enough difference - artists can't always be that choosy. It's worth keeping in mind that there are many flexible, talented artists - you don't have to cater to there every need. They can find ways around certain little details, and make things work even if it's not 100% what they are looking for. You don't have to submit a million variations of the same basic picture concept just to solve this for them. For example, an artist with enough experience to effectively utilize stock photos to manipulate could easily change the direction of the model's gaze within photoshop also, they wouldn't require a seperate photo to choose from.
Other examples of pictures to similar to justify seperate submissions include: cyber11 (basically just cyber6 reversed, yes?); MixedCath11 or 12; several pictures in the prom or 'curly series; Prop3 and Prop2 and Prop1 very, very close. in fact, and perhaps this is just soley what my opinion, but the 'Prom' pictures could be deleted all together. I'd assume as those pictures were probably never originally meant for the stock gallery, but rather as a record of the event (who doesn't take pictures at prom?), those are much better suited in your Scrap section. They are just ordinary snapshots; Striped13, 12, 11, and 10; Fairy 70 and 69 and Fairy 62 and 63; other 'Fairy' photos taken on the swingset, including 22, 21, and 20; Fairy4 and Fairy5 are, as far as i can tell, the same picture essentially.
It's just that all artists have a picture in their head of what they are searching for when they search through stock - including me. It's just natural that any given artist would want to find what they are looking for as quickly as possible, which is made much harder when they browse through the stock section, and are met with page after page of what looks like the same pictures over and over - when those don't represent what they are looking for to begin with. Again, though, sorry for my initial aggitation, it was not called for.
May I ask you exactly how often your stock is used? Do you have a favorite piece by someone else that was made possible by one of your stock photos? And if there is, I'd love it if you sent a link to it, I'm always interested in the more innovative things people do with stock photos.
Hope you read all this - it was a lot - and hope you reply to further continue this conversation.
