Just Provide a Link Already...

Thu Nov 19, 2009, 11:32 AM
There seems to be a trend going around lately where people are starting to tell me (and other stock providers, I'm sure), "I have used your stock, see my gallery for the image."
Why not send a link to the deviation in which you've used my stock? It's a pretty pathetic excuse/trick to gain page views if you ask me.
I would rather not see your work at all than be 'forced' to search for it through your gallery. When I'm given a link to the deviation, more often than not I visit the person's gallery after I look at their deviation anyway...
And for those of you who, 'don't know how to link, you'll have to visit my gallery to see it,' all you do to link is copy and paste the url of the image to create a link.

I love looking at the art that's created with my stock, it's an awesome feeling to see it used, but it's annoying to have people trying to trick me into viewing their deviant page.
So. If you're going to send me a message at all about stock being used, link the deviation or it's a waste of your time and clutter in my message box. Just throwing that out there.



:bulletblack:STOCK RULES:

:bulletblack:You do not have to notify me if you use the images, though it is appreciated (and I love to see them).
:bulletblack:I am not requiring that you credit the image, though, again, it is appreciated.
:bulletblack:You may use the images in Prints.
:bulletblack:You may post manipulations or traditional art that include or are referenced from my images on other sites.

THIS IS THE ONLY RESTRICTION TO USING MY STOCK:
:bulletblack:Do NOT repost my original images! You are free to manip away without restraint or hindrance, just PLEASE do not repost the unedited, original image. If you want to show your love for an image, just :+fav: ! Thanks! :heart:
In case it isn't clearly implied, not reposting my original images mean NOT reposting my images as stock- EVEN when you credit me as the original stock poster in your comments, EVEN if you cut the image out and post it as a precut. If I want my images to be posted as a precut, I will do it myself. Thanks for understanding.

Do you read Discworld? The quote just made me wonder.
:icongloomwriter:
Of course! Terry Pratchett is a god among writers... :D I love the Discworld series as well as everything else he writes. Have you read Good Omens? It's awesome.

I haven't read Good Omens yet. I have to have somethings to save for special occasions.
:iconmatuski:
I have uploaded the manip on my account now ;)

Hello, I have used your stock earlier without being a member of DA and I loved that you did not require to see the manips, so I could use them. Now I have finally got a membership, and a club I am in called Pollux, and they are having a contest where you can send in a photo, a drawing, a collage etc. and the winner gets their picture on the back of a laptop that they get. I was thinking of making a photo manipulation for the contest, with your amazing horses and also one of your backgrounds =P But I was just wondering if I need to credit you on the picture? If I win, I probably wouldnt like text over the picture ;) I also thought it would be best to ask you first, because I didnt find anything about contests like this in your rules.

No credit needed, I completely understand not wanting watermarks or credits all over a picture... :D

Oh, thank you so much! <3 But I will note you if I win the contest, and the manip will be uploaded on my account, although then I will put credit for you in the description so more people can use your amazing stock photos! =D
