Member Guidelines

Stock-For-Premades


We're here to help provide you with easy access to stock photos for your next big project. This group is focused on unrestricted stock items for the creation of premade backgrounds. Only unrestricted stock will be accepted. Feel free to browse our gallery, and our listed stock providers. This group is an extension of the full stock group #The-Stock-Directory. If you are seeking other types of stock, be sure to go there and check out the gallery!

We have a philosophy with this group: This Group does not belong to just one person or an elite few. It belongs to all our members equally. Everyone has a say in how the group is run, what changes are made, and can submit announcements or contests for the blog. We do not participate in the snobby, elitist mentality. We welcome and support each other and our new members.

.:-Membership-:.
You must be a stock provider to join the group. All stock submitted must be available to use in the creation of premade backgrounds.

If you are an artist or provider who wishes to make premade backgrounds, but do not let others make them with your stock, please watch the group instead.



.:-Member Conduct-:.

We try to be a friendly and supportive group towards our members, watchers, and guests. Harassment in any form will not be tolerated. If you are found to be harassing, belittling, or otherwise involved in destructive behavior towards a fellow member, you will be immediately removed and banned from the group. This is a non-negotiable policy and is not restricted to group activity. Violations will also include inappropriate behavior in other groups, profiles, journals and so on.

We Take A Stand Against Cyber-Bullying in ANY form.

Membership for Stock Providers:

:bulletpurple: Submit your request as a member or a contributor.

Membership for Stock Users:

:bulletpurple: Submit your request as a Member or simply watch the group. :)

-----------------

.:-Submission Limits-:.

As it stands right now we have a limit of 5 submissions per day, per folder. Both Members and Contributors have the same submission rights and limits.(Note to members: When this does get to be too much, let me know! I will change it asap!)

:star: You MUST be a member to submit stocks to our gallery!

.:-Stock Submission Guidelines-:.

Accepted
Here is how to get your photo accepted:
Follow dA's guidelines for creating stock: FAQ #809: What are deviantART's stock image guidelines?

:bulletgreen: The stock must be available to be used in the creation of premade backgrounds by other stock providers.
:bulletgreen: Submitted to the correct folder. (Ex. Equine image to Equine Stock Folder.)
:bulletgreen: Image is sharp and detailed. (Ex. High Resolution.)
:bulletgreen: Image is over 1000 pixels. (Ex. 1000 x 500px, 600 x 1000px.)
:bulletgreen: Stock has major parts shown. (Ex. head, tail, feet, nose, etc..)
:bulletgreen: The stock is your own work, not someone else's.


Rejected
Here is why we will reject your photo:
:bulletred: Submitted to the wrong folder. (Ex. Landscape image to the Waterscapes Stock Folder.)
:bulletred: Image is blurry. (Ex. Low resolution.)
:bulletred: Image is under 1000 pixels. (Ex. 999 x 500px, 600 x 999px.)
:bulletred: Celebrities or Public Figures: Unless you are the photographer of the actual photo being submitted with a model release, these will not be accepted. This includes all actions and gradients.
:bulletred: The stock is stolen or "borrowed" from someone else. This will result in immediate removal from the group and notification of the original artist and :devart:.

.:-Stock Use Guidelines-:.

:bulletpurple: :star: Do NOT use outside resources to create premade backgrounds. This includes other sites like sxc.hu and so on. It is a violation of dA policy! You can read more about this policy in the blog: [link] and [link] as written by $realitysquared

There is some gorgeous work here!

Only unrestricted stock is accepted here? Does that go for textures too?

And just so you know, I don't think =CelticStrm-Stock is unrestricted. I clicked on a few of her things and she has a lot of restriction in place.

The stock that is submitted into in the gallery must be allowed to be made into a premade background. Different stock artists may have different rules, sometimes by folder, but the members here have at least some stock that is allowed to be used by others in premades. Personally, all my stock can be used for... whatever... because I do not have the time to care!

Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me. I am looking for the owner of some stock I used a long time ago. Back then, I didn't intend on uploading my graphics to dA, so I didn't write down what stock belonged to who. I have since decided to upload them, but now they don't have credit. Can someone help me find the owners? Here are the two graphics:

The Fallen Angel of Envy - I need to know who the girl sitting on the couch belongs to.

The Fallen Angel of Pride - I need to know who the girl looking into the mirror belongs to.

Please respond when you can. Thanks!

It's more or less a photomanipulation of more than two photographs to create an entirely new scene for other artists to use in their work. My premade background: [link] was used by another artist to create this finished work: [link] We created the group, because you have be very careful and specific about what stock you use to make premade backgrounds. The stock providers who submit images to this group give permission for them to be used to create premades. :) Hope that helps!
