:bulletgreen:  please note me when youv use my stock because i love seeing what people have done with it! also give credit for the stock and please link back here


:sun: F.A.Q :sun:

>Q Can I make a DA print using your stock?
the general rule is that if the image has been well manipulated and youv obviously put work into creating a new piece of art, i will allow it to be used in Prints.
:bulletpurple: NOTE: the series' entitled 'faerywood' and 'admist the flowers' will not be allowed to used in prints.
:bulletpurple: if i do allow you to create a print from my images, especially ones from my 'women' gallery, i would like a print of it!
remember im giving you these images for free, which you will then be making profit off, im not even going to ask for a cut in the print sales, just one copy of it!
:bulletpurple: and if you agree to this, and i send the permissions email, i do expect to recieve the print in return! please dont rip me off. it is breaking our agreement and action will be taken, thank you
sorry but i have to protect myself as the model but more so as the photographer as i take my work seriously :)


>Q dA use only? are there any exceptions?
always always ask first. if you note me to say you are going to use my work outside dA i will consider it very rude and more often that not make you take it down. this also mean wait for my reply!
only in exceptional circumstances will i actually allow you to post my face on non-art-specific websites, forums, bbses, or blogs.
however , i feel more leanient about letting you post images with me in them into another online art galleries but as i said, always check with me first.

>Q how do i link?
:iconlucias-stock: = :iconlucias-stock:
:devlucias-stock: = lucias-stock
i also prefer it if you say what part of your work came from my stock, and even a link back to my original stock photo if you can take the time :)

>Q what is the 'exclusive stock pack' I have been hearing about?
the Exclusive Stock pack is a folder of never seen before high res images, its packed with arty portraits, exclusive poses, some more risque costumes (not the ones i want just anyone on dA seeing!), you'l find extra shots from some popular series like the fae portrait shots (awake and sleeping y'know? ) , full body swimming neried photos and much much more!
so how do you get to use it?
by winning competitions! not just my own, but this exclusive pack is featured as a prize in comps across dA! :D look out for it!!! :love:
each winner will get to view the preview pack, choose the images they want, then i'l email the high res version to them, and take the preview from the pack, so its 100% exclusive to them :)

>Q can i use your stock in a school project?
yes by all means! good luck with it! id love to see a photo of it on dA though to see what youv done but this isnt 100% necessary :)

>Q 'special rules apply'? what does that mean?
:bulletgreen: this often means i want more ownership over the stock photo than just 'girl - lucias-stock.deviantart.com ', and i might want to submit my own copy of the final piece to my art account lucias-tears
:bulletgreen: this is most likely to apply to arty head shots where iv put alot of effort into the make up/concept/lighting/pose/costume/modelling/photograph or that it was never intended for stock.
:bulletgreen: dont worry, this doesnt mean every piece of art made from these specially labelled stocks will be posted at my art account, and if yours does get chosen you of course will be fully creditted for all your hard work! :)
:bulletgreen: i judge each image on it own, and there is no solid rule about what i would like to post at lucias-tears , obviously if you are a traditional artist, or youv digitally painted just using a pose and nothing else similar to the final image, i can hardly claim much ownership over it so will not want to post it over at lucias-tears unless you want to use the oppertunity to get exposure :heart:
:bulletgreen: dont worry, i will only post the finished piece in my art account if i feel that i really contributed to it. if you used the stock as a minor detail, in the background, or youv changed absolutally everything about the original stock except for the expression or something, i'l conceed that youv put an excessive amount of work into it making it your own.
:bulletgreen: and if it does get posted at lucias-tears , the original 'special rules' image will be privatised/put on restricted use so it was as if we collaborated from the start.
:bulletgreen: yes i know this is a bit complicated, and iv tried to explain it as best i can, if you've any questions just note me!
this does mean if you use and of my special rules stocks, you are agreeing to offer me a high res copy of the final piece we created. if this is something you'd be unhappy with, please be careful when selecting which of my stocks to use

>Q who shoots your photos?
i do. everysingle photo (with exception of the very first 20 or so uploaded) i have taken myself.
i use a compat digital camera with a timer : )

>Q can i suggest a new competition theme?
yeah of course you can! just note me with any ideas you have :hug:

>Q do you take requests?
not all the time. whenever i have time i try to do some but im at school and have alot of work to do so there is not also time. but  i take note of all requests and i'l slowly work through them!
when requesting always be as specific as you can:
:bulletblue: should i look at the camera or away?
:bulletblue: my hair be loose or tied up? with or without a fringe? plaits? bunches? braids?
:bulletblue: should my hair be straight or wavy?
:bulletblue: shot on a dark or light background?
:bulletblue: any jewellery?
:bulletblue: any make up? romantic? natural? gothic? over done?
:bulletblue: what facial expression you'd like?
:bulletblue: shoes or bare feet? socks? boots? sandels? trainers? high heels?
:bulletblue: any gloves? lacey? long? what colour?
:bulletblue: sitting on the ground or on a seat? standing? crouching?
:bulletblue: cameras perspective?
:bulletblue: what kind of lighting? from above? from below? the side?
:bulletblue: detailed costume ideas? take a look at previous stock photos for the items you know i have

:pointr: note: i cannot do nude shots so please stop requesting these, thanks!

>Q can i buy you a costume to wear?
sure! ;)
i will always graciously accept donations to help cover the cost of the props, lighting equipment and costumes! :giggle:
donators will recieve gifts of signed prints, gallery features and exclusive stock photos! :heart:

>Q would you like my old costumes or props?
oh gosh yes! seriously if anyone has any costumes that are too small/big for them, or just will never wear again, or any props like toy guns, swords, crowns etc etc instead of throwing them away id love to make use of them! i'l note you my home address and you will be rewarded for your kindness!

>Q can you re-shoot this for me?
if you want an image similar to one found here, but its not quite right, i would be happy to reshot from a different angle, different lighting etc (especially objects, as most of the things here are lying around my house and can be easily re-shot, women shots may be harder to do

>Q can i have your msn?
i will give it too you if we need to talk through a request.

>Q will you take nude shots? even just for me?
lol no sorry hun, its illegal.

>Q can i use your images in the dA mobile program?
no you can not.

>Q can i use your images in dark art?
of course you can! most of my images are geared to be used in dark art!

>Q so is there anything you wont allow?
i am under 18 so anything pornographic will not be tolorated.
id really also rather you did not stick my head on a nude photo (painting/drawings ok), no matter how artistic, its just a bit weird for me. though if you have an idea involving this, note me, and i might allow it.

>Q are you ok with me just posting your images with contrast and colour changes?
i know everyone needs to practice using photo editing programmes so im ok with it aslong as you properly credit me.

>Q can i paint/draw this?
definatly! im a huge fan of traditional art! just always remember to credit!

>Q will you do some exclusive stock photos just for me?
yes, if i have time, and like your work, then i will :nod: although this will be treated as a collaboration and i do retain the right as the photographer and would like to submit a version of my own to my art account. lucias-tears. for more info on requesting private stock packs see Different Stock Types Explained



:floating: my Stock Etiquette :floating:
ok, not rules per-se, but the little things that i prefer, and will keep me extra happy!

:bulletpurple: please only note this account, not my main account lucias-tears. there is no point really, because if i like it, i cant add it to my :+fav:s without having to farabout switching account and stuff. its just so pointless!
:bulletpurple: please only note me once. there is no need to send me a note, comment on every deviation you used to make the art, and note me on my main page. on a very personally level its just disapointing when i think my stock has got alot of use when its just the same guy posting four different times... :P
:bulletpurple: please dont tell me to comment. obviously i want to comment on your work, its just sometimes i am very busy, im at university and alot of my time isnt my own. please dont think you can tell me to comment on your work and more than anyother piece of work just because you used me stock in it.
:bulletpurple: please dont treat dA like a dating service. i am very flattered by your comments, and sometimes your sweet words really make my day. but please do not be rude or pushy, do not demand my msn and tell me you need to talk to me cos im so 'haut' or whatever the popular phrase is at the moment... i post stock to help the art community, not to compete for 'u r da sex' comments
:bulletpurple: please credit sufficiently. dont worry i know all artists have their own way of creditting and i respect this. but in an ideal world, i like to be credited with my name, lucias-stock , creditted for what part of the image belongs to me, i.e the forest background, the model etc, and a link to the original piece of stock you used :)


anything else youd like to know? :)

thank you
