Welcome to Safe Stock Resources

"It's not about how many members we have, it's about who our members are. We care about our Resources & Stock Community. We strive to provide quality, safe, and legitimate stock resources for artists to use."

This group is based on the pledge that we as stock providers distribute safe and legitimate stock resources. We pledge to follow all dA Term and Guidelines regarding our stock resources, so that artists may use our stock without fear or penalty.

#Safe-Stock-Resources was formed as a way to feature the stock providers that are known and trusted for their content. It was not created as your average 'submit anything' group. It is meant to be a place where artists can go to see a selection of stock providers that they can trust.

Only verified members will be allowed to join. The submission process will be strict and thorough. Not everyone will be approved. All potential members must be stock resource providers. If you are interested in joining, send the group a note, and we will put you into the consideration queue. If you are an artist seeking stock to use, please watch the group instead.

For more information about stock guidelines, please visit:

FAQ #792: As a stock art resource provider, how can I be of help in regards of stock art resource usage in prints?

FAQ #752: If my print contains an image that isn't mine, can I still use it for print?

FAQ #809: What are deviantART's stock image guidelines?

FAQ #217: What are "Stock and Resources" and can I use them in my submissions?

FAQ #306: Does "Crediting" let me use whatever I want?

FAQ #257: What sort of permission do I need to use someone else's work?

FAQ #193: How do I prove that I had permission to use someone's work?

We hope you all had an excellent beginning to the New Year! Please find below some very interesting contests, features and news.
Precut stock - all the problems :/
Precut stock is something that like Marmite, people either love, or hate. Either way it brings its own special issues to stock providers and photomanipulators alike, so I've highlighted some very important points you should take into consideration below.

Precut stock is in its very nature "EDITED" therefore its is no longer in its original photographic form and should therefore be posted to resources/clipart OR stock/premade backgrounds/.. NOT to the usual stock galleries which should be reserved for original photography that has only very minor post production edits such as exposure/brightness/contrast etc. alterations according to DA's gallery definitions.

Precut stock - like all photo

Membership and Submission Guideline InformationThis is the outline of our group membership and submission requirements. Just like at #The-Stock-Directory, everyone has a say in how this group is run. If you have a suggestion or addendum to the rules, please let us know. After this blog is published, I will be adding a folder so that you can submit your Stock Terms of Use journals, so feel free to submit them. Even though the membership requirements are strict and thorough, this group will not be an elitist snob society. I don't play by those rules.
If you are a new stock provider and are watching or considering this group, I encourage you to visit #The-Stock-Directory and look over the Learning Resources for Stock Artists gallery. #The-Stock-Directory is a learning based group that helps new providers grow and learn the ropes. I would also encourage you to familiarize yourself with the

terms and guidelines regarding stock. That should

Submission Guidelines:

- All submissions must be listed in the Resources & Stock category of deviantART.

- As this is a Featured Member group, only deviants who have been accepted as a member will have their work accepted.

If you know of a legitimate stock and resource provider invite them to join the group or have one of the admins send an invitation; please do not submit their stock to us unless they are a member here!

- All submissions must adhere to dA Terms and Guidelines.

- All Premade Backgrounds must be credited, whether it's your own resources or legitimate 3rd Party resources. (i.e. another dA stock provider that allows for premades.) Note: Premades should never be created with images from sxc.hu, DepositPhotos, etc. It violates their redistribution terms.)

- All Precut Images must be of your own resources or precut with permission from the original stock provider. They must be credited in the artists comments. They should NEVER come from google images, retail websites, or other copyrighted images.

Just an update to everyone. I can now write a journal but my ability to add thumbs still has not been fixed, however, we are making progress! The Earth Week features should conclude soon, my apologies to those of you awaiting days 5-7, they will be posted ASAP!

As many of you are aware of a few deviants, myself included, have had their stock stolen and resold as digital scrapbook kits on DeviantScrap.com by a person known by Miss Behaving. Please note that DeviantScrap.com is not at fault here. Please do not blame the website for the theft done by a member. It is no more their fault than it is deviantART's fault a deviant steals or posts stolen art.

That being said, I just received a reply to my request about removing the scrap kit that contained my copyrighted stock. It is a success, her kits have ALL been removed. All that remains are tutorials. You may see the response below.

I asked Hollie, the owner of DeviantScrap.com, to forward Miss Behaving's email address to me so that my attorney may seek monetary damages. I have blurred out Miss Behaving's email (as well as Hollie's) in the response; however, if anyone was a victim of Miss Behaving and need to try to be compensated for the thefts send me, =DamselStock, a note and I will give you her email address.

Thanks for the invitation. I've started to upload some of the pictures I made at the island of Texel. I was so excited to finally see "the Slufter". Now I really want to go back some day with both high tide at spring tide when the waterlevel is at extreme height.
