Instead of doing art, I just spent the evening burning DVDs and deleting files from my hard drive in preparation for a huge defrag. :) It's been longer than I can remember since I defragged my hard drive, and it desperately needs it. But at least I've now got almost half my hard drive empty.

While that was going on, I wandered through DeviantArt looking for deviants who posted stock photos and allowed any use, just to have a source of things to go to. What I did *not* do was check them for quality, so there may be some really awful stuff in these links. Just warnin' ya. Anyway, for those of you who use photos for pose reference, here's the list of who I've got so far:



Note that they may not allow use of their stock as photomanipulations. Probably best to use them for pose reference only, so the individual person is not identifiable.

Did you catch the recent news article specifically on royalty-free stock accounts?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Nope, I've been avoiding DA for the most part, except for last night. :D

(note question by droiche below. :D)

What news article? I do know DA is doing an incredibly ambitious project to build the biggest and most complete catalog of stock pictures catalog (of the entire net even O_O) ever.


Thank you, Telo. I might find something useful for when I get around to drawing my one and only OC guy.

Ignore typos please. >_>

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Wow, there's been a lot going on over there while I've been ignoring it. O.O

[droiche.livejournal.com]

Yuss. I do read the monthly DA newsletters. Sort of. >_> Fan art is getting more attention, and there was a drive to root out kiddy pr0n at about the same time LJ was rooting out kiddy pr0n (but DA was much much quieter about it. LOLz).

Stuff happens when you're not looking. ;-)

Hey I was googling myself (sad I know) and I'm Midnighteskye on deviantart and I do allow for my stock to be used in photomanipulations. All the photos are taken at 5MP so it's not great if it's too big but it's good if it's small. Just thought I'd let ya know!

Hey, thanks! :D
