Just so there is no confusion as to what is and is not unrestricted stock here is the definition in LawrenceDeDarks own words.

"Unrestricted stock can be used for both personal and commercial projects, but it cannot be redistributed as stock. You are not required to obtain permission prior to using the stock off site or in DA prints. The only requirements are that the stock provider be notified and credited."

This is the basic rule,. However some stockers may have some requests such as how to notify them of stock use and no using stock in pornographic, derogatory, antireligious or in ways that might be considered illegal either in their own country or the user's. I don't think this is unreasonable so do make sure to check out the individual's terms of service.

This list is subject to change as I find more stock providers or artists close or change their terms of service"

But not literally, right?

Just letting you know I totally /do/ pay attention to requests ....even if it takes me about forever and a half before I upload them (people should totally make me aware of deadlines if they exist...)

Anyway, what's on the agenda;
*Hands holding: Need another model
*Gripping
 -Shoulder (Done-uploaded)
 -Arm of chair (Done)
 -Forearm (Done-uploaded)
*Perspective (Done-uploaded)
*Holding gun: Must get dad to agree to let me borrow his gun
*Back of hand holding champagne glass (Done)

So essentially I have 2 more sets that I currently have done to upload and a couple more sets to takes pictures for yet.

Keeping you updated! And suggestions are welcome

Love it or hate it...it's so happening.

My sister got me an additional long tube-like blacklight for Christmas and I plan on (ab)using it to its full potential
I tested it out earlier today and it gives off a lot more light than the puny bulb I bought ._. (which was like 7 dollars by the way. The tube was 10. It's obvious what the better deal was.)
I have enough blacklight UV bodypaint and glitter to last me quite a while so now all I need is for Kelly to stop having a life and be my slave-model >;}

I'm thinking some voodoo/shaman-ish stock is in the foreseeable future. Might be able to bribe my brother in participating.  Other than that...blacklight eye stock!? And then probably some unfancy UV paint full-body design....maybe.

Not sure if these will work well for photomanipulations (I'm sorry that I tend to cater towards the drawers and painters out there >.>) but eh. We'll see how it goes. It'll depend on the photo.

If anyone has tips/suggestions for blacklight photography, it would, as always, be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty excited for this though

I'm rarely on DeviantArt these days so new rules are;

1.) Go ahead and use my image for anything personal/commercial. You don't have to tell me, you don't have to credit me. If you'd  like to leave a link back to your artwork in a comment or note--feel free! I may log on in the future and I'd like to see what people have used my image for but it's not a requirement, so no pressure.
2.) Respect the model
3.) Don't use to promote hateful things

UPDATE 9/6/2014
This goes along with Rule #3 (now part of rule #1 as  of 2023) where I state that I'm okay with commercial use, however some of my stock is taken at a museum and therefore cannot be used for commercial purposes. I'll state this in the description box so there's no confusion. I apologize for any inconvenience, but obviously I have no control over the museum's rules.

Lastly, if you have any questions/concerns, NOTE ME. I am happy to answer any inquiries you have about my stock or otherwise (2023 update: I'll probably not get  back to you for like...years SORRY)

Ain't no way I'm going through every single picture from back when I used to write my rules out in the image description so just know that *these* are the official rules now

Halloween is the time of year where it's acceptable to dress like a vampire, wear dark jewelry and excessive make up...so naturally, it's my favorite holiday
So for the month of October I was hoping to do Halloween-themed stock, but I have only a few ideas.
Unfortunately my model ditched me to go to college...pfft.
I still have my brother but that very much depends on his mood. There's also me...but I'd have to  get significantly less unattractive and/or heavily photoshop my face ._.

Anyways, I have this so far;
Graveyard stock. Hell yeah.
Potential skull stock
I have a random blood-splattered plastic tablecloth, though I'm not sure what good that'd do.
If I can find my nephew's cat, I could have black cat stock
This...pot thing. Trust me, it's just awesome.
Re-do's of my wineglass&blood stock as well as my "syringe" thing o.O
I have more moon stock but....ehh. I kind of have enough of that already posted.

So, if anyone has ideas, feel free to share. But remember I may not have a willing model or proper resources...but still. Suggestions and very much appreciated
I guess my only guideline would be to keep it kind of dark (vampires etc) because though things like fairies (...dark fairies are okay?) and mermaids and stuff can be related to Halloween (and are definitely fun to do) I associated those more with fantasy (not that vampires /aren't/ fantasy of course )

EDIT:...I went to Walgreens. Not gonna lie, they have some pretty awesome stuff and I ended up spending way too much money >.> but I got some pretty decent stock photos out of it
Goodwill is up next
