Feel free to use my stock photos for your photomanipulations and drawing references, but please remember:

You must send me a note or leave me a message on my account page telling me that you used my stock; a note is preferable.
You do not need to ask to use my stock on DeviantArt.
Use outside of DeviantArt is okay as long as you ask and send me a link to the page it will be displayed on.
My images are not for use in anything pornographic or hate based in content.
You must ask before selling a deviation made with or referenced from my stock.
I do allow printing, but only when you ask.
Do not put a deviation you made using my stock in the photography section. These are for use for photomanipulations and drawing references, not for you to put a border on and steal.
Have fun!



My Mission: To provide breathtaking stock photo sets for photo manipulations, drawing references, and anything in between using my costuming and imagination to its fullest extent.







ASK ME ABOUT COSTUME COMMISSIONS!
