My rules are mainly standard but you should, nevertheless, read them with care:

1. You don't need permission to use my stock here on dA, as long as you follow the rules. If you want to use my stock at other places, for any purpose, you have to ask me first.

2. Always credit me and my stock with a link back here, for your own and my sake. How to link: write this: :devsecretwhispers-stock9: and delete the 9. More information regarding how to link to stuffs, you can find in the dA FAQ.

3. Send me a note with the link to your deviation and to what stock you used, I'd like to be able to see what you've done, and I might fave or feature your work.

4. You may not use my stock for hate-propaganda, suicide-glorification stuff (because honestly, it's making me bored by now), propaganda, religious motives or erotic stuff (sorry!). I do have exceptions for religions that I allow to influence the motive, here's the list:
Spiritual and tribal,
Norse mythology,
Greek mythology,
Roman mythology,
Ancient Egyptian mythology,
and
Wicca.

Gore and violence is ok with all images. However, I don't want you to create any motives that pictures animal cruelty.

Also, only changing colors and applying filters to an image is not enough to make it a photo-manipulation. Do use your imagination!

5. Prints. You will find that some of my stock photos will have the comment "Can't be used for print except if I get a print myself", which means that the particular photo was hard or expensive to take. My other stock can be used in prints on dA, as long as you note me about it, I might get interested and buy one!

6. Commercial use is prohibited.

7. Do not use outside dA, unless I've given you permission. Terms for that kind of usage, you and I personaly will agree on.

---

These terms may be changed at any point, I'm not guilty to update you on the terms. Any breaking of my rules might result in you having your work taken down.

Feel free to use my stock both for photomanipulation and reference!
