#Stock Rules
Heya guys The-Average-Alex here.
So we still vote on all photomanipulation submissions, and the lovely StarsColdNight has noticed that a lot of you have not been providing links to the stock images used, and also that many of you have been using non-stock images in your artwork. We uphold deviantarts rules on the use of stock imagery so we have decided to post a list of stock sites that we will accept as well as stock sites that we will not accept.
Accepted sites
deviantart.com (only from the stock section)
123rf.com
fotolia.com
freeimages.com
pixabay.com
freestock.ca
rgbstock.com
Dreamstime.com
Shutterstock.com
Gettyimages

wikimedia.org
MorgueFile
sites we won't accept
mediamilitia.com
mrg.bz
itsphotoshop.com
brushlovers.com

Special notes
Please note that we will accept images that use stock from other stock sites aside from the ones listed as acceptable, this is just a guideline showing some of the sites that we trust and also ones that are not acceptable
If you use a "render"/"tubed" image (an image that has been cut out from its original background) of any anime/manga/videogame artwork you work will be declined. Also any "render"/"tubed" images of celebrities/internet personalities/adult entertainers will be declined as well.
If you do not include links to the stock images used your work WILL BE DECLINED. we have made this very clear over the past four years, StarsColdNight still sends out hundreds of messages each week asking for links to the stock images used.
