Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to give you the heads up that I will be going through each of the gallery folders and 'cleaning up'.  Basically, I will be moving deviations to make sure they are in the correct category.  

I will also be double checking for images that have 'illegally used' images in them (from Google etc) and I will be removing them.  Please remember that the backgrounds you submit must be either all your own content, or you must have permission to use the images in a pre-made background.  Make sure to credit in your descriptions where required by the original stock provider.  

If you are using your own images to make the backgrounds, it is usually best to indicate in your description that the images are your own.

I'd like to thank everyone for their submissions and continued support, you guys are great :heart:

Thanks,
Morgan
I was away for a week, and when I come back
i find so much submissions expired.
So please who submit and see them work expired,
resubmit. I'll try to be more present, for what my
commitments (work, family, groups) permit me to do.

I also would ask to the Contributors
who is around and can help.

Thanks so much to all.

:wave: First of all, a big thanks to the all new members and watchers of the group.
Thanks so much for joining the group :hug:

Secondly, I wanna thank :iconb-squaredstock: for having made this amazing group a Supergroup again! :smooch:

The reason that I'm writing this journal is because we had to decline some amazing pieces since we have found out that they don't follow some rules:

:bulletpink: no stock credited
:bulletyellow: no permission to use stocks to create other stocks resources
:bulletgreen: violation of the terms of use (owner doesn't allow the use of their stocks out of DA, while the new stocks created report that they can be use outside of the site)

So please, when you use resources from other stockers first of all be sure that you can
use them, if you're not sure, ask before. This makes it so that you don't waste time to create a stock, and then are not able to share.

Always credit the resources you use, and if you use personal resources, please write it in the comments.

:new: We are working on a list of stockers that have unrestricted stocks

What is unrestricted stock?
Unrestricted resources refers to any stock image, brush pack, texture, or other submission with the purpose of being used to create Artwork, or any of the following:

:bulletblue:Websites, journals and banners
:bulletgreen: Literary tags and images
:bulletpink: Advertising, publishing, portfolios
:bulletorange: Games, packaging, electronic media, etc.
:bulletyellow: For traditional artists, as reference source.
:bulletpurple: Create other resources
:bulletred: And of course on dA and offsite prints

Unrestricted stock however,  is not meant to be sold in packs or redistributed as you can find it.
Stock that is not unrestricted is any piece of stock for which, upon use, permission of any kind must be asked from the owner.
Also, if the owner asks to not use the stock off site, you can't make a background with that stock and say that it can be used off site.
This also applies if the owner of stock used said that the resource can't be use in pornography, or racism work, or against animal.


So if you have unrestricted stocks, or you know someone who is a stocker and has no rules, or unrestricted stock, let us know so we can contact and ask if we can add to the list.

I wanna also say "a big thanks so much" to all the groups and admins of these groups who help in creating this list:
