Heading Into 2013
We are well on our way towards the warmer part of the year for those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere, and whilst we shake off our winter blues and snow boots, our Southern Stockers have been wowing us with new beautiful stock and resources (whilst sweltering in the heat!)
Gallery Cleanup
The gallery cleanup is still going on, but with a reminder to be patient with us, we know its not easy but we have a very VERY big gallery and just a few people (mostly just Erin and myself) tackling the issue, but its not been forgotten or ignored. Erin and I are also very busy with home life as well
If you feel we've missed out on a sub category (sadly this is very likely right now as we concentrate our efforts on the most used/submitted to areas) please feel free to note us and point us in the right direction!
New Submission Page and Updated Gallery Descriptions
The new submission page has been launched meaning that gallery descriptions and "example" deviations for each sub category are now much much more visible and we hope (with a few adjustments to the examples which is still going on) that the category definitions make it much easier for you to find and submit your stock and resources to the very best location to make the most of your exposure!

Texture Your World Contest
Texture Your World ContestTell us the story of your world in textures! We are surrounded 24 hours a day by objects that have texture, they may be smooth or bobbly, old or new, bold, bright, shiny or dull. You might see a texture every day and never notice it until you start looking. Do you sit at a desk that's textured, or pass an interesting tree on the way to work or school?We want you, in the form of a triptych (thats 3 images forming a larger image see example here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych ) to tell us the story of your textured world. Each individual texture should stand on its own, both as a useful resource and as a cohesive part of the whole s...

Winter days are short, with long nights. The cold weather can make us sad and lethargic.The season offers a sense of calmness and makes us feel peaceful. The most romantic time of the year?A snowy, frosty, cold world or rain and endless grey skies can be beautiful but some people find that they become seasonally depressed as they receive less light in winter.

Help Needed!
Khudozhnik-Stock Is looking for help for a new stock orientated project, check out full details below!
HELP NEEDED!!! (on a new project) About Project 'stock-A-zine'... As you all can read in the description of the Magazine Concept, I was looking for a challenge that could contribute to my personal portfolio. As a member of the deviantart stock community, I didn't have to think long or hard to figure out a subject for this project. As in normal life, a magazine is compiled, designed and edited by teams of people with a various set of skills. As for this project... I can't do it all alone. This magazine is going to be (or I hope it will) a huge collaboration between me, the whole DA community (with any relation to stock) and deviantART itself! English is not my main ...

DeviantART is dedicated to protecting our artists, and in an effort to be able to more quickly handle complaints by deviants who have had their rights infringed on, we have changed the way we receive complaints from the artist or the copyright holder. In the past, we took reports by the copyright holder in two different ways: An informal report via the Report Violation tool and a formal complaint via contacting the Help Desk.
