Q.12 "How come Resurgere never favs or comments on my artwork, do they even look at the links I send them?" Questions



Answers;


Q.1 “Can I make a DA Print of any artwork I made that includes your stock?”



A. DA Prints count as commercial use of the stock, read the Terms of Use or and the next Q&A.





Q.2 “Can you give me permission to use Resurgere stock in my commercial artwork or commercial project?”


A. Don’t ask Resurgere, ask the Producers!!! You do need permission, but not from the group. Resurgere as an organization is not empowered to give you permission for commercial use, we can only distribute the stock under the terms of use and will never give users right beyond it.


So your question should be sent to individual team members, not the group.





Q.3 “Should I inform Resurgere when I use their stock?”


A.If the use of stock is at DA only, then it’s your choice. If the stock is used on a site outside DA or in real life then the Terms state that you must inform us.





Q.4 “What is the best way to inform Resurgere when I use their stock?”


A.The best way is to find the the package[s] or image[s] that you used in the Resurgere  gallery and then leave a comment which includes a link to your work. If the link is to artwork that is outside DA it is helpful if you would mention that in your comment. The comment and link will stay on the stock deviation forever and anyone can fallow your link to see what you did with the stock.


Another option to find the producer of the stock you used and then post a common on their page with a link to your work. You are more likely to get a comment from the producer than from Resurgere.


It is better not to inform us by note or by a comment on the  Resurgere page... If people inform us by note that fills our inbox very fast and makes it harder for us to quickly answer more important types of note, adding to our work load. Besides the loss of our time sorting notes, a notification by note is only seen by a few Resurgere staff not the whole team and not the public... If people inform us on the front page there is so much traffic that their comment will get pushed out of sight in a matter of days. See more on this subject at Q.13.





Q.5 “I have some images I’d like to share as stock, can Resurgere distribute them for me?”


A. Resurgere only distributes stock images and other resources produced by it’s Legion Members and Curators. To post your work in our gallery you have to join these Admins ranks. See below for more information





Q.6 “I would like to join Resurgere’s team as a producer, may I?”


A. You can find very detailed information on this by reading the blog entry here resurgere.deviantart.com/journ…





Q.8 “Can I use Resurgere stock in my school project?”


A. Generally Resurgere supports academic use. As long as that use does not have a commercial aspect to you don’t need special permission, though you will need to follow the rules which apply to use outside of DA.





Q.9 “I love that font you use, what is it?”


A. The main font we use is Hoefler Text Roman.





Q.10 “How did Resurgere get it’s name and what does it mean?”


A. It is a Latin word from which both “resource” and “resurge” are derived. The most common translation is “to rise again”.





Q.11 "Can I use Resurgere stock in my entry to a contest?"


A. Depends on the contest's terms. If for example the winning entry will be used in a commercial capacity [say, a book cover] then it's not allowed under the Terms of Use. Generally it is best to treat contests like commercial use and ask permission from the Producers of the stock you want to use.





Q.12 "How come Resurgere never favs or comments on my artwork, do they even look at the links I send them?"


A. Firstly, yes one of the curators looks at nearly every link you send us. Some of the links on the front page are missed, and sometimes links in notes are missed, but all links by comment are reviewed.


We almost never comment because we do not have the time to leave substantial feedback on each of the many images we review in a sitting.


We do fav usage from time to time, any of our Admins can +fav work they like as long as it uses Resurgere stock, but it does not happen often. See our "Fav Stock Usage" collection.

Concerning Affiliation,

Jan 30, 2010
This update is for those people interesting in getting some features and support from Resurgere, read below for instructions and information. Background... Resurgere has always received a lot of affiliation requests, and particularly since dA Groups went into beta we have seen a sharp increase in the amount of those requests. We feel it was time we addressed the issue in a journal to state our stance, to avoid having to answer so many requests indivdially in notes. We have never officially affiliated with any other group and do not plan to in the foreseeable future. Even though we have strong loyalties to certain other projects and do feat...

#SeniorsMentors,

Jan 24, 2010
The Seniors Mentoring Project officially relaunched last week, and is now accepting new mentees. What is the Seniors Mentoring Project ? The Seniors Mentoring Project is geared towards artists on dA who would like to better their skills and become a more educated artist. Senior Members of dA (the mentors) work with mentees (people who are getting mentored) on a one-on-one basis to answer any questions they may have, and help them improve their artwork all together. If you find a mentor you work well with, the relationship can have huge benefits in pushing your art forward. Having someone dedicated to giving you feedback and advice, workin...

About Resource Hunting,

Jan 21, 2010
The purpose of resource hunting in our case is to use some of Resurgere's popularity to promote stock from other dA stock artists. We are going to turn to the wider stock using and stock producing community at dA and ask them to help promote and share great resources from the around dA. The idea behind this of course is that many many users out hunting down good stock and bringing what they find back to us, is going to get us the best results and turn up a lot of resources we would have missed if only Resurgere admins were looking to feature work. :nod: At the time of this update we have had over 700 people join us as Resource Hunters! Com...

Sit Rep #3, Collections, Bulletin-board, etc

Oct 25, 2009
Another quick situation report 'for your information' for any members who are interested on how things are moving at the group lately and how alpha testing is going. Blogs to go, Bulletins to take their place For some reason that they have not explained yet, they are going to trash the back-room blog and replace it with a Bulletin board of some kind to replace the blog. Still don't have much info on this, but I mention it because this change happens you will get Bulletins in the group section of your message center, not the main part of your center. So keep an eye open there.I've been making yet more fuss over how you all should have the o...
