Oh yey, that last one was the 500th deviation. :3 That's fun!

Just wanted to post again to get some feedback on the 12th shoot. As I mentioned in one of the submissions, the lights are going and the quality of the shots has gone down noticeably. >,< I am going to pick up some more bulbs soon, but I don't think I am going to keep using the Tungsten ones I've been using because they are kind of expensive to run. ^_^; Anyone have any Home Depot/Lowe's bulb recommendations?

Photo manipulators - do they still work for you?

Pose ref people, you should be good right?

Let me know.

The comic portion of the Comistock Contest is over! Yey, that was fun!

I will happily accept any donations to go towards props, maintaining a subscription, lighting, and the electric bill when I run the darn things. If the stock has been very helpful (or profitable!) to you and you feel it deserves your support, my PayPal address is Sakura @ Sailorastera.com. Please tell me your DA name with your donation so that I can create a permanent listing here in my journal to show my gratitude. Thank you so much for your support!





Read the RULES! before you USE!

You must credit for this stock; a link to the account in your comments is appropriate credit. You can link to the account by typing in : iconsenshistock : or : devSenshiStock : without the spaces. You can also link directly to the pose you used if you'd like.

Send a note to me or leave a comment on the stock image you've used. You can also post on my front page since I check it regularly. Please post a link to the final image and not just your general gallery. This one's really important to me because I want to see how the stock is being used, and it also allows others to find your work!

This stock can be used for just about anything on DeviantART from traditional and digital art pose reference, to doll base reference, to photo manipulation, etc. If you use the stock for strictly pose reference, you do not need permission to post it outside of DA or for any other general artistic use, such as Prints. You still must credit the stock for the pose reference though. A link to the main account page is appropriate credit.

If you want to use this stock for something like photo manipulation in which my likeness will still be apparent, you MUST get permission from me before using those types of images outside of DA.

Do not repost this stock or parts of this stock on other sites/accounts. This includes direct linking to the images. Direct linking to anything on DA is a violation of site policy anyway, so just don't do it.

This stock is not to be used for commercial purposes without permission.


Most likely date of the next shoot could be sometime in late May or early June (in the new house!)

This is going to be a stock account run by *sakky-attack/~asteraascended (same girl!) with contributions from some of her friends. The goal of this stock account is to provide reference images for creators of original characters, otaku senshi, within the metaseries Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon and pose references for canon Sailor Moon fanart. Certainly, the stock is going to expand in a more general direction, but I do plan on keeping the 'Sailor' theme.

Please note, often the Download view is larger than the "Full" view.


These are not going to be high quality photographs. I am a terrible photographer and I am taking these pictures in my living room with the best lighting I can afford. These images are mainly for my own reference for poses, but I am sharing them with others in case they are of use to anyone else. Please do not comment on the quality (or lack of quality) of these stock images. Suggestions are welcome, but please don't be seriously critical of them. I am putting sincere effort into making them the best they can be, but I can't promise anything. These images were made mainly for pose reference which they are perfectly suitable for. If you are a talented enough photo manipulator to use them in your medium then I welcome you to.

You will sometimes see: random shadows, small sections of limbs cut off, sections of my furniture protruding into the frame, random animals walking by, terrible lighting, random doorknobs in the background of many images, and probably enough terrible things to make a true photographer cry. I would like to hope that the more recent stock is improving. ^_^;


The Scraps for this account will be 'outtakes' from shoots. These images will include all the pictures I didn't think were "presentable" enough for the main gallery (sections cropped off, too much kitty in the way). It will also include some more silly shots. :3 You should still feel free to use these images if you want to, but all the regular rules apply.


Why are you wearing just a bodysuit?
This stock is intended mainly to be reference for base poses for character drawings. It is important to me that as much of the form is made clear as is possible. I chose a white bodysuit hoping it would show contour well, while still giving me some covering up.
Will you do some with costumes?
No. There are tons of AMAZING stock artists on DA that work with stunning costumes. As per my Mission Statement and the above question, my goals with this account are not along those lines.
Will you put your hair down?
Like clothing, hair can cover up the contour of the neck and shoulders. I don't even LIKE how I look with my hair like that >,< but it's the best way to make sure that most of the figure is visible.
Why are you wearing nylons in some pics but not in others? Can you not wear nylons? Can you wear nylons?
I wear the nylons because early in my shoots people asked for more definition of the legs. Now people are asking for shots without them, but I can't please everyone. :3 I don't plan on changing in and out of them based on the pose either, and I think they do help define the pose well. Since the main purpose of this stock is for pose reference, I'm mostly concerned with the form being visible. So, unless the focus of the pose is the feet/toes, I will likely be wearing nylons. I figure if people want to use it for photo manipulation pics they will just have to learn to photo manipulate the nylons off.
Do you take pose requests?
Oh please leave messages with pose ideas! I really run into blocks sometimes. If you've got some general ideas, specific poses, etc. just let me know and I will try my best!
