FAQ

Questions I have gotten or expect to get. If you have additional questions, just ask!


:bulletred: Can I use your stock?
Yes, but please read the Rules.

:bulletred: Can I post art I've made with your stock outside DA/on my web site/in my portfolio/in an art show/in my book/on a tee shirt/etc.?
If the artwork was made using the stock only as pose reference then the stock is unrestricted. That means the art you make from it is totally yours to do with as you please. If the art was made using the photo in it (commonly called a photo manipulation), then other rules apply. Please see the Rules for more information.

:bulletred: Do you take pose requests?
I take "suggestions." If you've got some general ideas, specific poses, etc. just let me know and if I think it's something I can do, I will add them to the list on the main page. Just keep in mind that I do a shoot every three or four months. In each shoot I take 150-250 photos, then I post them a few at a time over the course of a few months. This means that if you have a pose suggestion, it will be a few months before you actually see it. That is assuming I actually can do it or feel like doing it on the next shoot. This is not an on-demand service, sorry. ^_^

:bulletred: Why are you wearing just a bodysuit?
This stock is intended mainly to be for reference when creating works from scratch. 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 remaining somewhat modest. This allows the stock to be seen by deviants of all ages because no mature content marking is required.

:bulletred: 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 of providing pose reference, my goals with this account are not along those lines.

:bulletred: Will you put your hair down?
Like clothing, hair can cover up the contour of the neck and shoulders. I try to keep it up and back.

:bulletred: Can you do different lighting?
Probably not. Shoots take a few hours to do and I'm not going to fuss with the lighting for individual photos. If you want different lighting, draw it and consider it a challenge. It's possible I may do entire shoots with altered lighting in the future.

:bulletred: Why are you wearing nylons in some pics but not in others? Can you not wear nylons? Can you wear nylons?
I will almost always be wearing nylons.

:bulletred: Who are all the people? / Which one is you?
Me, *sakky-attack, is the main person in the gallery and I run the account. I'm the one usually wearing the bodysuit and a headband. Sailor Meguin (~meguin) and Sailor Hedor are my friends from college who are also big Sailor Moon fans. Tuxedo AJ was Meguin's boyfriend, but they are just friends now. Tuxedo Jay (not on DA) is a good friend of me and my husband. Tuxedo Dan and Sailor Kerrie (not on DA) are two of my best friends. Moonlight Dan (not to be confused with Tuxedo Dan) is ~kidchrome, my brother in law.

:bulletred: Will you watch me? Will you be my friend?
Sure, I will be your friend. :D But sorry, I only watch my Mentees and clubs I belong to. If you are interested in being a part of my Mentorship Program, please keep an eye on my journal for open applications.

:bulletred: What do you do with Print Requests?
Print Requests will be considered a mistake and ignored unless you NOTE ME and tell me that you are intentionally requesting a print. I might want to know why you want a print before I consider making one available.

:bulletred: Why is your stock members only? Can I use it if I am not a member?
Stock is members only because I want it to be. You can still use the stock if you are not a member, however you are still required to abide by the Rules.

:bulletred: Has anyone told you that you look kind of like Carrie Fisher?
Yes, and thank you :flirty:

Oh my gosh. I'm so thankful you did the 'Fall N' Shoot' series. I've been feeling rather uncreative recently, in an artist slump. As i was browsing my deviations, I got inspiration from one of your poses! : D The result was this. Not all that epic, but it kinda got me moving along and out of my rut. ^^

Your stock is fantastic. I've added you to my watch, and will be using your poses as reference in my future drawings and paintings. Thanks for making it available!
