I'm going to try supplying stock again on a trial basis, so -- at least for now -- Faceless Girl is back!

She is also accepting suggestions for poses, if you have them.

(Wondering why Faceless Girl is Faceless? Read this.)

My STOCK RULES

Please consider :+fav:ing or commenting on images you like.  Not required, but that helps me know what people like and it supports my stock by helping your visitors find me.

You do NOT need to ask permission to use my stock within DeviantArt, but please abide by my rules below.
FAQ #217: What are "Stock and Resources" and can I use them in my submissions?
FAQ #157: Can I use things created by other people in my submissions?

1. Link to Archetype-stock and/or the image URL in the description of your deviation.  This is the most important rule, please don't forget it!!
FAQ #81: How can I create links to other deviants, deviations, or websites?

2. Let me know if you use my stock. If you can find it, please leave your comment on the image you used.  That way I can :+fav: it and possibly feature it in my journal as well.

3. You MAY use my stock for prints without asking.  You may also sell your work using my stocks through other websites, including your personal website without asking.  

4. You MAY use my stock in the creation of CSS for personal journals on MySpace, Neopets, Facebook, etc, but please note somewhere that you used my stock and provide a link back to my stock page.  

4b. You MAY upload your art that includes my stock to MySpace, Facebook, etc.

4c. Please do NOT upload copies of my unmanipulated stock (see #5 and #6) to photobucket or other sites that allow you to collect images you like.  Whether you intend it to or not, that looks like you're claiming the piece as your own.  You are welcome to link to me, though!

5. All deviations using my stock  should look signicantly different from the original stock because of the way they are used or incorporated into your art.  In other words, you may use my stock for photomanips and painting, but not for practicing photography techiques or Photoshop filters (eg changing the filter, contrast, etc.).

5b. You may NOT use my stock for the creation of new stock.  Some people do magnificent photomanips they then redistribute as stock for others to use.  Though most do a great job of noting whose work they used, the artists who then use the new image often don't.  For that reason I'm afraid I've chosen to prohibit the creation of new stock with mine.  Sorry!

6. You may NOT redistribute my stock. Don't claim my resources are yours!  Don't change the filenames, and don't put the image up as if you are the one who took it.  

7. For commercial use outside of DA, you will need permission. Please contact me.  (Commercial use means you want to use the image in a for-profit advertisement or work.)

8. You may not use my stock to create art that portrays
:bulletred: suicide
:bulletred: self-injury (sometimes called self-mutilation or "cutting," though cutting isn't the only form of SI)
:bulletred: harm toward animals
:bulletred: discriminatory or hateful images
FAQ #12: DeviantArt doesn't allow 'Hate Art', 'Hate Speech' or 'Hate Propaganda', what is this?  

I enjoy artistic nudity, so no problems there!
However, be aware that DeviantArt prohibits the creation and posting of "pornographic" material, which they define here:
FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic imagery'; what do you consider this to be?

**BY DOWNLOADING, STORING, OR USING MY STOCK, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ABIDE BY MY RULES AND THE RULES OF DEVIANTART.COM**

If you don't, I will come after you with a bunch of very angry ninjas who disembowel their enemies with plastic sporks.

Finally -- If there's something particular you're looking for, let me know.  I may have it on my hard drive

Thanks so much!

Quick Update

1 min read
Hi everyone --

If you have my stock stored on your computer, please continue to follow the stock rules (you can find them in older journal entries) -- yes, including a note or message.  I'm slowly going through them.

For various reasons, my account has become stagnant.  I lost the desire to post things, and I haven't been able to keep up with your wonderful notes.  So for now I am going to leave up my tutorials -- everything else is in storage for the time being.  Perhaps at some point I will decide to add new material, but until then -- thanks, it's been fun!

People continue to ask me why I don't do stocks that show my face in a way that make me identifiable.  I like to joke that it's because I'm so ugly that the camera would break, but that's not really the reason.

So here are the reasons why, in order of descending importance.

1. I teach, and my employer frowns upon the use of myspace and facebook (frowns upon may not be a strong enough phrase) because of what students do with teachers' likenesses and personal information. In an attempt to preserve my job, I don't show my face on my stock pages -- that is, on images anyone and everyone is invited to manipulate and tell stories about.

In other words, facelessness = plausible deniability.

2. Over time, it's gotten to be sort of a trademark of my stock account, so why ruin it?



3: I think some of the neatest stock on DA is the stock that's faceless -- you can project yourself and your ideas into those images easily.

4. Some people seem to think that they have free license to treat models as if they're (sex) objects without feelings. I'd say that was due to the anonymity of the internet, but the experience was just as bad when I modeled IRL. It's nice to have an attractive outside package, but I always feel a little dirty when some jackass writes something lewd to me because they mistook dA for something besides an ART site. For whatever reason, this doesn't happen as much when I don't show my face.  

Of course, some people may wonder why I bother to do model stock at all if these things are the case, but it's hard not to when my model stock tends to be some of the most popular on my account.  

And people have done some really beautiful things with that stock.

Swords!

Thanks for visiting Archetype-Stock! I'm not able to thank everyone individually, but please know that I notice and appreciate (a lot!) every single :+fav:, :+devwatch:, and comment! These things help me know what types of stock you're using and would like to see more of.

Still looking forward to spring. I got some white sheets to use as a backdrop once the weather improves.  I'd like to redo some of the Anime and Comic Book Heroine images with better light.

I'm also thinking about buying another sword; the problem is, I'd like a daisho (katana + wakizashi set...and if I could add a tanto I'd be ia Very Happy Camper) and it's hard to find wakizashis in anything but wall hangers (read: they fall apart if you try to use them).  Paul Chen's Practical and Practical Plus seem to be pretty much the beginning and end of the selection in an affordable (ha ha) price range, but it's kind of boring looking compared to my rockin' blue katana.  If anyone has suggestions for anything else that won't break the bank, let me know.  I like Musashi stuff, and they have a great rep, but they only make katanas.

If people know they want certain sword shots, either with the katana or the broadsword, let me know and I'll start a list.
