Hey Guys!

I've opened up this account because I think the fractals I'm doing are perfect as stock resources. If you have a request for anything please feel free to note me with your fractal desires.... Try to be specific in what you want, and I will try to do my best.

Stock Rules:

One. You do not need to ask permission to use my stock. Not even if you're not on DA.
Two. You MUST give me credit and link back to this DA page or link to the deviation you used if you use my fractals. For websites, it is fine if credit is located on a credits page. I am fine with that as long as the credits page is linked to the main page. For as long as the image containing my stock exists on cyberspace in your manip, you must credit me. Failure to do so means you are stealing.
Three. Send me a comment, note, whatever, letting me know you've used my stuff. I want to fav stuff you've made! Websites: I've provided my email address, so just link me to your work!
Four. Most important: Use Them. Abuse Them!!

For an example of something that is possible with these stocks check out this wallpaper: [link]

Here is something ~only-a-rose came up with using the stock: [link]

You can also make: Brushes, Backgrounds, Textures ... anything you want. I don't care, long as ya credit me!

How to Use these in Photoshop 7:
1. Open the layer window
2. Place the fractal image you want on a new non-background layer.
3. While on the fractal layer, find the Layer Blend dropdown menu on the layer window, to the left of the opacity option.
4. Choose either Screen, Difference or Exclusion. Play around. For black backgrounds though, I find screen is the best.

This will take away the black without a whole lot of work.

Print Rules:
You do not need to ask my permission to use my stock in a print, but it would be nice if you sent me one magnet or postcard-sized print of your work when your print is made available. I don't really want anything bigger than that - I have a small apartment, and I would LOVE magnets. My fridge is too bare. I think this is pretty cheap considering you get to sell the prints for life, royalty free. It's not required, just a courtesy.

For DA-Policy sake, you can link back to this journal so that they can see I've given my permission to use my image in your work. For prints, however, if it is not manipulated in some way, I won't really be that happy about it. If you're not sure, go ahead and ask me.

Stock Etiquette:
I'm being pretty lenient here with my time and work so please please follow the rules!

Gracie Artwork:
Artwork you say? Yes, I am actually usually a traditional artist. I've just been playing with fractals lately. =mynti is my main account.

Enjoy!
