The Cold of Wynter Stock
The stocks you'll find here are free for you to use, as long as you keep to a few simple rules. If you do not, I'll hunt you down. Promise.
Please read this!!
Credit if you use any of my stocks. Credit me by writing : iconthecoldofwynter : or : devthecoldofwynter : (leave out the spaces), not just by writing my name!

Send me a
note if you use any of my stocks, so I can see what you made of it, I love that!
Never claim the pictures to be yours!

If you decide to make a print out of something, in which you used one of my stocks,
let me know, so we can talk about it.

Do
not use my stock in avatars, DevID's or anything alike

You don't have to ask if you may use my stocks, they're free to use for everyone. Unless the description says something else.

And last but not least: have fun with them
Not keeping to the rules will get your work deleted.
Read this! I have a list of used stock, that this far included everything anyone made out of my stock. Now I'll only add you, if I think your works deserves to be added. Want to know why? Read the below.

I've just read ~
PrincessArwen-Stock's journal (Who got it from ~
serp-stock 's journal ^^), and I totally agree with them both:
I totally adore all the beautiful artwork you make out of my stocks!
But I'm just getting a little tired of seeing my stockphotos submitted after just adjusting the levels and changed the colours, this is NOT the way stockphotos were meant to be used! I mean this would be up to the artist her/him-self to do these things, to adjust the levels, colours and tones such. I mean it doesn't make me very happy to see people submitting my stockphotos (even maybe under the category "photography") just adjusted the things, as said following. It would just be alot easier to grap your own camera and shot some pictures yourself. These are still my pictures! I know I let other people use them for their art work, and I love it - don't get me wrong. It is wonderful to see people using my stockphotos in their manipulations turn it in to something beautiful and making it their "own"! I totally adore that

!
This doesn't mean I only want my stock photo's used in high-leveled art, not at all! Just make something out of it
yourself. No offence for the people that used my stocks this far like this, but just stop taking credit for pictures you didn't take.
Of course it is totally something else when we are talking about using stockphotos as reference for a painting or using stockphotos for a part of a poem.
I would like to hear how you feel about this!

How I don't like to see them used:

How I love to see them used:

Just some examples, there are a lot more of both.

I take
requests, but I don't promise anything. I'll just see what I can do. I won't take any explicit requests, or really impossible ones to shoot. (like: "Could you make a photo posing with you're right hand in the air, balancing on one leg and with your left toe up your nose?") It could take I while before I have the picture you requested, school etc.
