As a stock art resource provider, how can I be of help in regards of stock art resource usage in prints?

If you are the owner of a deviantART account where you provide stock art resources such as stock photos, textures, brushes, fonts and similar materials, the following would be a great help for the artists using your resources and the print quality control staff reviewing print submission using such materials:

You may:

  • Submit your work under a Creative Commons License, allowing commercial use and modification of your work

  • Clearly state your rules regarding the use of your resources in deviantART prints or general commercial use in your journal and/or the individual resource deviations themselves

  • Feel free to give a blanket deviantART print permission if you allow deviantART users to use your resources in prints without restriction. One such statement's wording that is popular amongst resource providers reads as follows:
    "I hereby grant all DeviantArtists permission to use my stock in any and all Deviant Prints without restriction."

  • Make use of our sample permissions document, which you can download HERE.

  • Additionally send such blanket deviantART print permission with the mentioning of the account it applies to to prints-permission@deviantart.com
