Hi everyone... I got a simple interrogant rounding my mind latelly, and it is related to Digital Art, specificly, Photomanipulations involving Stockphotography and resources provided from DA users.

I'm willing to show my art to people, friends and closer comunities, but i don't feel free to do so since almost every stock artists i've worked with, directly and undirectly, forbitt usage outside DA in their rules, not being so specific about that particular point -some more than others-so...

The question would be... What do they mean by that? "I don't want you to post my stock resources as such outside DA" or "I don't want you to submit any art made with my resources outside DA"...

This all comes from the fact that... almost EVERYTHING is lost here on DA in about 2 seconds after the submition, and sometimes one can't get as much feedback as one wish. In my case, not for commertial porpousses, but artistic growth instead, or just to start beigh noticed. That has to be done by sharing the art in a direct way, and to do so, i need to be sure of what i'm doing -i respect maybe too much author's rights- before even intending to do anything.

Personally, i think that, if one gives propper credits to all the artists involved in the development of the piece showing, there's nothing wrong with it... or is it?
