Hello everyone!

Six months ago, we started the Unrestricted Use Stock Directory with just a hand full of accounts. With the help of the stock and resources community, the directory has grown and we now have 116 members!

What is Unrestricted Use Stock?

Unrestricted stock can be used for both personal and commercial projects, but it cannot be redistributed as stock. You are not required to obtain permission prior to using the stock off site and the only requirements are that the stock provider be notified and credited.

On deviantART, we typically think of stock being used in digital works or as reference, but there are many other ways that stock can be used, such as:

• Websites, journals and banners
• Literary tags and images
• Advertising, publishing
• Games, packaging, electronic media, etc.

Unrestricted stock images are great resources for these types of projects. The following accounts offer their stock unrestricted. Note: people in the first group offer all of their stock unrestricted and those in the second section have a gallery folder that contains their unrestricted stock.

Accounts With Unrestricted Use Stock Folders

(Before using stock, check the rules on the artist's page to verify that they have not changed. )

Want To Join Us?

If you would like to be added to the directory, please send me a note as follows:

- title your note Unrestricted Account if all of your stock is unrestricted or
- title your note Unrestricted Folder if you use a folder for your unrestricted stock.

Many thanks to all that are participating and I look forward to seeing many new people join us in the near future. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.







^{Note: Restricted or stock with more stringent rules is not less desirable than unrestricted stock. There is a large audience for stock that is only available to people on deviantART or requires permission prior to being used in prints or off site.}
