I am slightly frustrated over here! EVerything is just conditions conditions conditions! Lets face it....us photomanipulators are at the mercy of stock supliers. I was prancing around DA today looking for some model stock. I plan on making my personal art site in summer but i have no idea what i am going to post there since very few models or model photographers give permission for off DA use or for commercial use different then prints on DA.I swear...it's like a conspiracy to keep artists here....if you wana use this stock you have to stay on DA! .

SO i am in a dilema...a big one. I also found out today that sxc.hu stock is even more restricted then DA stock and it comes with even more rules and lists that most of us have no idea about and i bet that half of DA is in violation of copyringt when it comes to sxc.hu stock.

Of course i can't blame models and photographers for wanting to protect their work because in the end it's their faces in those pictures and since there is a lot of art ripping going on i'd be paranoid too. But what do i do then? I can't just go and ask them to belive in me blindly and if i do buy the stock they still have rights over it and i can't do whatever my creativity wants with that picture.....not to mention that i'd be out of money . So...what do i do then? Because i am sick of compromissing like this and ristricting my work to match the wishes of everybody.

Somebody said :"well then do your own stock pictures". Unfortunetly that is not as simple as it sounds. I can't do anything till summer cause this is exam year and i am burried up to my neck in work for school. And even so i do not have the necesary face to make model stock......and who the hell will take the pictures and where and with what costumes????

If anybody knows a solution to this problem then please do tell cause i am out of inspiration. Don't recomand me nice stock artists cause i know all of them .

Maybe i'm just tired but right now i am thinking yet again to stop maniping and go back to traditional art cause there you don't have to answer to anybody for your imagination. And still i love both of these styles and i don't wanna give up on either but i am just so..so...AH! Sorry for me ranting like this. It isn't anybody's fault and all those stock supliers are great people just protecting their work but right now it is just sabotage!
