Wow! It's been forever everyone! It's been a difficult road but Allison and I are finally graduating university

We have three more days of classes and three weeks of exams and then we will be finished!!!

As you may have noticed, I have begun uploading some images (most are from months ago). We have also planned a celebratory stock shoot for the end of the week

AND we've decided to host a contest!!! Read details below

Hope you're all having a wonderful week

I was hoping it would not have to come to this, however,
our stock may no longer be used off site without our permission. This is due to
many artists using our stock and not crediting or notifying us of its use. If you want to use something off of DeviantArt, you must contact us and receive permission first. If I find that you have not followed this rule, I will be doing what I can to have the picture removed.
On the note of crediting.
I've noticed that I will be browsing DA, answering comments etc. and I come across a deviation that has used my stock but that I was never notified of. Out of curiosity, I searched DA for squaredstock (because the b- turns up too many unrelated images) and I found over 100 deviations using my stock that I had never seen. Most of the artists had credited me in the description, however, they had not notified me of the stock use. I have this notification rule because I want to keep track of my stock but also because I want to see what has been created! That was why I started this account, to see what others would do with my images. Please, if you use my stock, credit this account and
notify me.
Also, I've noticed that some deviants are crediting ~
SquaredStock instead of *
B-SquaredStock It's an easy mistake to make but please check to make sure that you have notified and credited the correct stock provider

Thank You to everyone who has favoured, commented, and watched us. Thank you all so much for the support, you guys are great

Stock Rules
1. You do not need to ask us to use our stock.
2. Credit this account in the deviation description.
3. Send us a link to your creation through either a note or a comment.
4. If you adhere to these rules, then you may use our stock in DeviantArt prints.
5.

No off site use without permission from me first!
6. If you use our stock outside of DeviantArt you still have to follow the rules for using our stock.
7. You may not redistribute our stock in any way!
8. I cannot believe that I even have to say this but just changing the colour/contrast/saturation of stock is not acceptable! Have some creativity people!!
9. Commercial use will only be granted on a person to person basis. If you want to use our stock commercially, you must contact and receive permission from us first.
10. If we have an image in a pack that you would like to have but you don't want to or can't download the large .zip file, send us a note saying which image you would like with an email address and we will send the image to you.
