Stock Rules - Update July 2015Rules for Stock pictures by Selunia
Update:
Since a lot of you asked about making book covers with my stock and I'm not online that often there is a new rule:
You can use my stock for commercial book covers
Send me a note with the finished version
I want to know the name of the author and book
If you sell more than one book cover using my stock you should consider donating some points to me
For other commercial use please contact me
It's most likely that I will say yes, but I really want to know what my Stock is used for first!
Since I'm not reading my notes that often please contact: seluniaart@gmail.com
Please use this Email only for urgent messages or regarding commercial usage of my stock! Thank you.
I don't want to earn big money with my stock, but I think it's fair to give something back if you earn money using my stock.
Just think about it
