Description This tutorial will walk you through the step by step process of how to credit your stock providers. I've run across this problem a lot lately ranging from people who truly don't know how to people that are too lazy and claim that they don't know how. I hope this helps those that are willing to learn. I can't stress enough how important it is to credit your stock providers. Failure to give proper credit has led to the loss of some fantastic stock artists. This in turn hurts the artists that use the stock. Please see below for translations of this tutorial.

Update: Thank you so much to namenotrequired for featuring my very first DD!!!

If you would like to include this tutorial in your stock (or group) rules and guidelines you are more than welcome to link the thumb code or link in the rules. All I ask is that you let me know where it's being placed. You may not re-upload and redistribute this tutorial as your own, however.

Normally you don't have to. Usually we're more concerned that you credit and notify after use.

Right after I sent that comment last night, I gave it another shot and it worked fine. Thanks this tut helps a lot, it open my eyes to something, or maybe I am just over thinking it but it looks like tags work on this site?

This is awesome!
Cassy lead me here and I used this in my journal:

A Legitimate Explanation(UPDATED)I thought I should explain the rules behind stock usage
before hell reigns down on me again in one of these contests.
I really don't like upsetting people, and I would rather not
have to lose a friend over someone else's mistakes in judgement.
Every contest I hold that will allow the usage of stocks,
will have the following rule posted:

Here's why:
Some artists on DA have claimed stock that does not belong to them.
Yes, some of it is created by them, but they used the resources of others
to do so, and never credited those resources. If I were to allow such stocks
inside the contests I hold, would you consider that fair to the artists
who actually created the images?
Would you mind if someone took an artwork that you created, and
changed it slightly, uploaded it, and never even mentioned you were
the original artist? Because I would be furious.
Even DA has rules in place for such things.
If I were a rule breaker, could you even trust me?
