Dear Friends & Stock Users,

It's been a while.

On the one hand, for various reasons including what it meant in my personal life, this account has become un-manageable. :'(
On the other hand, for various reasons including all the wonderful works you create with my stocks, I just cannot deactivate it! :hug:

I will go on not being able to answer to all your comments and notes, but I will try to go on reading all of them.
All the stocks available on this account will remain available, but there will be no update and no new stock upload on Grinmir-stock.

I feel the need for a fresh start as a photographer and here on dA.
All the stock photos I will take in the future will be on a new account WDH-Stock :
:iconwdh-stock:

Cheers!
-Marie

PS : for similar reasons, I have deactivated my art photography account Grinmir. If you want to follow my work, turn to my 500px account 500px.com/whimages

Long time no see...
I haven't been around for a while (again), and I'm afraid I won't be able to be extremely active in the future. So I first thought of shutting down this account.

Then I went randomly through the 800 messages waiting in my inbox, and saw the wonders you created using my stock. So I changed my mind.

I will go on running this account, but in the next months I'm going to do major updates to the content of the gallery, and maybe to the terms of use as well. I really need to make everything lighter to maintain!

For now I don't really know how I will do that, so don't hesitate to tell me : what could I do to make it easier for you to use the stock despite my relative inactivity?

What's new?
As you may have noticed, I have not been active here in dA Stock world for a long time! Due to major changes in my personal life, I had very few time and opportunities to keep this account up to date. Now  everything is stable again and I'm finding a new normal life pace.
I have a huge bunch of notes and comments patiently waiting for an answer in my message center, some of them sent nearly 10 months ago. I'll answer to everyone sooner or later, please forgive me for the delay!
I also decided to begin collecting dA prints of my favourite artworks made from my stock, and gather them in a nice journal I arbitrarily named Friedrich von Buchhausen. For now there are still lots of blank pages, but thanks to you I'm sure it will grow quickly! Here's a sneak peek of it...

(Featured on the open page : Asher of Dorana, by MarahScott)


Angelic Visions
As for other matters, I recently received my copy of AngelaSasser's Angelic Visions book. When I opened it, I stood in awe of the gorgeous, impressive warrior angel Angela drew on the first page...
As a stocker I feel immensely proud of having contributed even just a humble reference photo to such a magical book. My stock has been used many times for gorgeous artworks and in fascinating projects, but it's the first time I can hold something based on it. It may seem awfully materialistic, but it's really an amazing experience! :aww:
And after having read it, this book even proved to mean more to me : these angels are so  beautiful, and everything is so clearly explained (even for a non artist and non english native speaker like me), that it makes me want to try drawing too!
