This Account: Basic Rundown

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 15, 2008, 2:02 AM
First and foremost, I'd just like to clarify that anything and everything posted within this account is Copyright Tahnee Elizabeth Brown. This account was originally going to be used as a back up account for =Katze-Cat-KuroNeko, but it has since become my stock account for reference images.

Anything and everything posted to this account will be of me, or my friends, all of whom will be over the age of eighteen, for pose reference only. Photos CAN be used as stock, but only if I have given you written permission through private notes first, and only to the person who asks me. And this is a lenient rule, so it shouldn't be that hard to ask if I'll always say yes. All I will ever ask in return is a link back to the set you used or referenced.

The purpose of this account is to give deviants the poses they are looking for in order to create their own works of art. All photos are to help you with your anatomy when drawing the human form, but I discourage the use of tracing to further your skills. If you want to become a greater artist, you must study real life, but draw it as your eyes see it. This is how you become yourself in art. Studying another artist's art will teach you to become that artist, not yourself, but to study real life, and the true human form as nature provided it will guide you to your own path, and style.

The layout of this account will be as follows;

I will create sets that will feature at least 8 photos of a single pose. One from each basic angle; front, behind, left, right, 3/4 left, 3/4 right, 3/4 behind left, and 3/4 behind right. One might also request more angles, such as 3/4 above right or other similar angles of the same pose after the initial set has been released if so desired. Whenever possible, pure above, and near pure below will also be provided.

Separate hand and foot reference will also be included (or a link to the set itself in the description) if I feel adequate foot or hand posing could not be achieved in a certain set. Example; Say the set is of someone rising to heaven, like an angel or the like, but because I am not a ballerina, my feet could not take on the action of not supporting my weight, therefore they are bent instead of being straight. I would then link to a foot set that would have my feet in perfect correlation to the aforementioned set. It would almost be a copy and paste situation if you will (Though I will not be doing that, for it would ruin the feel of the piece itself. You would have to do that yourself in your drawing. It's not that hard to do. You're just using two reference pictures for the same drawing. Simple enough).

After a certain number of sets have been uploaded, I will offer custom sets at the cost of $3 US, with $2 US extra angles as an option. For example; Say you need someone stabbing themselves in the heart with a dagger from a bird's eye 3/4 left behind view, with their head falling to the right. The pose itself would be $3 US, and because you asked for that specific angle, the total would be $5 US, but you would receive a total of 9 pictures because a set automatically comes with 8 set angles. I would then release the set to the public without the ninth angle unless the commissioner specifically requests that I release it. I'd prefer to release it so that the commissioner can link back to the initial reference photograph, but linking to the set that it came from would be satisfactory. Also, you may commission a new angle to an old set for only $1 US. I take paypal only, but a subscription to this account, or to my main, =Katze-Cat-KuroNeko, would also suffice.

All un-commissioned sets will feature me (or another model that I would feature) in skin tight undergarments so that no curve of the body is obstructed. If clothing references are needed and cannot be found elsewhere, a commissioner can ask that I (or the model) be wearing specific articles for an additional fee of $2 US if I (or the model) already own the type of clothes requested. However, be forewarned that if we do not own anything of the type that you are looking for, but you desperately need a reference for that specific article, I would have to ask that you reimburse me for any purchases made to fulfill your commission as payment for said commisson.

Props will be used, and may also be suggested. In my current possession I have a set of three daggers, all a different length, a bokken (wooden sparring sword), and several different sized books. Anything from a soda can, to a flashlight can be suggested, as well as brooms and even kitchen utensils, just keep in mind that some things might not be possible for various reasons, most likely being I'm not in possession of it.

Pose sets may also be suggested, if you do not wish to or can not pay for a specific set. I will remember the suggestion, but it will not be high priority unlike payed sets will be.

In addition, I'd like it to be said now that facial expressions will NOT be shot for this account. I'm not very good at holding facial poses for longer than a second, so it would be useless to try and capture anything significant. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

If anything else comes to mind at a later date, I shall edit this journal, or add a new one with the pertinent information.

You can tell a lot about a man when he's staring down the barrel of a gun, the look in his eyes tells you what kinda life he lived....and if he regrets it.
