EDIT 3: You guys rock! The goal for the equipment has been reached, and then some! Many thanks to everyone who helped put me in the green. Any extra that has been received will go into the prop pot for costumes:)

Thanks so much to all of you who donated. You've really made my day! I can't wait to put in the order and get to work on some newer, better, well-lit stock! Those of you who donated will get dibs on what's published first, of course.

Happy dance!:excited:



EDIT 2: *Zephyri's donation has put me very near to the mark! I'm sooo close now! Many thanks to this most lovely of ladies & talented artists. :heart:

EDIT: Thanks to the folks who have donated thus far. You guys are so awesome. I have to note that these folks who have donated haven't even asked for exclusive stock. They want to share the poses with all and that is a mark of true kindness:)

There's just $68 to go now! You guys are so amazing for responding so quickly!



First off, many thanks to *rmartin2819 for giving me this idea. He was gracious enough to offer up a donation towards lighting equipment before I even got the idea to ask if anyone was interested in doing so. So this had me wondering if anyone else would like to help out with donations for backdrop and lighting equipment?

I know that times are rough on all right now so I am not expecting much and will not be disappointed one way or the other. However, there are a couple of items I've had my eye on for a long time that I believe will help to improve my stock tenfold should I be able to afford them. My theory is that an improvement in the quality of stock is an improvement for the good of all:)

Backdrop & Lighting Kit - TOTAL: $108
:pointr: AMOUNT SO FAR: $108 of $108! :bounce:



KIT INCLUDES:
:pointr: 2 x photo lights
:pointr: 2 x 30W Photo light bulbs
:pointr: 1 x Photo backdrop stand
:pointr: 2 x White, Black backdrop muslins


How can I help?

What do I get for donating?

You will have my undying gratitude for helping my stock reach the next level. Also, any donation $15 and above has the option of receiving exclusive stock for free. This stock can be your choice of anything from my previous exclusive sets or a set of images made specifically for your eyes only! I will not share them online (unless you wish me to).

The trick is, I won't be doing these sets until I have enough to purchase this lighting kit so I will be able to use something for a backdrop besides sheets thumb-tacked to the wall or my bathroom toilet.

:sun: If you want to be included in my list of patrons, please leave your DA username in the special instructions. Also, don't forget to include your request for exclusive stock, if you'd like any (and have donated $15 or more).


Thank you all for looking:) I hope you will consider donating! Every little bit helps, no matter how small.

Another thing you might do my dear is check out at office resale/resupply shops. Kym actually found a full size reversably projector screen that easily doubles as a backdrop! And that leaves some more cash to go for lighting and such.

:iconladydove7-stock:
I'll definitely have to check those out if time permits! I'm really liking this set I found on ebay though because I can paint my own muslin backdrops and clip them onto the stand. I think it might be possible to build one out of pvc, but I just don't have the time for that (or the skill to build one).:P I think also the biggest thing that makes this set a good deal is the fact it comes with the diffuser umbrellas, stands, lamps, and the stand is adjustable and self-supporting. Really great deal to have all that included! At this point, because this is such a great deal, I would rather try to get the money for a more professional set than stringing it altogether from the DIY stuff I've researched or taking the time I should be working to scrounge warehouses and outlets. I'll try it if I can, but I'd much rather invest in something I know is going to last.

PVC works too- Casi built one for us- that's what we were using for a while. Little short, but definitely better than nothing.

And yeah- having all of it would definitly be helpful. Hey if you get the cash it would be well worth it!

What do you think of head swapping of models for photomanips? 

34%
28 deviants said I'm an artist and I redraw the heads anyways, since I only use the pose and not the figure itself.
14%
12 deviants said I'm a photomanipulator and I don't think head swapping should be a big deal. Stock are just pieces of a bigger whole.
13%
11 deviants said PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!!!
10%
8 deviants said I'm a photomanipulator and when I look for stock, the figure MUST match in all aspects or I simply find another. Head swapping, therefore, is not an issue.
8%
7 deviants said I'm a photomanipulator and I find it a matter of courtesy not to swap heads, though I may alter expressions and clothing slightly.
7%
6 deviants said It's not an issue I really have an opinion on.
6%
5 deviants said I'm a stocker, and while it annoys me somewhat, I understand head-swapping sometimes happens to make the best composition.
4%
3 deviants said I'm a stocker and it offends me that someone would not like ALL of my models' bodies. Shouldn't be done as a matter of courtesy.

3 deviants said I'm a stocker and I have no problem with it at all.
