Welcome to part 2 of this awesome contest that seeks to bring the Stock & Resources and Artisan Crafts galleries together. On part 1 the S&R guys created beautiful images for you to use and get inspired by. We want to invite everyone to craft, so there will be novice and intermediate/advanced prizes. We hope that you will join the fun!

The concept

As crafters we often require references, but we don't always remember that DA has a whole gallery full of resources at our disposal. Need to sculpt a skull? Decide a background for that cabochon? Find the perfect action pose? Figure out the parts of a cat's leg? The S&R people got you covered, with enough references and resources for your every need! This contest seeks to encourage the use of stock and resources by crafters.

The rules

• All entries must be submitted between August 1st and 31st. One entry per deviant.
  
• Make a craft using one or more of the stock images provided for this contest. You don't need to use the exact image, but the inspiration must be clear. Example: you don't have to reproduce the same cat in your craft, but you can use the pose for your own idea. Or you don't have to use that exact same butterfly, but you can get inspired by the colors and patterns.
  
• Please read the rules established by each stock provider and respect them. All stock must be properly credited.
  
• The entries must be original and created for this contest. They can't be submitted to another contest or challenge.
• In the comment section write down that the entry was made for this contest and add a link to this journal.

The deadline

All entries must be submitted before August 31st to the correct folder in CRArtisanCrafts

The judges

All entries will be judged by Cassy-Blue, CelticStrm-Stock, mercurycode, Talty, & pinkythepink. They will choose one winner for each category based on use of the stock image, creativity, skills and photography. Photos don't have to be perfect (we know it's hard!) but please read this article about crafting photography.
