I am addicted to the photoshop resources.
Soooo many actions, shapes, patterns and brushes! mostly original designs. Great stock to have.

Anyone else use the deviant art resources?

I've fallen in love with the various "free" textures available there. Have not looked at the brushes, etc yet. smile

It's extremely refreshing when artists support other artists. It improves the community as a whole. smile

there are some really great resources there. i've had a profile for about three years now. you really have to know where to look. You really need to look for brushes that aren't so popular but are really outstanding. Now, I see graphics that use the most popular brushes are  EVERYWHERE.. in ads, photos, billboards, tee designs... At this point I can literally give you the specific names of some of the brushes. SOme of the actions are really good. Experiment is key!

It's good so many people use it. Make sure you spread the word to those who are clueless!

I find the actions fun, some are just shocking, but others are really amazing.
Some serious talent on there...

I like them but I have to carefully search for what I want because a lot of those people, for some odd reason, state you can only put creations done with them on Deviantart.

I never understood that concept.

It's so they can keep track of where you're using the image. Some people don't mind if you use the image but don't want you selling it..because they don't get anything from that.
If you find stock you like and they say for DA only, just note them asking if you can post the image anywhere else and state what sites you'd use them on. Most say yes if you credit them. smile

I love DA's stock and resources!  I have a stock account too, with some photos and textures.  I can almost always find whatever I need on Deviant Art. 

The can only use on DA thing is sort of annoying, but there seems to be a back lash.  There are many stock artists who take pride in allowing their stock to be used elsewhere.  I know of one club that shows stock and stockers that can be used off site: Unrestricted-Stock

Deviantart is a great community composed by artists who help other artists.The resources are really nice, creative and neat for the most part.

If you look some stock, you can check my account on dA: www.meltys.deviantart.com
