As a stocker and an artist yes! I honestly think if DA is serious about stock that there needs to be a completely separate section for exclusive stocks.

That would be good! Be hard keeping up with the quailty control but it would be awesome!

I like the idea especially with the subcategories. Generally people just search the whole stock category when they're looking for something so I don't see how it will exclude anyone's stock from being seen. It just neatens things up a little in my opinion.

Dooo eeet

I think that would be a great idea, would help me out a lot and I can see it being useful to other stock artists as well

Yes. It wouldn't help me as a stocker or an artist, but it would be nice for those who do sell/purchase exclusive stock.

Similarly, dA needs a Creative Commons search or gallery.

Yes because I am sick of finding the perfect stock only to find it needs to be bought.. I do buy stock but if I wish to do that I would look in the right places for it ie its own cat.

I think a separate folder would probably be good for people looking to buy stock images but I am not sure they'll every compete with the likes of fotolia
