TIME FOR A GIFT
After a short period of absence, due to personal issues, I felt I should come back online in DeviantArt and work carefully on some specific requests that I have been receiving for the last few months.

You have asked me the two following questions (presented exactly as stated in your comments and notes):

1. CREATING BRUSHES VECTOR BASED
a. How do you create your brushes? b. Do you use the pen tool? c. Can you make a tutorial on how you made the ornaments pack? d. These are all vectored. How do you do that? e. Which program do you use?

:pointr: Answer: Most of my brushes are vector based. I am using Illustrator  and Photoshop for the creation of the packs and my favorite tool is the Pen Tool.

:bulletblack: And now comes the important part: I will make you a video tutorial from start to finish on how to create something like my ornaments pack, yet till then (as it will take me some time...i am really shy and don't want you to hear my voice XD) i have two gifts. You can download two different video tutorials, the ones that MADE ME start with the pen tool both in Photoshop and Illustrator from here: a. [link] (Photoshop tutorial/ a gift from a friend, so i do not know the creator of the videos T_T) and b. [link] (Illustrator tutorial/ free download from the wonderful Veerle's blog at [link])

2. STOCK PACK TEMPLATE
a. I really like the presentation of your stocks. Did you make it yourself? b. How did you made your template of the stocks? c. Where can i find  such a presentation? d. Can i have your template and use it for my stocks, please? e. Can you make me a presentation?

:pointr: Answer: I made the present stock pack design after this wonderful and honest man `wroth said something like "you really need to change that template...as every stock deserves to be presented in a unique way". I thank him for sharing those thoughts with me and made me think about the importance of the presentation. The template was originally made in Illustrator and then transferred to Photoshop for the final adjustments. You can surely have my presentation by sending me a note BUT you can also read this amazing article [link] by the beloved `znow-white and get some ideas on how to create your own and of'course to download and use two of the most elegant templates that are offered to you for free: a. [link] and b. [link]

:bulletblack: And now comes the important part: I made a Stock Pack Template FOR YOU [link] It contains the illustrator file, the psd file, a jpg preview and all the fonts used. You are allowed to modify it, change it, resize it, crop it, alter it ANY WAY YOU WISH, please feel free to make it suit you and only you.Oh, don't forget that you have to enter your own information in the specific sections instead of mine (insert the username, the date, the way you worked, the dimensions etc).

:heart: Love conquers all indeed. I know that now...

DAILY DEVIATION
First of all i would like to say that i am honored and extremely amazed by your support and positive/constructive comments on my Stock Packs from the very beginning till now.
I do hope that i will keep you satisfied with my stocks and i trully wish to see more and more wonderful deviations of yours using the material provided in my page.

Today i happen to see (actually i read a comment ...O_o) that one of my stocks: [link] has received a Daily Deviation and ...well, it is a huge thing for me, as i never thought i would be rewarded like this.

I want to thank  `znow-white a wonderful Gallery Moderator for the feature and...anyone who may have liked this Stock pack.

Please, feel free to send me notes about stocks YOU would like to see in my gallery.
Make suggestions and if there is something that troubles you concerning my stocks just talk to me. Ok?  We are all a part of a community and we ought to support and help each other.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
:bulletblack: I can't open some of your stocks, they are zipped.
:pointr: I upload big files sometimes and i have to zip them, so you need a Zip/ Rar program such as Winzip/ Winrar/ 7zip.
Here is a link to download 7zip for free: [link] or Winrar from here:[link]
:bulletblack: Your brushes are for PS2 and higher, I only have a previous version of Photoshop, how can I use them in my version?
:pointr: You may use the ABR Viewer: It's a free program that allows you to view .abr brushes and turn them into pngs. Which means, more than likely even people using different programs like Paintshop Pro, Gimp, Elements, etc. can make their own imagestamps with this program. You can download the program from here: [link] Or I can just send you a link with the zip file containing the image pack of the "X" brushes I have created.
:bulletblack: Some of your stock packs are described as RESTRICTED, what does that mean?
:pointr: You are not allowed to use any of these stock material for commercial purposes, ONLY for your personal use. I specify that you MUST BUY the product I was influenced to create my stocks if you want you use it for something beyond "practice".
:bulletblack: How do I make a link to your DeviantART page or the stock deviation I used for my creation?
:pointr: Please, follow the instructions provided by the DeviantART Help Desk: [link]
:bulletblack: Do you take requests?
:pointr: Sometimes, but I can't promise they will be done. Nevertheless I take all requests as suggestions for future work.
:bulletblack: I found your stocks on another site / in someone else's account and they say the stocks belong to them! What do I do?
:pointr: Contact me via note giving the URL or account name and I will deal with the problem directly.
