Let's Face It - Stock Portraits

When someone asks you if you've seen the portrait stock galleries do you immediately curl into a ball, start rocking back and forth and whimper like a baby?

Are you too scared to click 'browse' in the portraits section? Or just fed up spending hours searching through masses of the same photo trying to find the one that stands out and is different?

Want stock that is high quality? Creative? Makes the artistic senses all tingly?

Fear not! I've done the searching for you! Take a look below and you'll be singing the praises of portraits in no time too! We'll work on your portrait-phobia issues in later editions

No webcams in this article, baby! All pure stocky goodness for artists to swoon and drool over.


FEMALE PORTRAITS:

After searching the Female Portrait stock gallery it has becoming blindingly obvious that girls like their underwear. A whole lot. And they like showing others just as much

After I composed myself long enough to move the spork away from my eyes I managed to find you some of the diamonds in the rough from this sadly overlooked category of stock

But its not just about the girls. Sure, we wear more make-up and put lots of fancy things like leaves and sparkly, shiny things in our hair... but what about the boys?
Well, it turns out 90% of men posting to the stock gallery own gas masks and/or sharp weapons... and show them off a whole lot too. (I'm seeing a trend here...)

That doesn't mean we don't have some awesome male stockers on dA though! Check below to see some of the stunners you can find by browsing through the male portrait stock category.
