"Boris & Patricia" A Novel by M.M. Smith

A friend of mine recently published her very first novel, titled "Boris & Patricia: From the Chronicles of Sine Nomine" , and I was honoured to have been able to create a cover for it. The synopsis reads:

"It's 18th century London, and Russian Wampyr Boris Alexeyev is returning to the home of the McCabe’s for another meal and another victim. But instead of finding easy prey, the 800-year-old vampire finds Patricia, the woman of his dreams, stake in hand.
Taking a fresh direction in a familiar genre, their tale tells of divergent worlds coming together in a story that is frightening, funny, and, in the end, heartwarming.

M. M. Smith’s "Boris and Patricia" weaves an intricate tapestry of cultures, memorable and eccentric characters, and real-world events that will leave captivated readers
hungry for more.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The first in the anticipated Siné Nominé Chronicles will not disappoint as it throws you into an extraordinary world, and beckons you to sink your teeth in."

The book is available for purchase from Createspace [link] and Amazon.com [link]

Credit for the stock I used to create the above banner, and the cover from which it came, can be found in my artist statement on the original deviation here:

:star: You MUST be an active member of Deviant Art if you wish to use our stock.

:bulletred: Our non-model stock may be used in commercial projects, but ONLY if all the rules as set out in this journal are followed! If you would like to use our model stock, please send us a note. **Please see additional note below under "Print Permission".

:bulletgreen: You may NOT upload any deviations using our stock as photography. They are our photographs, remember?

:bulletblue: You may upload your finished work off site e.g. Facebook etc., but ONLY if the piece is ALSO uploaded to Deviant Art. Please remember that the FREE stock we provide is for the EXCLUSIVE use of members of Deviant Art, and it is only fair that you display your work here, and give us due credit for the resource we've provided. In short, you are not permitted to upload it ANYWHERE unless it is also displayed on this site!

:bulletpink: Please don't use our stock for RACIST/POLITICAL/DEROGATORY work.

:bulletpink: Our stock does not belong in the public domain! The licence we extend for use is for DA members only!!! In other words~ do NOT repost our unedited stock ANYWHERE! :stab:

Pre-made Backgrounds:


:bulletyellow: If you would like to use any of our non-model stock to create a pre-made background, you may. However, the same rules will apply to these as to all other usage of our stock~ and you MUST put some effort into it. In other words, it isn't enough to just add a texture, or change the colour balance! And NO~ you may NOT turn any item of our stock into any other form of stock! e.g. clear-cut stock. png's etc..


Google and the Use of Celebrity (photographic) images:


:bulletred: Don't do it! Unless you took the photo of your favourite celebrity, then the image belongs to the photographer, NOT YOU!!! Which means, it isn't legitimate stock, and you therefore have no permission to use it. As for the vague-at-best "fair use" excuse... we seriously don't give a fig.

:bulletred: Be advised that images taken from google or any other search site is NOT valid stock.   DO NOT use our stock in conjunction with images that you have no rights to!


Equine Artists:


When crediting, you MUST provide links to the stock you used in your ARTIST'S STATEMENT! Whilst we do appreciate that most of you put our URL on your image, no one will be able to find our stock if they wish to use it themselves, or be able to verify its authenticity as a stock image.



:daprints: Print Permission:




:bulletyellow: WE HEREBY GRANT ALL DEVIANT ARTISTS PERMISSION TO USE OUR STOCK IN DEVIANT ART PRINTS.

:love: Welcome to *PixellyPerfectStock! :love:

We're both habitual shutterbugs and users of stock, so we figured we ought to share some of our own photographic plunder with our fellow deviants!

We have many, many images to share- please give us some time to upload them. Add us to your :+devwatch: so that you'll know when we have new offerings! We hope you find our stock interesting, useful and inspiring.

Also~ should you find a stock image that you like, but is not quite the right perspective, or whatever, let us know! More often than not, we only upload one or two shots from each photoshoot, so chances are, we may have another that may suit you better! :D

Enjoy and get creating!

Cheers!
Monica and Jayde :heart:

Your Welcome. I've been plotting on one of your graveyard stocks as well; for both a manipulation and maybe another Premade background. Just not sure when??? I'll get to it, but I'll get you a link when I'm done :D
