NATIVE AMERICAN CONTEST IS CLOSED!!CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED!!
Native American Contest
July 5, 2012 thru October 10, 2012
The contest is officially closed and judging will commence tomorrow, October 11th, 2012!
Please give us a week to go through all the entries to decide on a winner.
I am just thrilled with the participation this contest has received!
Someone asked me as I was still uploading the Native American stock if they were actually stock that deviants wanted to see... Judging by the beautiful artwork made from them, both contest entries and not, and by the wonderful feedback we've received, including a Daily Deviation, I think we can safely say "YES, these were stock images deviants wanted to see!"
Starting November 1st we will be hosting another contest! I will post info on it in a couple of weeks. It WILL be holiday themed!!

If you like the stock enough to download it, please it so we'll know what people like!

This is a series that we have been planning for quite a while. It took a lot of time and money to find all of the accessories. We hope you guys will enjoy them.

NOTE Yes, his loincloth has a built-in undergarment. Seth's only 9, I'd never expose him that way.

Yes, he is wearing a real coyote face pelt, no it was not hunted. It lived it's life on a wildlife preserve and died of natural causes. Instead of letting the animal rot it's body was donated to a veterinary hospital but only after the hide was removed. The veterinary school was okay with the hide being removed as they were more interested in using the internal body for a teaching tool.

I'd never own a fur from an animal killed for the sake of killing. So, if you comment rudely about the fur, you will be blocked and your message hidden as you obviously didnt read this.

Just a little FYI for anyone who may possibly say this is racist for a Caucasian to portray a Native American or that this shoot stereotypes portrayal of Native Americans. rolls eyes I am half Native American. My father is a member of the Blackfeet Tribe. However, we were not trying to portray a particular tribe in this shoot. This series is intended to lean more towards a fantasy theme with strong historical influences.

This is raw stock. The only thing done is a conversion from RAW into JPEG and possibly a slight crop if light stands or cords got in frame.

Model: ~SethMJones
Costume/MUA: ~SewfulCreations

If you wish to donate to our stock costume & prop fund you will receive up to 10 model photos of your direction of Seth with a $10 or more donation. These will be exclusive to you, unless you wish to release them for others to use. Regular stock rules will apply.

EDIT: Wow! Thank you so much for the DD! I'm in shock, was totally not expecting this! Thank you to ~CourtneyMcFadden for the suggestion and to ^Elandria for the feature; we sincerely appreciate it!

well actually, your problem was saying "we were not trying to portray a particular tribe"
Where do native stereotypes come from? generalizations of natives, blanketting them and shortening the descriptions, and in most if not all cases of native stereotypes (be they positive or negative) have a negative impact on the indigenous community. It is not okay to perpetuate these especially by labelling your work as fantasy and fiction, as if that is all we shall ever be.

i think you might have had a stronger piece had it any meaning whatsoever. but you did say that you did not identify as a blackfoot. by "meaning" i mean maybe it would have been a better choice to explore your blackfoot roots, find out what their traditional dress was. Who knows, maybe you might have had less success because so many people are keen to play upon old indian stereotypes. or maybe the audience would have been more inquisitive about a piece that had an actual history, not a hollywood manufactured image.

"It is not okay to perpetuate these especially by labelling your work as fantasy and fiction, as if that is all we shall ever be."

Sure it is. Honestly no one else has mentioned anything about it and your comments offend me. If you do not like something, then move on. It really is THAT simple. This is fantasy because we purposely wanted avoid singling out any particular group of people for the purpose of not offending overly sensitive people. Heck, if you could see the keywords I used you would see that we list it as "Amazonian, primitive, fantasy, fictional, Lord of the Flies, native, indigenous, etc, etc, etc"... ad nauseum. This series has been online for over a year and in that time we have had numerous Indigenous, Native American, American Indian, whatever politically correct term suits your fancy, leave positive comments on this and all 70 photos. If you are so easily offended by a 10 year old boy playing dress-up then I sincerely suggest you stay off deviantART as just like the name says, deviant, you will find a lot of things here, many of which will offend you.

Your images of the native american boy are wonderful! I would love to use them as basis for my drawings and photo-manips. Thank you

=DamselStock Dec 31, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Thank you. I am afraid that I cannot allow his images to be used to produce art that depicts torture or any kind of bondage especially since many of your pieces have an underlying sexual tone. He is a minor and that is very much illegal. Good luck with your art.
