Have you ever seen a stock photo and immediately felt the need to create based on it?
As both an artist, stock provider, and a Stock & Resources CV, I see a lot of stock images every day. Every now and then I see one particular image and the immediate need to create slams in to me. It overrides the CV and the stock artist in me, and pulls out the need to manip. Has this happened to you? If it has, leave me the thumb of the stock in the comments and I will do a journal feature on them in the near future. They need to be listed as Resources & Stock and follow FAQ #809: What are deviantART's stock image guidelines?

Thanks!
thank you so much for mention
No problem.
Yes! And than the idea got totally mixed up in the "canyons of my mind" (With thanks to the Bonzo Dog Band for that phrase).
Or got lost in the lack of time. Sigh.
So..... not much artworks.
Am painting traditional now, and I love it. However, also time consuming

Oh yes, this happens to me a lot. 
The need to paint is very strong when I see these:

I hope you do get inspired by my stock -- would love to see your painting
I'll let you know when I paint something inspired by your stock.
Oh totally, it happens to me all the time... I would even go as far as to say that more than half of my artworks start out that way!
This one. The classic poses and drape of the fabric made me want to paint one of these...and I did!
For me it is the same! In particular when I saw this stock, so different and unusual, I immediately felt the impulse to create an image with him.
I couldn't resist the challenge of this newspaper.
