Thanks to melodierivers , the Federation of Pangaea now has an official Pangaean royalty-free stock image provider.
Mélodie and her art group Elysian Mark, has given the Ministry of Culture the use for royalty-free stock library HermitCrabStock:

Any artist can now have access to a truly free, commercial-use enabled, image stock provider; it also serves as a memorial for a kind and generous French artist, whom was friend with Mélodie until her passing.

The story:
HermitCrabStock was a DeviantArt stock provider owned by French artist Anne Wipf.
On the 17th of April, after a twenty-year long battle against breast cancer, Anne announced to the art community that she had entered the final stage and that her time was running out. As a result, she announced that all of her stocks would be released for free and unrestricted/commercial use, which represents a culmination of many years of hard work.
Shortly after, Anne gave written permission to Elysian Mark to curator a website where her hard work would remain available for all artists and designers long after DeviantArt would close her stock account.
With this website, Elysian Mark is honoured to keep her wish up and going, and to continue her generosity and kindness.
May her memory live on in many arts to come.
