For the furture: Stock is not equivocated to "anyone can use." Especially on DeviantArt. The artist will usually post something on their page that will give rules to how they allow their pictures to be used. The "Stock / Reference" cache is rather misleading because the picture you used was from a reference to how they did it. I think that DeviantArt should separate the two, but that's just my personal view. In the end, if you're unsure and the artist doesn't have any rules posted up, don't simply assume that because it's stock that it's available for everyone. Get in touch with the artist. Generally if it is stock, they will give the green light, but not all artists are that way.

Just for the future.
