WELCOME TO
ABSTRACT SILENCE

The Rules
You must be a supporter or dream-like artist, specializing in fantasy, macabre/horror, or surreal art.

You must send us a note stating your wish to join us, with a link to one of your dream-like works of art. Also state whether your a Day-Dreamer (Fantasy Art), Night Dreamer (Surreal Art), or a Nightmare (Macabre/Horror/Dark Art). The link you send is just an example and won't be submitted unless you request it to be upon approval.

When applying, please put our icon in your journal and add us to your dev watch, and in return (when accepted) we will watch you as well.

I have the right to not submit works that don't fit the topic, and not accept members who don't fit in to the group based on their art styles.

Voting is only open to group members so the voting stays fair.

I have the right to not accept members if I feel their art doesn't reflect the groups topic. Please do not assume you are a member just because you sent a note to apply. If you do not get a welcome note back, I probably didn't feel your art work fit into the group. The same goes with members submitting deviations, some I may feel don't reflect dreams and nightmares, I may not submit.

No arguing or giving me a hard time. I work very hard and the last I need is people giving me crap just because I made a mistake or there was a misunderstanding. I AM NOT PERFECT!!! On the other hand, I am very open to advice or opinions. Use your own judgement to what is right or wrong.
Submission Process
When submitting your art work to us, please send a small description that explains why your piece reflects a dream. Maybe it's something you've dreamed about in the past, a reoccurring dream, a daydream or a nightmare. Tell us about it! It's not a requirement, but it would be something cool to read to go along with your amazing art!

Please remember the rules of submitting only one deviation per note, and one submission per artist per week. Remember to chose your best works that go into the dreams & nightmares topic. I only must enforce this rule now because the group is getting very large. Please try to keep track of when you have submitted. Our submission week is from Monday to Sunday.

The new contest, as chosen by =
LucindaNy,
RULE OF THREE IDThe rule of three is based on the concept that people tend to remember things better when they are grouped into threes. We see evidence in history, science, entertainment, politics, humor and art.
The Book of ThreesArt in ThreesBeing that this is our third anniversary and that we have three types of dreamers (day dreamers, night dreamers and nightmares) in this group I thought this would be a fitting theme.
The winning deviation will be used as our group ID for the year.
I will be accepting entries until May 27th.
Good luck and have fun!
