WELCOME TO
ABSTRACT SILENCE


Abstract:
:pointr: Existing only in the mind; separated from embodiment
Silence:
:pointr: The absence of sound; stillness.


Dreams:
:pointr: A series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.
:pointr: A daydream; a reverie.
:pointr: A state of abstraction; a trance.
:pointr: A wild fancy or hope.
:pointr: A condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration.
:pointr: One that is exceptionally gratifying, excellent, or beautiful:

:pointr: We are all about dreams. Dreams haunt us, dreams inspire us. Our group is dedicated to art of the subconscience mind, expressed through dreams and nightmares.

:pointr: Fantasy, Macabre/Horror, & Surreal work is accepted here.

:pointr: Good dreams, bad dreams, twisted dreams, nightmares... No matter the case, we want you to showcase your work here. And in the meantime, make some great friends, see some amazing works of art, and give yourself a place to express yourself.



THE RULES
:pointr: You must be a supporter or dream-like artist, specializing in fantasy, macabre/horror, or surreal art.
:pointr: 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.
:pointr: 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.
:pointr: 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.
:pointr: Voting is only open to group members so the voting stays fair.
:pointr: 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.
:pointr: 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
:pointr: 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!
:pointr: 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.

:pointr: Our latest contest, NORSE MYTHOLOGY, has ended.

Congratulations go out to =Rickbw1 for placing first in this contest.



Due to the fact that =Rickbw1 has been a featured member before, he will nominate a member of the group to be our featured artist for the month of November. He also will be choosing our next contest. He has chosen ~NenoMistique as this month's featured member so a big congrats go out to him. He will have a feature in the Featured Members Archive and have the featured deviation for the month.

Congrats also go out to ~NenoMistique for placing second and to ~Deathpen for placing third, with their respective entries.



Thank you to everyone who participated in this contest. :hug:

:pointr: All contests have prizes. For each contest, the members will vote on their choice for a winner. The winner is that month's featured member, gets a featured deviation for a month, and gets to choose the next contest topic.

:pointr: The new contest, as chosen by =Rickbw1,
