Rules

Over the last week and a half, the administrators have discussed, addressed, and argued over the rules Arts-Shadow should use.

As a tentative list that is subject to change the rules read as following:

:bulletblack: Submissions are limited to fourteen times a week.

:bulletblue: Deviations submitted to the featured folder are subjected to a 3-person vote decided by the administrators.

:bulletred: The group has decided to continue with the weekly prompts as long as members are submitting, if less than three members submit for more than three weeks in row, the idea will be taken into to consideration for removal.

:bulletpurple: The critique folder is now open, however it is considered part of the daily limit and as such can only have two submissions per deviant per day. There is also a need for more people on the critique team, if interested send a note to LightOverpowers58, the team leader.

:bulletorange: There is absolutely no hentai, porn, smut related material allowed in this group. However, mature deviations will be taken into consideration if they do not involve the restrictions mentioned above.

:bulletpink: The members of Arts-Shadow are highly appreciated and the adminstrators all wish you the best of luck.

The administrators to note if you have any questions, comments, or concerns are primarily TheAmericanRealist and LightOverpowers58 however, all of them are available, just allow time for a suitable reply and they will answer any questions shortly.
And you must obey your king. Mwhahahahahahahahahahaa

Short Shorties
Uncle Jokes...Serinda rolled her eyes as she flounced out the school doors--"Thanks a LOT, Mom," she groaned inwardly, for her Uncle Lloyd was waiting to pick her up in his lime green 1956 Packard. Don't beep the horn please do NOT beep the horn oh God don't let him---AHH-OOOOOGAH!!!"OVER HERE, Serindy-Mindy!" Uncle Lloyd shouted jovially, exposing the fifteen year old's hated childhood nickname to everyone within earshot; her face crimson, Serinda climbed into the passenger seat, slamming the door. "Yikes! Go easy on old Betsy," chuckled Uncle Lloyd, revving the engine. "Have a bad day, sweetie?""Just DRIVE," his niece snarled through clenched teeth, and he peeled out with all the devil-may-care zest of the bachelor uncle who has refused to grow up."Knock-knock," grinned Uncle Lloyd, as they drove along; tight-lipped, Serinda gazed sullenly out the window. "Knock-knock," Uncle Lloyd repeated in his most winning tones--"Who's there!" his niece snapped."Orange!" "No, Uncle Lloyd! I'm not five any more! Why did Mom send you to pick me up?""Two very good reasons, my pet...but I won't tell you any of them unless you drop that attitude," he winked at her. "Come on, Serinda--we'll go get ice cream if you're nice to your poor old Unk!" Serinda sighed; "Fine...what's the first reason?""Your mom's locked in the basement." Serinda rolled her eyes. "Good one, Uncle Lloyd!""Scout's honor! She's hog-tied like a calf at a rodeo, blissfully breathing the residual fumes of that chloroform-soaked pad I clamped over her face," Uncle Lloyd chortled, turning left on 5th and Lexington--Serinda's annoyed frown took a more anxious grimace. "You're going the wrong way..." "Ice cream, remember? Don't forget the second reason," Uncle Lloyd winked, pressing the automatic locks on all the doors with a sudden, vicious snap. Serinda stared at him, her face turning pale beneath the unneeded layers of teen makeup. "Stop it, Uncle Lloyd! I'm too old for Halloween pranks!" "Ask me the second reason I came to get you," said Uncle Lloyd, in a tone of voice utterly devoid of avuncular jollity; Serinda swallowed hard as they drove straight past the ice cream shoppe, but said nothing."ASK ME!!!" he roared, and she sobbed in panic: "Okay, okay!--what's the second reason?" Uncle Lloyd smiled and winked. "I'm not really your uncle...your mom made that up when you were little, so you wouldn't ask awkward questions, and I played along, for your sake...I always knew you were going to grow up just like her...I've waited a long time for this day, Serindy-Mindy! "Now, let's go home and get your mom out of that basement..." "How was school, dear? Serinda!" her mother exclaimed, as her daughter slammed into her, hugging her frantically; Serinda's mom was most definitely not tied up in the basement, but was in the kitchen, whipping up a special Halloween dinner. "Mom, call the cops! Quick, before he gets in here--AAH!" Serinda screamed as Uncle Lloyd burst inside, laughing maniacally and waving a rubber axe; he and Serinda's mother doubled over hysterically as the terrified teen ran headlong out of the room. "LLOYD!! What have you been telling her, THIS time!?""Oh, you know, Sis...Uncle Jokes," he winked.

guys i'm so sorry if your submissions haven't been getting accepted but my computer crashed. I'm at the library right now, and my computers in repairs. I'll be switching back to auto acceptance until its fixed . SORRRRRRRRRRRY TT.TT


Andrea1981G is this month's feature and this groups first feature. Andrea1981G is fractal artwork designer who was just joined Deviantart within the last year. All her pieces have subtle beauty that can only be created by her and she deserves to be noticed. She is diligent submitter to the group and has made hundreds of beautiful pieces. Here are a few examples to get you interested:

impressive glass earth by Andrea1981G floor with colourful lights by Andrea1981G colourful snowflake by Andrea1981G plates with black rings by Andrea1981G fantasy bluebrown place by Andrea1981G

And besides  showcasing beautiful artwork ,we also interviewed her for the group feature


1. What kind of art do you usually do? What medium/computer program do you use for it?
I like to create fractals, because it makes a lot of fun. I use Jwildfire at the moment .


2. How long have you been doing fractal artworks?
I began to create them on August 2010, my frist program was Mandelbulber at this time.


3. Who or what started your artistry and why?
I have searched on google for 3D fractals, I found them at this time interesting, so I have interest to try it out too.


4. How do you find inspiration when you work?
At the moment I like the colourful shiny fractals from JWildfire very much, it is very interesting to find new forms and play around with the different formulas, so I can't stop doing them sometimes

5. Do you consider your craft difficult? If so, what makes it hard?
Sometimes it is difficult to find good formula combinations, but when I have find them it is easy to make lots of diffent versions from them.

6. Which artwork of yours do you consider your best and why?
I have created most Mandelbulb 3D works and since 6 month from JWildfire. The fractals from JWildfire are more fun for me, because they have so lively colors.

7. Is there someone in Deviant Art you idolize? Who is it and what is your favorite work from this artist?
I have no favorite artist, there are so many people which are making nice fractals.

8. Other than making art, what can you consider your other hobbies?
My other hobbies/interest is: collect stamps, weather, fire department, here music

ANNOUNCEMENT:
This group and another that are both in my possession both are lacking in administrator so if anyone would like a position in group administrator please note me :D.

Literature
The Chasing
sweat turns to blood as the pressures rise
architectures crumble beneath the collapsing skies
they say there's beauty in destruction
but they have never been destroyed
they say there's beauty in distortion
but they are not distorted, they are only blind
and i've wasted too many nights
dancing with a chronic predator
drinking from toxic reservoirs
drowning in the caustic metaphors
you've got such an ironic fetish for
a cannibalistic appetite hiding behind that bolshevik lipstick smile
i know so well
you won't sink your teeth into my weathered flesh so easily this time
i know you well
i left my bloodstained kingdom on your doorstep
take this cup from me, take the crown, i forfeit

Literature
Ricotta
You're dazzling!
like rearlights
well, if I squint my eyes
like I used to
from the back of streetcars,
when I was three foot
tall?
Or like that show we watched
in my early summers
in your parent's bedroom
about ghosts,
you're one,
you know.
The season returns
every month
and darling dahlias
bloom,
And fragrant are
the bottlebrushes
of
so
li
tude.
But you were
a paper rose
for an evening
of ennui,
I wonder where we
left origami
when we
grew up.
At times I think
it's a vain pursuit
finding love
and stuff,
stuff they sell
all over the place,
but love
is out of stock.
Perhaps I'm wrong,
but you were right
just right
for us.
Desserts are served
in the end
because,
they're the best,
I s'spose.
The veal, and venison
and lamb in vinegar,
are in the freezer
my dear,
How quaint and sweet
it was to eat
my ice cream
on a wintry night.

Literature
Dear Rain
These drops from heaven
Falling on me and my brethren
Healing me, calming my mourning cry
These drops from heaven, falling from the abode high
Oh rain falling, please stay
Be my company at least for today
Shine upon me I pray
Leave not this romantist, filled with dismay
Revision 19 March 2013: This is trying to take the same theme of this poem and writing it from a different perspective.
tears of heaven rain on this domain
as my brethren and I am calmed
whilst scars and wounds of a past so profane
Is shed away by Nature's psalm
Lo! Dear Rain, bless your nobility
for your aid, when I needed thee
Subdue me in your sweet embrace
lest I forget your enshrining grace
