Art is not just one style. How many artists that are famous now had their work not accepted? Any new style is often rejected. Here it is accepted. Please only submit your best work. We do require high quality work. Remember to read the rules and submit to the correct folder. If you aren't sure then read the description inside each folder. Thanks!




When  you go out to paint, try to forget what objects are in front of you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever... Remember that every leaf on the tree is as important as the features of your model.

The Brotherhood Warm-Up Match  Title: The Brotherhood Warm-Up Match
By: LegendaryWriter
----------------------------------------------------------

There were two young men walking in the forest of Bridas to a clearing where they will commence their challenge. They are both related as brothers who share the last name Arkaman by blood. The brothers are both swordsmen sharing a little bit of rivalry towards each other in a sibling rivalry.

The older brother had long hair-black as ebony, eyes blue as sapphire, white and black long sleeved armored tunic, black leather gloves, red cape, black pants and dark leather boots. He goes by the name, Vincent.

The Radish in the Desert Chapter One     The Radish in the Desert
        By Allan Selberg
   Chapter one
When you walk through the desert for as long as I have, thought and purpose begins to fade away. Like the white lines on the highway, you're hypnotized by the constant visual redundancy. Your field of vision is dominated by the sight of sand, cacti, and rocks. But the image that really becomes burned into your conscious is the sight of the horizon expanding as the ground seemingly moves towards you. You become so bored that it actually excites you. The only external thing stimulating your mind is the unrelenting heat of the sun. The heat of the desert is cruel and mercThe Radish in the Desert Chapter One by ~extremeeXrement1

Prose
Cobwebs of the Soul    She picks the apples in orchard, in the garden of her mind. And they are red as mix of wine and blood in the crystal glass left for no one, under the light of an early twilight somewhere on the edge of the world. The black branches of trees sway toward her in slow wind, like the fingers of dead lovers, gentle and dry, quiet reminiscence of some other days, gone by. And the gray, dry grass bows while she walks.

   Cobwebs of the past is a name of the garden and she thinks of it, walking over the silver lake with water bitter and salty, where every drop is a memory and pain, every desire a crooked reflection of her Cobwebs of the Soul by *Maylar
When Everything Met No One I wasn't waiting for much.  I kicked the dirt and chewed my lip, I may have even paused, but I wouldn't wait for nothing or no one.

And the clarity comes in sparse fragments.  Cursed to glimpse the grin of an ever-grinning ghost.  Those taffy lips tensing muscle beneath sweet, sweet moisture.

I dream when I don't notice I'm sleeping.

With all the little pieces, unattainable moments clogging my consciousness with vivid detail.

Stand Up And Do Something. by ~billm2n
Christmas Trees and Stolichnaya It's relatively sluggish, awkward as hell.  And lately she's been spending just way too much time with herself.  Salt-water baths and so many fuckin' Christmas lists it makes me wanna puke.  And I've never been a fan of intentional purging but all this holiday cheer is so exhaustingly nauseating that maybe even a mild case of bulimia might release some pressure.

I gulped Stolichnaya straight from the spout, pissing snide remarks about tradition and nostalgia.  And she may have been the Russian princess, but me, I was the ice queen.  I was poison envisioned as beauty.  My frosty glanChristmas Trees and Stolichnaya by *EmaciatedandEpitaphs

The Enemy Within The Enemy Within:

I have nothing that I can give
Cause I was never taught to live
How do I know what is pain?
I disappear into the rain

Carry me on angel's arms
Don't let me ever come to harm
The blade will cut into my skin
I face the enemy within...

And I feel him, and I feel him cry
And I feel him, and I feel him cry

Dear Enemy
What do you want from me?
Take me slowly
Are you the man I'm meant be?
Dear Enemy...

Suddenly the lights go out
I open up and try to shout
Gasping out my final cry
Is this how I'm meant to die?

Lead me home once again
Let me face this world and then-
I will try to get control

Sanctified "Sanctified"

Can you understand exactly how I feel?

Bleeding so misleading while trying to conceal

The scars that have healed but some forever remain

Deep into my brain; the worst emotional pain

My four walls have seen the life I really lead

Things that would blow my reputation out of the sea

Things that would make my mother shake her head

And wonder what kind of a son she raised instead

There have been many nights where I have lost hope

And so I write down my feelings as a means to cope

And turn it into poetry for the masses to consume

While I continue losing blood inside my room

I'm always losing blood; everyday of our lives

WSanctified by *BleedTheDream180
The Great Drake He rose from the ground as the very earth split in a series of jagged scars
Molten lava would burst from these wounds, as his wings eclisped the shimmering stars...
The Great Drake Serogar, once laid to rest in the warm womb of Gaia
Had once again awakened, to discipline those who had earned his ire.

Humans and Dragons were killing each other, senselessly bathing in the coldest of blood
Yet all their efforts amounted to nothing and opened the gates for a terrible flood...
For in the realms of the Nether; where the creatures drank of the dark well of Midnight
A rift had been torn of violence and hatred, spawning the children of Blight.

Lonely Night Poetry: Vol. 1 lonely night poems vol. 1

black tea:
 decaf pale and cold
 far from icy
 hardly worth a superlative
silent screens, muffled keys
that miss their clacking kin – brazen and lead-enriched,
like Beethoven chained to ribbons.

too late for music, for soundwaves to concertine the air and make nights worth waiting out to their meager midmay mornings
hell, the headphones work but there's a bug in the silicone valleys
so no Murphys tonight, no stories
from the city

crude verse in pretentious font
how dare you pretent?

Silly little bear by *Tap-Photo-and-Co
P is for Pony P is for pony F is for friends, but M is for magic where fun never ends.

why is this pony waring a dress, why is she singing that friendship is best?

Just watch them dance and sing and fly, some ponies have wings and some are quite shy.

why I once saw a pony so colorful and cool, she beat up a dragon with hind hoofs and a stool.

but in all of Equestria there stands one above the rest, her name is Twilight Sparkle and she's simply the best.P is for Pony by *Jrakob
The Rainbow Crayon Mind i live in a big blue house in a little red town with light green walls and nauseous purple skies. i move my mouth with my fingers because sometimes it's hard to do it on my own. the roof over my head is made of burnt toast and i'm in love-love with the taste of it's crumbs.

sometimes i stop breathing so i hear silence, only it never works 'cause i always fall asleep too fast to remember how to listen. when i meet people i color in their names with crayons and feed watermelon seeds to their egos (some still soaked in juice, if they're real lucky).

The Ghost In The Classroom The Ghost In the Classroom

I sit in Miss Hatchet's class today,
My knees shake in an unpleasant way.
The clock sharply wails as it strikes eight,
All our knees shake awaiting our fate.
Our ghost peeks out if the melting clock
The class is so still and no one talks.
Time to choose someone to tease all day,
And he laughs in his maddening way.

The ghost laughs with mad, mischievous glee,
And terrifyingly points at me!
I tip my chair in absolute terror.
The ghost hovers above eerily.
His finger pushes my desk a bit
Now embarrassed on the ground I sit!
The sudden fall made a crashing sound.
