| Our Visual Collection Of Deviations Portraying Hate Our Literature Collection Can Be Found In The "Hate" Gallery Here. |
| Welcome to Human Conditions! I see it as a combination of the two groups which inspired it, #So-Often-Bled and #Emotions-in-art. The edginess and imagination of #So-Often-Bled with the basic premise of #Emotions-in-art, capturing the range of emotions we experience as human beings. We are not for everyone. We are for serious artists of any media whose work deals with emotions and the condition of being human. We would rather be a small, interactive group than a large group where everyone dumps their latest deviations. We want quality, not quantity. |
| #HumanConditions is here to feature the best of the best of your deviations. Each deviation must portray a human condition or emotion; therefore, all submissions are up for approval before they are accepted into the gallery. If your deviation is declined or removed from the gallery, you will receive a comment or a note telling you why. At times, you are able to make corrections to your deviation and resubmit. Arguing in a rude manner will get you banned!  We accept all media, including photography, photo-manipulation, digital painting/airbrushing, traditional art, artisan crafts, and the written word. All art must be completed works of art that portray a human condition or emotion. We will only accept quality work.No: incomplete works, sketches, or works in progress. We will deny certain deviation themes.No: anime, fan art/literature, eyes, flowers, fairies, or simple fantasy themes, unless exceptionally executed and emotes a human condition. References to religion, either visual or in writing, will be considered on a case by case basis. Artistic nudity is okay BUT is up to the discretion of the staff. Submit directly to the Human Conditions theme folder that applies to your work. For a definition and description of each human condition, look inside of the gallery folder.Limit: two (2) submissions per day. Favorites limit: three (3) per day. Members cannot submit other deviant's deviations to the gallery. If you place a deviation in the storage after it has been accepted, we have the right to remove it. Photo-manipulations must give credit to stock providers. It's okay to submit older deviations; just make sure the stock provider is listed. If you're a writer, please read over the "Literary Guidelines". This will let you know what we're looking for in your poetry and prose submissions. |
| We look for well-crafted poetry and prose that is in keeping with our group theme, "human conditions." We want literature that evokes a potent human emotion, and we seek writing that is intriguing and original. Proper spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax are a must. A couple of notes: Pieces must able to stand alone; we don't accept chapters of novels and such. In prose, especially, briefer is better, although we draw the line at six-word stories. We rarely accept rhymed poetry. Too often, something else (such as syntax or rhythm) is sacrificed in search of the "perfect rhyme."Works that are judgmental will be declined. Keep in mind, if you aren't happy with your piece, we probably won't be, either. So please don't send in poetry or prose that you know is in progress or that has the equivalent of "This is lousy!" or "I hate this!" written in the artist's comments. Also, please consider type size and formatting. We understand the draw of being able to format your work—but if we can't read your piece on a laptop screen, it won't be accepted. We hope these guidelines help. If you have any questions, please feel free to note us. |
Darkness is PatientDarkness is Patient by ~Mishkin-Rayman
If you are one of those who listens to dark metal music
With hysterical men growling
Please know that you're not dark
If you are one of those who likes to dress in pitch black clothing
And value skulls for their aesthetics
Please know that you dress dark
If you are one of those who maintains cynicistic values
Frequently display your angers
Know that it is just a mark
Of your own inherent childishness
And that you're definitely not dark.
Look around you, see the happy folks
Who smile and work and play?
Perhaps you think they're too naive?
No, they're shrewd, and you're their prey!
They'll never show that they hold grudges
"Empty" she says"Empty" she says by ~silklilies
Julie was fingerless on one hand, the left—
It was a soft pad with three intact knuckles
and a partial thumb. The arm was pitiful,
skinny with the elbow pink, red, and jutting
out from her bent arm. Her veins were impressed
from the inside, showing hot blue
right through the skin;
that skin was pressed paper.
Julie was only a nickname,
the deliberate half-choke of her name, Julienne.
People never talked about the ugliness of her hand
or the diseases she seemed to readily inhale with
those shuddering blue breaths,
mottled white and purple lips.
They tended to talk about how maybe

There is a group rule concerning unnecessary comments from you after we've made a decision to decline a deviation. I've had three such incidents in the last few days.
