About This Group

Our emphasis is science fiction ART (and writing); all media (drawings, paintings, Photoshop, Bryce, etc).

Science fiction is defined as speculative fiction based on SCIENTIFIC POSSIBILITIES. The science can be “far out” and exist in theory (so far!). It can include anything from aliens to time travel, alternate realities to trans-Galactic tour-ships but the science ought to be there in the background (whether “proven” yet or only dreamed about.)

Your work needs a sci-fi theme to qualify. You don’t have to write the story, though we’d love it if you did! But your image should at least “suggest” something out of science fiction, whether alien landscapes, ET’s, the future, alternate dimensions, robots, starships, engimas of the cosmos, etc. Would it fit on the cover of a sci-fi novel, tv series, magazine? Then it qualifies.

This group is not for High Fantasy (dragons, fairies, unicorns, etc). There are other groups devoted to the genre, such as Fantasy and Mystical Things, Fantasy Art
Myths, Legends & Fairy Tales. and Our World of Fantasy.

This group is not for Horror (zombies, werewolves, vampires). These are not based on “scientific possibilities” and would better fit in other groups including (but not limited to) ~ Dark Cabaret, Dark Artists, Dark Art, The Dark Side, Blood Red, Voices of the Dark & Deep and Deepest Darkest Fears.

For now we are accepting shirt designs but they must relate to science fiction and they must be ORIGINAL. Please don’t submit images you’ve copied from TV or movie clips ~ it’s copy-right infringement! Make them clever, make them funny; they should stand out! No “just text.” We are rejecting shirt designs which fail to comply with our criteria and there are other groups for general shirt design, such as Cool Far Out Tees, T~Me, WTF Are You Wearing?, T HQ, Nerds Unite, Parody and Wear Your Art.

Also, please don’t duplicate your work! (As in, same design but different colors). If you have several versions of your artwork, pick the best so every entry is unique.

We realize the line is a thin one at times — after all, Sci-Fi is fantasy and it sometimes overlaps with other genres, such as horror (very rarely). We are rejecting material that isn’t immediately recognisable as Sci Fi ~ and also, writing that is esoteric but cannot be described as sci-fi narrative. (Please note, that your descriptive text can often make a difference, bringing images into the sci-fi genre even if, in some cases, an image in and of itself might otherwise not qualify! So if you have a sci-fi concept and/or story in your work, we encourage you to tell it!)

If you use the “Writing” page to tell us “journal” information, it will be rejected. Writing is for creative work only. (We are not accepting Journals anymore).

For now, we accept works based on copyrighted motifs such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who etc. so long as they show a high degree of original interpretation. No shots from movies or tv, no “Just Text”, nothing taken straight from other, copyrighted sites! The responsibility is with YOU, the artist, to be up to date on the legal implications of your work. Source material must be given the proper attribution in your work’s description. This applies to stock, as well.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! In the meantime, we invite you to blind us with your speculative visions, science fiction stories, inter-stellar dramas, far-flung characters and settings — whether they’re inspired by the Greats or purely your Originals!
