This is a WORLD full of resources dedicated to the aspiring artists of theOtaku of all kinds. The term 'artist' is not limited to the categories on theOtaku. Art can range from sculptures, photography, writing, film, graphic art, and much more! We will have a collection of various tutorials and references to offer that will help you improve and learn new skills in whatever you specialize. However, in order to improve, one must also receive feedback on their work. The members of the Creative Community will be available to provide critiques and aid you on your journey as an artist.

Along with the goal of assisting other artists, this is, after all, a community, and we would like to also make this a place where you can meet new people that share your same interests. This is a friendly haven that will hopefully bring together the many members of theO.

If you wish to join this community, please subscribe so you can receive notification on when new things are posted and fill out an application. Members who have subscribed and sent in an application will be given the Guest Poster privilege, and will be able to ask for critiques on their work. To maintain Guest Poster privilege, please provide critiques to other users so everyone can benefit.

This site is designed to run without a lot of supervision. Features such as critiques and corrections depend on the activity of members. Administrators have the responsibility of coming up with events and updating the website every now and then. So please act appropriately and stay friendly.

Event History

This a collection of all Creative Community Events . Events include weekly and monthly challenges, comment days, etc. Remember that challenges are meant to help artists improve their skills, so you can go back to participate in a challenge even if its deadline has passed. Monthly challenges have a general theme for all mediums of art to participate. Weekly challenges will have slightly more specific themes/subjects so artists can focus on certain skills. Weekly challenges are active until the next one is announced. Events are organized by month.

CRITICS UNITED

This was a group founded by an old friend of mine, vacuumology. It was a wonderful community with a great group of artists and critics, and I'm sure many of us benefitted from it. I want to personally thank vacuumology as well as the others who worked with her, kisskiss-bangbang and smoking crimson, for all of their hard work on Critics United. Many of the elements that made their group work will be applied on the Critique services of this community.
