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.

Aug 11 - Google Drop - Weekly Challenge - Art

If you participate in this challenge, please dedicate it to CreativeCommunity or message us so we may feature you to the rest of the Community! The challenges will always be available through the Event History section of the Creative Community, so you can always visit the challenges that you missed.

Type of Event: Weekly Challenge
Instructions: Recreate a landscape pulled up by a random Google Street View generator. You can either draw exactly what you see, or you can use it for inspiration for your own original piece. (The first picture has been the same every time, so make sure you press the "Go" button at least to randomize the picture that appears.)

Aug 8 - Comment Day #6

In order for Comment Days to be as successful as they can be, the Community will have to work together as a whole. Please continue to spread the word about the Creative Community so that we may have more people participate!

Type of Event: Comment Day
Introduction: Leave encouraging comments to theOtaku submissions to help bring members together.
Instructions: Filter the submissions to what was submitted that week. Try commenting on the less popular pieces. Either filter the section to order by freshness or start at the end of the most popular list. Spend at least 30 minutes commenting. Comments should be encouraging, but also add friendly critiques to help artists learn and grow. Try to comment on at least 3 pieces from each section on theOtaku. Try commenting on the pieces with the least amount of comments.

Aug 4 - Confidence - Weekly Challenge - Writing

Prompt from Poets & Writers.

Type of Event: Weekly Challenge
Instructions: Deep within us, we have desires or goals we might be nervous about bringing out into the open for whatever reason. Maybe we feel embarrassed or that we can't compete with those who have already mastered the skill we seek to learn. You might have felt this way when showing your writing to someone for the first time—or maybe you still haven't shown your writing to anyone yet. This week, think about whether there are any factors that make it difficult for you to share your work. If you've taken the leap and put yourself out there, write about what that felt like. If you have yet to do so, write about what's holding you back.

Aug 4 - Summer Lovin' - Weekly Challenge - Art

Type of Event: Weekly Challenge
Instructions: Create a piece using the season of summer as inspiration. Summer doesn't just have to be the beach or fireworks. You could have ice-cream or simply a group of friends hanging out. Try to depict what summer means to you, or what you like about it. You could even draw one of your favorite memories from this summer.
