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.

Hello everyone! I am the proud creator of this group and I'm excited to see what we'll provide for theOtaku community. I've been a member of this site for a very long time. I was part of the Version Redefined generation. As time went on and more of my friends left or became less active, it seemed to spread among the whole community. Even on my and my friends' silly 12 year old drawings, I would get a ton of comments. Nowadays, I've noticed, even the top eight have very few comments. I created this group in hopes to bring back some of that friendliness and involvement that I know and love about theO. This site has helped me grow so much as a person and I want many of the newer members to see what a great group of people are here. I would have never pursued art if it weren't for the feedback I got from my friends. "Awesome job!" and "Keep up the good work!" may have been concise and repetitive in the comments on many different artworks, but it still meant a lot to me, and I know it did for a lot of other people as well.

My contributions to this community will be mainly focused on coloring and drawing people, but I'm also knowledgeable on graphic design. Unlike drawing, I've taken graphic design classes for three years. I'm most familiar with Photoshop, and I earned my Adobe Certified Associate in PSCS6. I've had an internship with some local graphic designers; the knowledge I gained in my internship allowed me to also earn my Adobe Certified Associate in Illustrator. I'm willing to help anyway I can, and I always love talking to new people. So please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions over anything!

Ahoy! Upon seeing this world in my backroom, I decided to check it out as I've come to respect Fun-chan's work. I'm not sure what I expected, but such a promising invention exceeded anything I could have dreamed up. Though I've only been here for about two years, I've already come to call theO home, and I want to make everyone's experience here the best it can be. I've been a part of several RP worlds, (TheMCC and PGR to name the most active ones), and my writing has exponentially improved because of my participation. When I began, my posts rarely received comments, and I attributed that to my unsatisfactory skills. I wasn't a terrible writer per se, but I wasn't very good either. Over the years, I've gotten better, and even when my posts are longer than they should be (my record is 33 pages on Google Drive), people comment to tell me what they think. Normally, they offer praise, but I love all comments, criticism and hate mail included. I've been able to grow because my desire for improvement fueled my drive. Writing is my passion, and I hope to share my love of the art with everyone I can.

I will be contributing my assistance on all things writing. Whether it's fiction or nonfiction, poetry or novels, I hope to offer my experience and advice to those who strive for success in the art of writing. I have been writing since eighth grade, and in that time, I've written poetry, short stories, monologues, novels and scripts. My most recent script is going to be used by my high school in the curriculum devoted to igniting a sense of community and understanding among the students. My English teachers over the years have encouraged me to publish my fictional writings. As for nonfiction, I have been on the staff of my school newspaper for two years, and I've managed our online presence enough to garner the attention of a local paper. I've won third place and honorable mention for a statewide poetry contest, and I successfully completely NaNoWriMo the first year (2013) I attempted to conquer it. My involvement on theO has consisted mainly of writing communities, and I intend on continuing my participating as long as I can. If you have any questions or concerns with your writing, I will drop everything to help you. I love editing and critiquing work, but I am very willing to solely offer suggestions, too. If I can help in anyway, don't hesitate to contact me! Meeting people who are passionate about writing and what they create is a pleasure of mine, and I look forward to working with you!

Greetings! My name is harvestmoonluvr, and I've been a member of theOtaku for six years now. I've come a long way thanks to this community. Over the years, I've seen a lot of otaku-friends come and go... so I'm pretty excited to forge new relationships with the members of Creative Community. We're all artists here, and I'm excited to share my experience and talents with all of you.

My specialties include Digital media, Photoshop, and basic Drawing and Anatomy. Though my Photoshop skills are self taught, I'm a freshman at the Art Institutes, and so far I've received formal schooling in design, life drawing, anatomy, and even animation. If you have any questions regarding these topics, feel free to ask! :)

Happy Drawing!

Heyo! As a member of theOtaku since 2007, this website is truly a place I call home. I've formed many great friendships here over the years, and I'm excited to help liven up the community again!

I like to consider myself a bit of a Jack-of-all-trades, but my specialty is video editing, also known as "vidding" or just "editing." I edit with various media--mainly anime, manga, and video games, but I've dabbled in live action and my own recordings/short films (read: school projects)--and have been doing so for seven years. I got my start with Windows Movie Maker, but currently edit using Sony Vegas. I'm hoping to encourage budding editors here to branch out, explore, and improve their abilities. If anyone has any questions about programs, downloads, effects, their videos, etc, please feel free to ask me!

Along with editing, I'm also a big writing fan, and hope to contribute to the Community in this area as well. My actual 'creative' writing abilities may not be the best, but I'm a pretty decent proofreader/editor. So, if you ever wanna fine-tune your work, don't hesitate to ask! I'm also a huuuge lover of worldbuilding, especially in fantasy stories. If you ever want opinions or ideas on how to bring your worlds to life, I'll do my best!

I also do various mediums of artwork, but on much rarer occassions, so I probably will not be contributing as much in these areas. Regardless, let's all show our creativity and share our love for the arts!
