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.

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.

July 28 - Rewrite a Classic Fairy Tale - Weekly Challenge - Writing

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
Introduction: Rewrite a classic fairy tale
Instructions: Using a classic fairy tale, rewrite it into your own original version. Consider Disney movies. Though they are based off of different fairy tales, when compared to the originals, they are vastly different. Don't be afraid to stray from the most popular tales. All cultures have their own unique and magical stories.

July 8 - Growth Comparison - Weekly Challenge - Writing

All writing entries must be Times New Roman, size 12, double-spaced if submitted in any medium other than via PM.

Type of Event: Weekly
Introduction: To improve as a writer, one must accept that change is often for the better. As you write, your style, your voice, your interests all change. It is important to recognize the necessity of your growth, but it is equally important to understand the importance of where you started.
Instructions: Fish up an old piece of writing. The older, the better, but try not to delve into elementary years (unless you had a strong sense of vocabulary and syntax back then). Then compare what has changed, and make note of what is effective in both examples. You do not have to submit anything other than the two pieces.
