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.

September Break

Hello everyone! First off, I want to thank everyone who has viewed this world and shared it with their friends. Though things are a little slow, this world, above everything else, is a resource world. So even if people don't partake in challenges or comment days, we still have resources available all the time for your viewing pleasure. :) We're always taking suggestions, so feel free to suggest any tutorials, challenges, or inspirational artists!

Anyways, with the start of school, I'm going to take a little break from monitoring this world. Once October rolls around, we'll be back with more challenges. Thank you for your patience! Good luck to everyone starting school!

Have a wonderful day. :)

Aug 25 - Back to School - 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: Unfortunately, school is starting. You can either take all your frustrations out into a piece about school, or you can take a positive turn and try drawing what you look forward to. School can/is stressful, but don't forget about your friends or any awesome teachers. Use this piece to release some nerves as you say goodbye to summer.

Aug 15 - Comment Day #7

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.
