Type of Event: Monthly Challenge
Supervisor: WyvernWings
Introduction: Submit one writing piece every week for assessment. I would like you to submit a piece immediately so I can track your progress and offer critiques, comments, etc.
Instructions: Please submit one new piece every week. The challenge is for each piece to be in different type of writing. For example, the first week you may submit a poem, the second week you may submit a short story, the third week you may submit a short scene, and the fourth week you may submit a chapter of a novel. That is one example. Another way to do this would be to write in four different genres, or four different types of poetry, though I would prefer you intermingle prose and poetry. For poetry, the minimum is 14 lines, and for prose, the minimum is one page double-spaced.

Introduction: After learning about the Elements and Principles of design, apply these Elements and Principles to a piece of artwork.
Instructions: Come up with a composition that utilizes at least two elements. Several different principles can be displayed through the use of few elements. Demonstrate your knowledge of design through your artwork. Try coming up with at least three different sketches to help with your composition. Being able to organize the layout of your artwork can help you set up focal points and subjects of interest. Don't worry about value or color until you have established the foundation of your piece. You may use whatever medium you feel comfortable with.
Please ask if you have any questions!

Hello everyone!
Today marks the launch of the Creative Community! Please feel free to look around and explore the Community. We provide several features and resources that are dedicated to improving the skills of artists. 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.
We want to also re-establish the friendly community of theOtaku. Through the Creative Community, we want to help encourage learning and growing of artists. To accomplish that, we plan on holding events called "Comment Days" and "Introduce Yourself!" to have members reach out to members of theOtaku and comment on their things. We want to maintain a friendly and encouraging community throughout the website.
The Creative Community is designed to be successful without frequent Admin or member activity; however, features such as Critiques and Jobs and certain events rely on member activity. In order for the Creative Community to utilize its features to the best of its ability, we ask that you check in during your free time.
We ask that you look through and familiarize yourself with our features through our About Us page, and we hope that you consider joining! Whether or not you decide to join, we ask that you please provide any suggestions for our artist Resources. Though there are features exclusively for members, there are plenty of features that are open to non-members as well. We want the Creative Community to be beneficial to as many people as possible.
If you wish to take an administrative position with the Creative Community, please fill out a new member application and indicate that you are interested in being an Admin. In doing so, you'll gain access to the Creative Backroom.
This first week after launch shall be used as a time to let members settle in and spread the word. It will also be used to set up examples for certain posts to help guide members. Please use this time to ask any questions or provide any suggestions. Events will not begin until June 1.
Thank you for viewing our website! Please feel free to use this post to ask questions, and please spread the word about the Creative Community with your friends.
