Hello everyone and welcome to a new month (with this group under new management, too!)

This month's themes are:

#1, Winter Wonderland
What do your ocs do for the holiday season? Spend time with friends and family? Go ice skating? Sit alone in a Denny's as snow falls outside? Who knows--well, you know. So it's time to show us!

Or, #2, Dream self. What does your OC's. ideal self look like? What qualities do they possess? Does your OC really wish they were a cool robot-shark hybrid? Now's your chance to show off what they really want in life.

:bulletpurple: The same rules apply as always; literature, visual art, comics...it's all allowed!

:bulletpurple: As always, you can enter as many OCs as you'd like!

:bulletpurple: you can pick either theme, or combine them if you'd like an extra challenge!

About the Group

:iconoc-theme-challange:

WELCOME!



This is a group for all Original Character creators out there who have a hard time figuring out what to do with their OCs or just feel they need creative kick. This is a chance to show of their characters and maybe even the world they live in.

So how does it work?

Use the current theme as a creative development opportunity to show off OC's and their stories. New Themes will currently be posted monthly.

Lets say Fantasy is the current theme. So you pick one or more OC's and make a deviation around the theme in a way that makes sense for their world. If the OC is a modern day slice of life kind of character? Well maybe they play D&D or a game? Maybe they dress up for a party? If it is an actual Fantasy OC? Now you can show them doing something in their world, like fighting monsters or maybe use magic etc. etc.

It's theme challenges that only your imagination can be the limit to.


Current themes: Theme Month #16 (extended time!)Haaaallo all of you who are still around. I really have to apologize for the huge delay on this months themes (work and other things have gotten in the way I admit). To make up for that me and my admin therefore decided to make a longer than usual theme challenge. It will last from today (August 16th) till the last of September (giving you nearly half a month extra time). Also we do hope that the two themes will be interesting for a lot of you.
Theme 1:
Facing Your Demons

We all have that thing that gets in our way, that can cripple us, that stand as a challenge to be defeated. In this round your OC will have to face their greatest hindrance, their enemy.... Be it a person, a monster, an entity of ancient power, crippling fear, or anything else that really could break your character physically or mentally. This is a theme that will really put your character to the test.
Theme 2:
A Lover's Comfort

Most of us can seek comfort in the arms of a person, pet, or even just in an




RULES!



:bulletgreen: Safe For Work entries only. We are open for all ages so keep that in mind. Mature content is okay as long as you label your works mature as necessary. DA has rules about porn, please follow them. If you are in doubt then note us. :) All submissions will be screened before submission.
:bulletgreen: This is a group that is focused on Original Characters created from Original Universes. No fan characters please. You are allowed to include other people's OC's as long as the original owner of them is okay with it and you give them proper credit.
:bulletgreen: Only submit art/literature related to the themes. You can always link pictures and writings of your OC's world and profiles in the description of the picture to encourage others to look at your work.
:bulletgreen: Please, submit new works created for the challenge. Do not submit old artworks that relate to the current theme. There would be no challenge in posting something you had previously made. We encourage new works to grow your abilities as a creator.
:bulletgreen: All levels of artists/writers are welcome! This is a place to grow and challenge yourself to become a better artist/writer. There is no quality check.
:bulletgreen: Please state in the submission comment it's for this group and what theme This is so we can know it's meant to be for the months challenge. Because people will interpret the themes differently, which is part of the fun, it is hard to always know. We aren't mind-readers sadly. So that little thing does a lot.
:bulletgreen: This is not a place for rudeness or hate. If that's your intent, the back button is on your top left hand side, hun. We are all in different stages with art... And if you don't like a person just don't talk to them and just do you.
:bulletgreen: HAVE FUN!!! Chill, sit back, relax, and make some friends!!!

Hi there! 
I was wondering if the OC has to be human? Or can you do OC animals as long as the work fit to the theme? :D

Why yes. You OC may be animal, human, alien, or what ever else. As long as they are an OC and it fit the theme it's all good. :)
Only thing we do not accept is fancharacters.
