OC-TOBER 2023 PROMPTS!!

general tag: #oc-tober / my prompts: #bweirdOCtober

F.A.Q:

Do I have to draw EVERY DAY? NO! I highly encourage skipping as many days as you need to avoid burnout! There are 10 main days in the event (marked with a ⭐ star) that you can focus on if you don't feel up to doing every day, or you can choose your own adventure and just do the prompts you personally like!

Do I have to DRAW? NO! You can also write fanfiction snippets, repost older art that fits the theme, tweet headcanons/backstory, roleplay in-character as your oc ... genuinely anything that fits the theme is OK!!

Can I start early? YES! I understand some people work at a slower pace and might need a head start! So long as you wait until October to post it, you can start working as early as you need!

I missed the start of the event .. do I have to catch up? NO! Please don't stress about days you missed, you're allowed to just skip to the current prompt!

RULES:

1. MAKE FRIENDS! The community is the best part of this event .. please try to follow new people, ask questions about ocs you like, compliment people's styles, ask friends to create with you, etc! 2. TAKE IT EASY! Skip a day if you're tired, busy or just not interested in the prompt. You don't have to catch up on it later. This is supposed to be fun, not work! 3. BE KIND! Please think about the people around you - don't give people unwarranted harsh criticism, content warn for themes/imagery in your work that could trigger someone, don't create anything hateful, etc

Amazing how all it takes is two horror things with Winnie the Pooh and suddenly everyone is back to "idk maybe we need even stricter copyright laws" thats boot licker talk my friend, not everything will be great done with public domain characters but thats not the point, its the freedom for stories to be shared and built upon now and in the future rather than locked behind the gates of copyright. Expression for us all

Hey, are you an artist? Then you should check out my super cool discord server. It's meant to serve as an archive of references all in one little neat space so you don't have to constantly Google for a specific transformer and not even get good references.

We also have chill chatting areas for comic discussion, art show off, writing help, etc! It's not the most active server in the world, but we do watch parties and the occasional art swap! (Last one was kinda confusing because I never ran one before. Learned my lesson, though!) This is a server for all ages, so there is no nsfw allowed.

If you're interested either, dm me, send me and ask, or say so in the reblogs!
