Hello!

As =EmpressFunk is a little bit busy right now, she asked us, ~Wareveh and ~Mockingbirdflyaway, to keep things running!
Just thought you should know!

Oh by the way: come on people, there's a contest going on! Entries will be most welcome!


Hugs and kisses!



Commenting and faving deviations
To Comment and/or fav any picture we ask you to go to the original (there is a link to the original in the deviation's description) and comment and/or fav it there. Because otherwise the artist will not be notified on your thoughts about the picture and maybe about his/her character. So please do not comment on the club submission, do it on the original.
Thank you!



Welcome To Originals Club
This is a club for original character creations, be they stories, artwork, comics, what-have you. There's a lot of fanart floating out there on deviantArt, which is lovely, but here's the place to display creations from your own imagination. So come join if you have OCs you want to show off and feel need a little bit of spotlight. There will be group projects and contests in the future once more people join! The first contest will probably be to help design a club ID. Because that's what all the cool kids do.

JOINING
Please send me a note (through the club, not me personally ^_^) with the heading "JOIN" if you would care to become a member! We'd love to have you and see your work!

SUBMITTING ARTWORK
Please send me a note with the heading "SUBMIT" and a link to your deviation so we can feature your artwork in the club! Also: When sumbitting work, please keep it limited to about 2-3 pieces--I don't want to get too flooded!

Also the second, ~Mockingbirdflyaway came up with the idea to fill out this for descriptions:


Character(s):
Age(s):
Where are they from:
Now where are they from geographically:
Do they belong to a fandom:
When is their "birthday" (i.e. when did you come up with them?):
Link to any story that features them:
Special notes:



RULES
Well, as this is a club for original characters, I'd have to say the only rule (so far) is no fanart, please. Pretty self-explanatory, right? Original characters created from other works (i.e., if you created an original Hogwarts student from the Harry Potter universe) are acceptable.

And above all else--have fun!

CONTEST
So to get things going, I figured we could have a contest to help design an ID for OriginalsClub. Which, I suppose means I should set some guidelines, yes? 'Kay.

Guidelines:
A least one (1) original character: I think that makes a good amount of sense, right? We don't necessarily have a mascot (whoo, that would be another contest in and of itself, wouldn't it?), so any character you may have can be featured. The more, the merrier!
Club Colors: As you can see by the icon and the current ID picture, the club actually has a color theme going on. Please try to incorporate this theme into the picture some how, whether it'd be the background, or the clothes your character is wearing, or whichever.
Club Name and Motto: Last, please have "Originals Club" and the motto "Because you can't draw fanart all the time" displayed somewhere on the ID for everyone to see.

I do believe that is about it--it's an open contest and has no real deadline, since there aren't a whole ton of members yet, so no worries! If you decide to enter, please send a note with the heading "CONTEST" with a link to your entry in the body of the note.
