Group Info

Hi there and thanks for visiting our group :iconmanga-oc-love: :wave:

This is a traditional artwork group for original manga characters. The only digital artwork we allow is in the Non-Traditional OC folder. All other folders feature traditional artwork! Also, no fanart is allowed at all in this group. We focus on Original Characters made by you, the artist!

Link to Folder Descriptions: [link]

In this group, we encourage growth and creativity of artists. We like to promote each other and uplift people on their art skills, no matter what level they are at.

If you have any questions, be sure to ask!

We are currently trying to become a supergroup ([link] so if you would kindly make any donations here: [link] you will get a llama and several features!
Thank you!

Group Rules And Contests

Hello and welcome to :iconmanga-oc-love: :wave:

These are some basic ground rules that I hope you will all follow. If you break a rule once, you will get a warning. If you do it again you will get suspended. If you do it a third time, you will get kicked out no questions asked.

This is also just a quick reminder that THIS IS A TRADITIONAL GROUP! The only folder that we allow digital artwork or any other medium that is not traditional is the Non-Traditional Folder.

Also, our Fan Art folder means that you have drawn someone else's OC. This is not a folder for an OC that you created in someone else's world (such as an OC from the Naruto world).

:bulletred: Be nice and respective to everyone. No cussing or putting down (constructive criticism is ok as long as you do so in an appropriate way).

:bulletorange: Only one deviation per week, so please make sure that it is your best works. All works will be voted on for quality.

:bulletyellow: No yaoi/yuri/mature content! This is a clean group, so please keep it that way! We may deny something that may not need a mature content filter but is a bit to rounchy for the group.

:bulletblue: No linearts! No sketches! We want actually worked on art here!

:bulletgreen: Backgrounds are required and the picture must be colored (nicely too! Not just a one two job). All artwork will be voted on (if you gave an honest attempt, that's what counts).

:bulletpurple: You must submit your artwork into the right folder - if you don't, sorry guys, it will be denied. You may try and resubmit it to the correct folder and we may just resubmit it then. Here is a link to the folder information journal. If you are not sure what folder to submit something to, refer to this journal. [link]

So that is pretty much it. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Hello manga artists, I'm a Bleach Fanfiction writer who wants to turn the fanfiction into a manga, but is sorely lacking in the manga drawing skill department.

I'm looking for someone to collaborate with to make this happen. I won't be able to pay, only provide material for the collab. Both of us will have the rights to use each other's material so long as it pertains to the collaboration effort. Any additional conditions can be negotiated via note. However, I must stress that I CAN NOT pay for this, as I quite simply do not have the money.

Manga would be inked, but not colored. Any takers please note me.
