Hello, What is OC-Training?

OC-Training is a four month course dedicated to developing your character, creating a collection of artworks and engaging in a friendly community.


We don't accept random OC art, only tasks and works related to the program.


The group is open for any reliable artist: beginner, intermediate, advanced, hobbyist or professional.

Our gallery has many subfolders. Explore to see what we're doing here!


Members are auto-approved. If you have questions, note us or write a comment!

Our goals, rules and guidelines

Goals:

  • Developing your OC's design and backstory

  • Creating a collection of visual artworks

  • Acquiring an audience for your character

Rules:

  1. One OC per round.

  2. All artwork must be drawn by you and at least shaded or colored. No WIPs. (Comic pages are allowed to be a neat sketch/lineart)

  3. Comment on all of your teammates tasks with at least a sentence.

  4. Provide links to comments in "Correspondence Message" when submitting art. www.deviantart.com/corresponde…

Guidelines:

  • OCs of any age, gender, species, genre and fandom are welcome. You may feature additional characters in any task.

  • You are welcome to comment on all submissions, not only your team.

  • Belated tasks, except the first and last, can be submitted at anytime. Be sure to finish trades and critiques before the final task, though.

  • Mature content is allowed as long as you put a mature tag on it. Be mindful that some of your teammates may find your submission disturbing.

  • If you want to skip any of the trade tasks or critique, note admins in advance before the arrangements are made.

  • Note admins as soon as you start to expect that you may experience any trouble or need to withdraw.

Hi everyone, I'm just letting you know I'll be a bit late with my task 4 Art Trade. I've been down with a virus for about a week and I'm just recovering now so I'll get on with the piece as soon as I feel well enough

I tired to follow the process to link comments for task 3- clicking on no comments just takes me to the deviantart 404 error page.

I have the same problem, Correspondence is removed I think.

Yes, it is very frustrating. Looks like we can no longer do admin things on mobile, so I will look into it as soon as I can.

Since we are on sort of a new layout for group, I just know that you can now set background images and banners for it just like a DeviantArt User Profile now.


Despite some setbacks.

When the next class opens I plan to enroll :thumbsup:

Awesome!! :D We look forward to having you!
