Description

Having an OC featured in the collab, despite of being artistic achievement, is also a personal efficiency success. Even if for most of us drawing is “just” a hobby, it requires focus and effort. It’s almost impossible to deliver good quality art at 2 a.m. after exhausting day.

You organized your time well, so you performed decent at school of work, and still develop your OC, drawing with care and complete trades. - Or perhaps you were honest with yourself to not get involved in trades that later you may find extremely difficult to complete. (Once I took a day off at work to paint my part of the trade.)

OC-Training could be frustrating, e.g. when you like to add your piece to the gallery, but still have to comment on your team fellows’ art-works. We overcame all distresses and here are our original characters together for long-lasting satisfaction. Be proud of yourself! Congratulations.

During 9th round we have had 462 submissions. I know I miss some lovely art-works and enjoyable stories. I hope back to browse our gallery in February. Though feel free to invite me to comment certain submissions sooner – it might happen I could do.

In January I plan: draw a bookmark with color pencils and paint digitally a birthday piece for my friends (there are only a few days between their birthdays, so it seems like a great idea to portray their RPG team). Then I’ll get down to tremendous task of sorting fotos from past three years, made with two different mobiles, two different cameras and send me by friends and relatives.

DeviantArt will get eclipsed. Beta-testers report mixed feelings. It may happen that some users will look for a different platform. To make sure we stay in touch, let’s become friends on Facebook.

However I hope we meet in OC-relax and in next OC-training round. Enrollments starts on 1st Feb 2019 and the round itself on 1st Mar 2019. Please join!

The collab photo turned out amazing! Everyone looks great, all with different poses and styles, but still it all comes together really well against the beautiful and realistic background (and the cast shadows on the ground and steps add a touch of realism)!

Thank you so much for all your involvement in OC-Training, all the care and effort and heart you put into all these rounds!  I wish to you good luck and all the best for your future endeavours!   (I also added you on FB ^^)

Thanks so much for this round (still working on the prom pic QQ), I'll definitely be joining again ;D

I'm happy you like the arragement, because the numer of our OCs turned out to be a bit a challange to fit in stairs (I tried a few landscapes to find best fit)

Also thank you for kind words. I'm looking forward to see your "Prom" and to meet your another OC in spring

Tete-DePunk [2018-12-30 15:49:23 +0000 UTC]

Totally seconding what Zakuro-Kona said here- you did a phenomenal job with your expertise of using stock images to create a convincing and dimensional environment here. There's shading to give dimension, and everything is arranged and placed in a natural, seamless composition and scale to size.


Every character is arranged perfectly by height and pose- everything looks aligned and in the right perspective of size ratio!


And Akaszik - thanks for creating this group. Thanks for being an awesomely patient and helpful admin- you gave this group is heart and drive. Although we are very sorry to see you go, we are grateful and happy for all your tireless work and genius you generously gave to each and everyone of us.              


May your new goals and plans prosper well for you- and any way we can touch with you, please let us know.

I'm happy you like the way I arrange the collab.

Also thank you for word of appreciaton and your wishes. Sure I'll be around with my OCs (I can't decide whom enroll to OC-Training in spring). Also to be up to date with my stuff, please let's become friends on Facebook.

Wow, it's nice to see everyone's OCs together in one picture as a big, happy community!  

Good job on putting together everyone's individual parts (That must have taken a LOOOONNNGGG TIME.) and thank you for another round of OC training! ^u^

This looks absolutely amazing!!!
Fantastic work in making everyone look so natural with the background with so many different art styles!!

Thank you so much for all the work and for being such a great admin/leader/founder! I haven't been on the group for long, but if for the two rounds I was at I can already tell how much work you put for everything, I'm sure you must be a hundred times more amazing!

Thank you so much for everything! <3

This is quite impressive! 
This crossover picture reminds so much of Smash Bros. Ultimate with
characters from different series coming together.

I've been playing the game a lot!

SpaceCastaway [2018-12-28 21:11:39 +0000 UTC]

They all look glorious! Amazing job putting it together! It's interesting to read the statistics too
It feels surreal to think it might the last final collab done by your hand. Thank you for yet another wonderful round of fun, development and discoveries, hope to see you in the next round among the participants!
I'm almost satisfied with my own performance this round: I would be perfectly happy if I had involved in other characters enough But it was a lot of fun nonetheless!
As to staying in touch, maybe a fanpage/ group for OCT on FB? Would be cool to have a backup communication platform!

Helladelic [2018-12-28 06:44:31 +0000 UTC]

Ooh wow! I really love the way this group piece turned out!

It's so awesome to see everyone together here! You did an excellent job fitting everyone in here and showing their different heights and size differences! You also did an excellent job laying them all out and fitting them in with the background environment! 

I love that you have Makayla next to Deimos and have the tallest and larger scale characters grouped together on the right!

Everyone did a great job this round and I look forward to the next round! Thank you so much for doing this up, as well as everything you've done for OCT!

Wow! Thank you so mutch! I like how you can see his beerstien, also i like the color editing looks great! To be honest i meant for him to have a eerie "smile before the storm" look that some would find in old pictures, just a detail still love it!

SunsetBlazer [2018-12-28 00:39:31 +0000 UTC]

This looks incredible!  What a great way to fit characters of so many different heights.  Stunning!  I see your expertise of using stock images at work here: layering the images to add depth, adding shadows... not to mention so many layers of characters... Gosh!  What great attention to detail! You made such great use of the background environment - Deimos and Nuor on either side of the column it adds a lot of depth, and I enjoy the characters sitting on ledges. Everyone fits together so comfortably - from little Hinobi to Goddess Fortuna! 

I thought last round's photoshoot was the greatest - this one might be even better!  


(  I can only hope to create an image as awesome as this for next round's photoshoot! )

ArthurQF [2018-12-28 00:05:40 +0000 UTC]

Wow, you did a fantastic job setting this up! I love how everyone looks and you laid this out beautifully! The composition is excellent! I love how Nuor and my Deimos are both rockin' the wavy hair. ;D I also love how Deimos is handy Makayla. Everyone looks lovely and everyone did a great job this round!

I will be joining the next round for sure!

Excellent work done and thank you so, so much for everything!
