Deviation Actions
【 Welcome to OC-Tea! 】
↬ We're all about the art here ↫
Please ensure you read the rules and folder types before you submit your deviation. We currently have a two-per-week submission limit, so we don't want you to have to wait to get your art out there! Submissions can take between a few hours and a few days to be approved. Here is a tutorial on how to submit.
Everyone is allowed to join without having to ask, regardless of whether you have an OC or not. You can find the join button on the left side of the homepage in the 'Group info' section.
ATTENTION: Joining requires a password hidden in our "Yays and Nays" sections! To make it easy, it's a question you have to answer in your join request. Be sure to read through our rules to find the password, otherwise we will not accept join requests! Here's a hint: It's tea related!
We hope you have fun here with us, keep on arting!
► Join requests are open, you will be automatically accepted! Just click the Join button, which can be found on the left side of this page ♡
► By joining us, you are agreed that you have read all information regarding submissions and rules.

► OC stands for Original Character. It is defined by a character that you made for your personal use or for a project you're making. OCs are different from random characters in that OCs have a backstory and personality you gave them and you intend on remembering who they are, potentially using them again in the future. We do accept OCs, but not random characters.
► A variation on OCs would be FCs, which characters you made for an already existing series. These are welcome here too!
If you have any questions about your submission or why your submission was declined, please send the group a NOTE with a link to your art, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!

What is an OC?
► OC stands for Original Character. It is defined by a character that you made for your personal use or for a project you're making. OCs are different from random characters in that OCs have a backstory and personality you gave them and you intend on remembering who they are, potentially using them again in the future. We do accept OCs, but not random characters.
► A variation on OCs would be FCs, which characters you made for an already existing series. These are welcome here too!
⦅ Yays & Nays⦆
Note that in order for a submission to be accepted, it has to explicitly state that it depicts one or more OCs either in the title, the description, or the tags. Tagging it with #oc always suffices!
If you have any questions about your submission or why your submission was declined, please send the group a NOTE with a link to your art, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!

Your OC in the Spotlight!
Hey everyone! Your co-founder ElithianFox (https://www.deviantart.com/elithianfox) here.
With our new admins, we're once again slowly getting ahead of our submission backlog, and to get the group a little more active, it sounded like a fun idea to do a little character feature!
Comment below with an OC of yours, and tell us a little about them! In a few weeks, we'll randomly pick one OC to put in the spotlight, together with some extra commentary from us. This means many people will see and possibly comment their thoughts on your OC, so be sure to enter someone you'd love to take the spotlight!
How to enter your OC
1. Link to some media containing your OC. Artwork on Deviant
Updates + Looking for staff
Hey y'all! Your co-founder ElithianFox (https://www.deviantart.com/elithianfox) here.
General updates
The group has been overflowing a little bit due to us being a little understaffed at the moment. We made several choices to better help us mitigate submissions and keep the backlog small. Changes are the following:
► We went back to letting members submit to the folder of their choice. The number of wrongful submissions weren't worth the sorting required after the submission was complete.
► Submissions made to wrong folders will be accepted and manually moved by staff. Please still make an effort to submit correctly, as this saves us time!
► Submission limit
An update
Hey everyone! Your co-founder ElithianFox (https://www.deviantart.com/elithianfox) here with some updates and reminders.
Expired submissions, new submission process
We just bridged the summer vacation period, and it didn't go exactly the best way. Admins have been very busy, and I myself have been studying so many of us had little time to spend on the group. As a result, many submissions are backtracked and at risk of expiring, or have already expired. If your piece expired without any reason stated why, feel free to resubmit it!
To better deal with the growth of the group and to avoid some of the declines we have to make, we will be trying out a new submission system:
There will
We're open again! + First new admins
Hey everyone! Your cofounder ElithianFox (https://www.deviantart.com/elithianfox) here.
I'm excited to announce that with the help of our new admins, we cleared through the outstanding submissions in no time and we are ready to open again! Please make sure to read the updated folder guidelines on our frontpage before making any submissions.
Also note that we retired the Other People's OCs folder; anything that went to that folder in the past now goes to the regular folders instead!
Secondly, we selected a couple of new contributors already to help us clear the submissions faster. These aren't the final choice for admins, so if your comment is still featured in this journal's
