Welcome to May! We're heading into our second year, and our anniversary is coming right up. In fact, prejoin started on May 13th two years ago. How time flies!

This month, like last month, I will have this post stickied at the top of our recent posts. That means when you visit the community, you'll always see this post at the top of the page. Don't be alarmed and think no new games were posted! :3; You'll find them right under this post!

I'll try to include important links in the release post~

Hello, everyone! Chuu here.

Just making a reminder that you have 3 days left for submitting your anniversary art! If you need to remember what it's for and what you need to draw, please look here!

I'm going to start crossing off names for those of you who have submitted art already. If you have it done already but haven't submitted it yet, please turn it in here! We're counting on you to make this anniversary a great one!

Art thanks to Aniki!

Hello guys. This is Chuu! :)

For preparation for the upcoming 2nd year anniversary for Colors, I'll be hosting a quick submission post for anniversary art! The artwork that are submitted will be presented in a countdown event geared towards the Colors 2nd Anniversary, so do look forward to it. I'll be needing a total of 20 artworks of all the Colors Universe Characters.

There will be 2 of each character so there would 2 of Akai-san, 2 of Mikan-tan, 2 of Kou-kun, and so on. We do welcome art of any skill level so do feel free to submit any! Preferably, it would be nice to have a party or celebration theme going on the artwork as it is close to our 2nd year of Colors TCG. (So think party hats, balloons, presents and the like!) I will be keeping track on what has been submitted or not on this post, so do feel free to ask if a character has already been drawn twice already!



( rules and guidelines )

The submission post is here. Comments will be screened for this!

If you have any questions, please feel to ask here or at the submission post~

The deadline to post any art for the 2nd year anniversary ends May 13th~

Edit: nugeyo suggested a claims post so I'll have it listed right now and see how this goes! Feel free to claim specific days/characters by commenting here :3 If you don't feel like you'll be able to complete the art on time, please also let me know as soon as possible.
( cut for the list! )

This will close on October 31! But as that is Halloween, the new round after that will probably not go up immediately, so you may feel free to submit until I post a comment closing the round.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Asobot Initiative's Open Fic and Art Submission! This will run alongside the existing Colors Open Fic/Art page until the end of next month to promote creativity for the current Contest!
Also, be sure to consider contributing to the DeviantArt group over here if you have an account there!

The themes here are directly related to the Asobot Initiative; but in particular, cosplaying! The members of the Colors Universe have decided to cosplay various underappreciated characters that have made their way into the Initiative's ranks!


( July/August Asobot Initiative Open Fic and Art Themes )

Other fun news:
A small group of Colors players have banded together to create their version of the Colors household in Minecraft and, in theory, will be sharing it soon!

This might be a little buried among everything else, but I have been thinking about how cool it'd be if ~Colors Universe~ were to spread as a fandom. Although I believe traffic in archive sites will still mostly be from TCG members, it'd be nice to see art and fic posted in archive sites! If any of you are willing, I would love to see you submit your art and fic over at Deviantart. You can also consider submitting your fic to Archive of Our Own. If anyone is willing to consider submitting to Archive of Our Own, I will create a collection there!

(I am pretty clueless about Deviantart and haven't even written up an intro post, haha. If anyone would like to volunteer to monitor the DA group in my stead, let me know! <3 )

May/June Open Fic and Art Submission!!
We now have a complete cast of characters!

For each character's designs, please visit the website.
