My friends! It is with great, gleeful pleasure that I can finally announce something that many of us have been waiting for:
The 2018 Derpibooru Community Collaboration Project has begun!
Over the past year, we’ve grown as a community, we’ve improved as artists, and we’ve created so many new, amazing OCs. And with the overwhelming success of the 2017 Community Collab, plus strong demand for a “round two”, it’s time for us to gather together once again to show how we’ve grown and improved, and create the largest group photograph the pony art community has ever seen!
The Derpibooru Community Collab is a large group photograph showing off the OCs of all the members of our community, created by the community. Think along the lines of the official season cast posters (such as >>590138 and >>115861), but featuring OCs instead.
This is a now-annual event that started in late 2016 to celebrate Derpibooru’s fifth anniversary on January 2nd, 2017. This event is open to everyone in the MLP art community, whether you’re an artist, a member of the site, or just someone who has an OC they want to show off! Our first community collaboration featured 268 Characters drawn by 199 Artists, and I think we can beat those numbers this year!
