We invite you to check out an art event that will inspire creative minds. It’s been empty in the circus lately, so we’ve decided to let you create your very own OCs with an object generator! You’ll then apply your designs with any creative medium you prefer.

There’s prizes for any of the winners. Depending where one ranked, prizes may include Nitro or even a chance to have your OC featured in the server. Overall, this is a chance to embrace creativity and have fun! More details are available down at The Digital Circus server in the event news channel! Join us today if interested!
