Terms I don't know but probably should...

Sign up or login to post a reply.

I love art, but until I joined Artspots I had not ever known what it was like to be in an artist community. Now, I've been here a few months, but there are still some things that are fairly commonly used and I have no idea what they mean! So, heres a list of terms I should probably know, but don't:

OC~ original character?
CEO
ACEO
ATC
Fursona
Photomanip~ photo manipulation?

Can anybody give me a definition? And if there are other terms you feel are important and I should know them, please tell me. Thanks!^^

Fursona: 'furry-persona'

I had to look that one up myself when someone had asked if one of my OCs was my "fursona"

Art, Illustration, and Design are all life styles...not popularity contests.


OC: Original Character
CEO: Chief Executive Officer (no idea for what it is here, maybe ACEO without the A?)
ACEO: Art Cards, Editions and Originals (a 3.5"x2.5" trading card that is an original work of art or limited edition print)
ATC: Artist Trading Card (an ACEO meant specifically for trade for another ACEO, not for sale)
Fursona: Furry Persona (an anthropomorphic animal original character that represents you)
Photomanip: Photo manipulation

OK, thanks a lot! ^^ Errm, what are the standards for a photomanip?

OC also = Open Canvas, a simple but effective digital drawing program.

As for a photomanip, as I understand it, if you take any photo or work of art and change it in any way, it is a photomanip.

Thank you for clearing that up!
