Now Viewing: original

Artwork depicting a subject that isn't from any established howto:copyright. Basically, art that is not fanart.

Some art may depict original subjects alongside subjects from an established copyright. In this case, the art should be tagged as original and with the tag for the copyright.

Outside tags

Most original artworks on Pixiv are tagged with:

* オリジナル ("Original")
* 創作 ("Creation")
* 原创 ("Original" in simplified Chinese)
* 原創 ("Original" in traditional Chinese)
* 看板娘 ("Poster Girl" of Artist's Webpage)
* 自キャラ (Own Character)
* オリキャラ (OriChara)
* オリロボ (OriRobo)

Some works on Pixiv are occasionally tagged original by accident. Art by the character designer for an established copyright also sometimes tag their work as original — on Danbooru, these should be tagged with the corresponding copyright instead.
