I would like to suggest that there be a subcategory under "Manga/Anime" for manga- & anime-inspired artisan crafts, specifically costumes. The Manga/Anime category was formed because the manga & anime styles have such a large fanbase, regardless of media used to create the artwork. Costuming is merely another artistic media, and there are plenty of anime/manga costumes on DA in the Artisan category.
If there were a sub-category in Manga/Anime, it would follow with the purpose of the entire manga/anime category--to make all manga & anime art easily accessible to those who wish to view it. Furthermore, people who like costuming but are not anime/manga fans would not have to trudge through the large amount of anime-related costumes submitted to DeviantArt on a daily basis.
Therefore, I propose that within the Manga/Anime category, alongside the "Digital Art" and "Traditional Art" sub-categories, a new "Artisan Craft" subcategory be added, which could then be divided into Costumes and any subjects as seems necessary, in case people create small figurines or anything else that might be in manga/anime style but not simply digital or traditional 2-D artwork form.

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
