Oekaki Rules and Information
by Simon @ Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:13 am [Reply]

All rules regarding forum conduct, child-friendly content, and art use/creation also apply to the Oekaki, but there are also some specific rules that apply only to the Oekaki forums.

    Oekaki Rules
    • Keep comments polite, helpful, and relevant to the artwork. Do not start discussions or debates. Critique is allowed if requested by the artist but insults are not welcome.

    • Make an effort to post your drawing in the correct board. Continued intentional misuse of the forum categories may result in disciplinary action. You can view descriptions of what each board is for in the forum index.

    • Don't spam the Oekaki. Your drawing should show intention and a modest amount of effort. We do not allow random scribbles, simple shapes, or empty/solid color canvases, nor should you post advertisements for trades, streams, or other threads. Covered drawings must still follow the oekaki rules and have art visible, even if they are WIPs.

    • Don't create Oekaki topics just to share art you've created elsewhere. Art drawn in another program should be posted in the appropriate board (example: non-Oekaki adoptable characters go in User-made Adoptables).

    • Don't make Oekaki drawings with just words or puzzles written on them. The Oekaki is for sharing artwork, not for displaying a written message or playing a forum game.

    • If using an editable you must follow the artist's rules. This may include leaving a signature/watermark layer on the final image, or may prevent you from selling colored-in versions as adoptables.

    • Don't post blank canvases in the contests board. Contests may be posted there only if you provide a recognizable lineart or relevant background for contestants to use in their entries. If you don't need people to edit something in particular, go to the Regular Art Competitions Board to create your topic. You can still make a rule that your contestants make their entries in the Oekaki boards if you prefer it that way. For more specific rules about contests please view this thread.

    • Specific rules apply to the the Adoptable boards on the Oekaki:

      • The Oekaki is for making and sharing art in the Oekaki program. If you’d like to use another program to create your adoptables, please post them in user-made adopts or character design shops. “Cover adoptables” are not permitted, except for “milestone” adoptables in which case the cover must still follow Oekaki rules.

      • You may sell Oekaki art/adoptables for CS pets/items/C$, allowed offsite currency, and dA points/real currency. Keep in mind that CS staff are unable to assist with transactions gone wrong involving other site currency or real currency.
        • Any real currency discussion must occur offsite; please link to where you can be contacted. Do not discuss real currency transactions on CS.
      • Post your adoptables in the correct board. If you want to create just a few adopts, use the Adoptables 1: Independent/One-Off board. If you want to create a closed species, community, and intend to make many adoptables, use the Adoptables 2: Closed Species/Communities board.

      • Follow the rules outlined by the adopt creator(s). Many species owners have their own rules that you must follow in order to successfully participate in their species, so be sure to read their rules before posting. CS staff may enforce a thread owner’s rules if necessary. Note that species rules may not circumvent our official site rules.

      • All Adoptable Oekaki submissions must be judged no later than 1 month after their end date. Staff may intervene if the user fails to select a winner after 1 month. Failure to judge a contest after being reminded may result in a board warning.

      • Users are bound to the species rules published at the time that the user receives the adopt. If a species owner adds a new rule, they cannot punish players for breaking the rule before it was added. This includes revoking or rehoming adopts. Updated adoptable rules apply only to adopts made after the rule was published.

      • Paid-entry raffles are not permitted. You may not charge users for the chance to win something.

      • Competitions with entries requiring artistic/creative effort must end with a winner. The promised prize (in this case the character design) must be awarded at the end of the contest to an entrant, so be sure you want to give the character away. You may only change your mind if there are no forms that meet the competition requirement.

      • If you want to transfer your species to another player, then you will need to notify CS staff beforehand. More information on transferring thread ownership can be found here.



    Selecting a different version of ChickenPaint:
    We have 3 versions of the Oekaki program to choose from. The newest version (ChickenPaint v2.0) allows you to use extra features like layer clipping, layer groups, and layer masks.



    Help:
    If you don't know how to get started, go to the Beginner Oekaki. When you create a 'New Topic' it will load ChickenPaint for you.
    You need Java to view it, and once you create and send a picture it will feature at the top of your new topic.

Rainbow Beagle Dalmatian
by Rocky Road Raccoon @ Thu May 09, 2024 9:39 am [Reply]

Based off a dog at my sibling's work, with the obvious rainbow addition. He has really cool markings, like a dalmatian with the beagle saddle, and he's so cute I wanted to pet him so bad when I saw him yesterday
Unlike the others this one is just free fcfs, post to claim. Owned by M4NGL3D.
Once adopted I'd really appreciate it if you didn't sell/trade them for at least a month, please! After that feel free! You're free to redesign and stuff though!

Pastel Python Chimera
by Rocky Road Raccoon @ Thu May 09, 2024 2:21 am [Reply]

A chimera who is a munchkin cat instead of a lion
And a little troublemaker
Just another random design lol, sadly there's no signs of me stopping as I got 2 or 3 more ideas
Thousandsounds helped me with the pallet so I'm giving this buddy to them! But like I said much more to come.

The Struggle is Real
by Rocky Road Raccoon @ Wed May 08, 2024 11:01 pm [Reply]

Colt likes to climb anything and everything. Even though it's a bit of a struggle because he's small.

coffee.berry @ Thu May 09, 2024 12:06 am

    ah that sounds like me when i was four years old.. tryna climb onto every
    table no matter the size lol

Honestly if I could get on tables I'd be an utter menace, they need to make tables solely for climbing as an exercise method because I would do it

KyliePearl @ Thu May 09, 2024 12:19 am

I gotta 4-year-old cousin who does this, he's a major goofball, but he climbs onto a table whenever he has something "important" to say or to tattle on his older sister.....

Not saying I didn't do it too; it was an awesome workout method until I got caught💪

[BRIGHT!] L8R!
by 67Phlox @ Thu May 09, 2024 8:38 am [Reply]

Stuck in something of my own making. :')
Yet still standing, despite all the odds.
So, don't worry! Even if I break from time to time, I'm pretty resilient ehaheaheahhae :lol:

If I may ask something regarding my "sketch shop", what would you prefer:
a) sketch "shop" reopening for a brief period of time (after I catch up) + closing consistently (Tue, Thur)?
b) sketch "shop" having its last run, closing; after some time (july) = an art request "shop" opening (sketches / coloured pieces like above + other; would only close on hiatus; still free)?

Haven't drawn anything but adopts recently so this was a fun little break. I forgot how fun flowers were to draw, lol.

I've also been drawing more animals lately. I go through phases I guess where sometimes I'm better at Humans and sometimes better at little creatures.

Sorry for how long it took to finish!! But here’s your design, a fox shapeshifter with a ferret companion!! I kinda liked the idea of them being a sort-of werefox that transforms only during twilight, when foxes are most active. That’s also why I gave them a ferret companion, since both animals are crepuscular :]
They have the same sectoral heterochromia in both forms, just inverted!

Image

I made 2 designs for you as thanks for the extra gifts :]

First one, based loosely on a green anaconda. Fun fact — snakes can move their ribs individually! I pictured them as being able to open up their ribs to access the plants growing inside, which could be magical or smth
Image

Second one, a utahraptor! They have a prosthetic leg and a mask made to resemble the original fossils/skeletal structure. The symbol on the shirt is a reference to the opisthotonic death pose, a position that dinosaur and bird fossils are commonly found in

Cat in a window 🐈‍⬛
by Emmyd1007 @ Wed May 08, 2024 12:35 pm [Reply]

What should I name him? X3


Edit: i think he found a bird..

Hawk WillowWatcher @ Wed May 08, 2024 2:37 pm

I’d say Oliver, what do you think?

Spiritstar3 @ Wed May 08, 2024 2:40 pm

He reminds me of a cat from an anime who was named Licht.
So Licht could work.

Nightshade or Nightsky could also work.

Emmyd1007 @ Wed May 08, 2024 3:33 pm

Spiritstar3, I'll keep those in mind.

commision for slifer
by berketexspet @ Wed May 08, 2024 1:00 pm Attachment(s) [Reply]

Hello chicken smoothie. today I have a commision. Today is a commision for Slifer i got 58 chicken dollars! It's a commsion for their cat bindi. It's pretty cute, but not as cute as my tomboy best friend's cat joga or that one cat I commsioned named oroboros. Actually, this guy has 2 cats! because jesus christ! look at that couch! ever heard of a thing called a lint roller? or a vacuum cleaner? or a damp paper towle? But hey, Bindi is such a cute kitty! pspspspspsp I want to pick him up he's so cute! Please do not say that this is bad or AI generated. It's one thing if I was just posting art, but I am actually making money from this so when you spread a toxic gossip train of lies and rumors to ruin my career that hurts my business. I get that you are jealous of the fact I am such a good artist but just do your own art instead of taking your anger out on me like what my mom does. Also, I'm commisioning anywhere between 3-58 chicken dollars for art because my mom spends her money on cigarettes instead of me so I need to do commisions for chicken dollars. And remember, the more chicken dollars, the more good the art! (the attached image is Bindi)

Have a smooth-tastic day!

♥ mizu @ Wed May 08, 2024 1:04 pm

the details that you captured in this are really great! i love how you can see each individual cat hair, berketexspet. 👍
