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.

ufo sighting [story!!]
by ♥ mizu @ Wed May 15, 2024 12:30 pm [Reply]

i literally just got her and wanted to draw something, so here's this :D

a young abby was nestled under her warm covers, dreading the looming school day the next morning. summer nights always had a faint buzz to them, and she wasn't about to let that go; staying up late was one of her favourite things to do. she'd spent all summer stargazing, hoping to see some anomaly. she'd wished upon a few stars, prayed to luna - which, frankly, did nothing because the little filly never stayed asleep long enough for the princess to visit her. abby pouted a little, then turned over to at least say she'd tried.

suddenly, her ears twitched. a metallic sound filled the air - it was quiet, but high enough pitched that her sensitive ears cringed. abby threw off of her covers, launching herself out of her bed and through the house to the front door, not caring if she made a racket or not. outside of her rural home, she looked into the midnight sky.

abby's jaw dropped, her body trembling violently in shock. an absolutely ginormous metal disc covered the light of the moon, replacing it with a glaring, artificial luminosity that made her tear up.

both her and the object simply stood there, observing each other. abby wasn't necessarily scared, but looking at it made her uncomfortable. she didn't even notice the cutiemark appearing on her little flank: a warning label. it pulsed vibrantly, almost as if it was trying to combat the spotlight that the UFO had created. or, perhaps, like it was.. communicating.. with it.

abby shook her head, not believing what she was seeing. as soon as her eyes opened again, the disc was gone and the sky was as empty as it should've been. abby jumped, even more frazzled than she'd been when she first came out. the little filly's eyes searched the sky desperately - it should've been there! how could it've left so soon? when she couldn't find it, abby returned to her doorstep. her parents didn't believe her farfetched story, blaming it on her lack of sleep. they urged her to go wash the dirt off of her hooves before going back to bed, instead. she obliged.

flicking the lightswitch in the bathroom, abby instinctively looked into the mirror. admiring herself as one does, her eyes trailed down to the new mark on her flank eventually and, for the second time that night, her jaw dropped. tears of joy welled in her eyes this time, and she squealed! abby ran to her parents, pointing at her bum and jumping up and down.

absolutely sure of what she'd seen now, the filly promised herself she'd find proof of extraterrestrial life one day.

Hello chicken smoothie. today i have a drawing i did myself. today is a drawing of the rare butterfly wolf that people were wanting for the chickens smoothie birthday event. that was a while ago. oh boy am i going down memory lane or what? Im making this during lunch and someone said this was very accurate. This is one of my favorite smooths and his name is proton. I didn't make that name by myself, it was made by chicken smoothie automatically so don't give me credit for that. but what you SHOULD give me credit for is the art. Please do not say that this is bad or ai generated. I've gone overboard for what i was saying i would do if you said my art is bad or ai generated and for that i apologize. i did not mean it however I would cry if someone said that. Imagine if YOU spent hours on your work just to be slandered. although this smooth is very rare, I will trade it for sunback, pastel dog, or an OMG SO RARE butterfly wolf. 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 proton)

Have a smooth-tastic day!

depressedanonymous, @ Thu May 16, 2024 3:54 am

“am i going down memory lane or what” is killing me

puffy @ Thu May 16, 2024 6:54 am

captured proton's essence wonderfully. One of your best smooths yet!

バイバイ、ゴジラ!
by SnowyEevee @ Thu May 16, 2024 6:16 am [Reply]

(title translates to "Bye-bye, Godzilla!"
despite what the title says, this isnt my last Godzilla oekaki, im still in my Godzilla phase, but Godzilla Final Wars was originally the last Godzilla movie (then 2014 revived the franchise)
speaking of Final Wars, i have barely drawn FW Goji, the only oekaki of him is literally just a follower check, so i wanted to draw em again bc he has a pretty cool design ngl
was listening to Ending from Godzilla Final Wars while drawin this
