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:

You can choose "ChickenPaint v2.0" on your Oekaki settings page here:

slowly transcending into a swiftie because i just watched the whole eras tour and
now the songs are STUCK IN MY HEAD. especially "delicate" it's so summery??!

also hhh i'm not really angry just annoyed because. i feel like my friends don't
like me as much as they like my other friends aa it's making me CRA.ZY.

ANYWAYS how's everyone's evening/morning going??!
transparent text below!!
OK SO ON THURSDAY. Y'ALL WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED THURSDAY. so
basically my crush and a bunch of our classmates were playing a game and our
friend S (mentioned her before!) said "oh yeah [HIM!!] and vai like eachother :3"
and his FACE BECAME SO RED GUYS
then i said "NO WAY HES SHORT" and he was like "EXACTLY THANK YOU FOR THE
INSULT<333" and it was so cute

strangetales @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 6:05 am

is it chill that you're in my head?

Wildflower75 @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 1:57 pm

random note about Delicate: I remember when it first came out and so many of my friends were [ice] skating to it and I was just like "naw" and skated to If I Can't Have You. it's a vibe though (like my summer themesong, Cruel Summer, 100% so creative here)

hope things go well for you and your crush c: and good luck with your friends; that's always rough.

♥ mizu @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 4:55 pm

agh it sounds like your week/day has been bittersweet!! i'm sorry that your friends are making you feel that way. that's not a great feeling and i wish i could help :c

and oh my god?! i don't have the energy to format this and turn it transparent so i won't be detailed but that's AMAZING?! i'm squealing and kicking my feet for you omg!! vai that's so adorable!! awww!!!!!!!!!!

More than just a friend (ruethefangirl Request)

This was a request from ruethefangirl!

Okay well the request was to draw one of the characters listed, but since both Flintfang and Wildheart were listed and I noticed they were mates, I had to do some ship art for them!!

I hope you like the piece Rue!

♥ mizu @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 4:24 pm

So. My friend drew a cat, a weird fat looking blocky cat, with 'scruffy' fur known as Cornelius.
Eventually, this family, grew.
We each made a new cat. Mine is Critter (The red cat), his brothers Twixxler (The glasses cat) and Dementia. (The green cat.)
Now.. we thought about commutation.
NO. they are to stay brainless.
Critter only says "m o w." Twixxler says "YUH!!" And Dementia says "gnarp gnarp."

Eventually, this.. simple.. role play of a game grew. Until we had
Junior • Brother of Cornelius, huge 11'10.
Uppie • Sister of Luna, born horizontal.
Slushie • Sister of Luna, Born vertical.
SEVERAL OTHERS.

I would like to share this joy to the world to own one of these cats with health issues and have literally no brain. (It's obvious, they learn nothing) and share their stupidity.
Would anyone want a scruffy cat? Kitten? Creature?
Just post below. Tell me what you want. What is their personality?

Should this ever become a signature Uma?
I'd say the point of these weird looking cats, they simply, literally just exist- and they only know one word and simply stare at you, because- well.. they don't know how to do anything else.

ghostlad @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 4:06 pm

oh my god im so in love with these I need one in my signature immediately /nf

Introducing... Wobble. Wobble only says "bruh" and is unable to use tone so just sounds perpetually sarcastic lmao. They got their name from the fact that they would prefer to just nap and when forced to move to go outside with their friends, just kinda wobbles lazily out of a laying position. Would love for them to be orange (the silliest kind of cat) and with really small eyes <33

boolif @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 5:26 pm

theyre so adorbale!!

name: Gnorp (as in soda can)
personality: he doesnt know what that is, he just eepy boy, i mean incredibly eepy, i mean eepyilious, i mean the eepmeister
sound/word: he says NOM but tone changes to the point that it sometimes sounds like complete gibberish, but trust us hes still NOMing
quirks: hes either atom particle sized or house sized (he occasionally chomps on small homes). we do not know he does this.

he also may be an alien we arent sure

or he if he COULDVE thought he mightve thinked he was an alien

(also if i ever figure out how to put photos in my sig i deffo want one in there /nf<3)

hoof. @ Mon Apr 29, 2024 12:59 am

i need one omg
this is yarp
this lil guy only says "YARP" and looks vaguely like a floppy-eared dog? im pretty sure hes just a cat with "ears" and a "nose" made of construction paper taped on his own ears and nose though
it seems like he only says "YARP" to try to sound like a dog but i dont think hes fooling anybody
are those antennae? hm...i guess i was just seeing things
anyways, yarp seems to like to "YARP" at cars, other animals, and the mailman, though he usually doesnt do so until we mention that he hasnt done so in a while...it seems like he forgets
other than that, he just sits and watches tv with us with this weird blank stare and his tongue sort of sticking out (i call this yarp time)
weve also noticed that he doesnt wag his tails (yes multiple tails), in fact now that i look at them, i think theyre actually the straws that weve been missing, just taped onto his butt...who owned this guy before us and why did they try to make him look like a dog??

sakura is such a classic name, but i just couldn't resist it for her! i thought that this base was super duper cute so i relined it and i just think it's adorable. i love sakura very much <3 had a weird day.

some of my friends ghosted me which is super insulting so i'm going to confront them on monday and exercise my audacity to its full potential. other than that it was pretty good so yea! i'm super happy i got this girlie :)

It totally counts as working on the story to draw the characters as well (: At least in my opinion, because I tend to do the same thing when I don't feel like proofreading/editing/writing my stories. ^^,

And I love your style btw, I have been lurking about your gallery for a while now but never really commented, oops.
