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.

commision for arcielle
by berketexspet @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:59 am Attachment(s) [Reply]

hello chicken smoothie. Today i have a commision... and an apology. today is a commsion for arcielle. this is their 2 cats. THEY'RE SO CUTE. the one is loafing it's adorable. whenever i see a cat doing that i want to pick it up. i want to boop it's little nose. However, i want to apologize to not just my fans, but to all of chicken smoothie. I'll be honest, i let the fame and money go to my head. i thought that with my money that i've been given (over 1k smoodles) i was... better than everyone else. but money doesn't determine your self worth, it's who you are as a person. i realized that i still need my chicken smoothie friends. thank you to tsubear and my tomboy best friend berketex for making me realize. without you i don't know where i would be today. when my tomboy best friend said to me "your talent is being overshadowed by your pretentiousness…i miss the old berketexspet…the one i fell in love with ………" that... that changed me for the better. From now on. i will be more humble, even if you are poor and my razer huntsman v2 TKL quartz pink edition is worth more than what most peopel have in their bank account. I am commisioning anywhere between 3-58 chicken dollars for art because my mom spends her money on cigarettes instead of me. and remember, the more chicken dollars, the more good the art! (the attached images are arcielle's pets)

Have a smooth-tastic day!

♥ mizu @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 12:01 pm

this is such great character development. and amazing art as always, you really made my day smooth-tastic !

commision for DEMONPOOR
by berketexspet @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:19 am Attachment(s) [Reply]

Hello chicken smoothie. today i have a commision. i have 3 commisions today so yeah look forward for that. this is a commision for DEMONCORE's smooth. woah, it looks pretty cool. "why did you call him demonpoor in the title" -you guys say. heh, well this PEASANT commisioned only 3 chicken smoothie dollars. HA peasant. I tried a little bit because he also gave me an extremely uncommon butterfly wolf. but it still looks better then anything these people put up on oekaki boards. yes, i know that i do offer commisions for this low, but really? stop being poor. I'm living that fast life now. i have over 1k smoodles and i'm saving up for sunback (I know that i like butterfly wolves more than dogs but hey, IT'S SUNBACK). Please do not say that this is bad or AI generated. I still worked hard on this and i only used my brain on this. I will report you and i can probably hire someone at this point to meet up with you in person and mess you up if you dare slander my name. I'm worth a lot now so TRY ME. I'm commisioning anywhere between 3-58 chicken smoothie dollars for art because my mom spends all her money on cigarettes, shes smoking over 2 packs a day now so yeah. and remember, the more chicken dollars the more good the art!

Have a smooth-tastic day!

♥ mizu @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:29 am

i was shocked when you said this wasn't ai! this is beautiful. i'm tempted to say this is ai just so you can come to my house to beat me up so i can meet you. do you think you could sell your mom's possessions to get some c$ on the side?

tsu-bear @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:33 am

berketexespet your day one fans do not appreciate your high and mighty attitude, just because you have money doesn't mean you're better than everyone else its very rude to call the people you made you rich (your commissioners), poor

still very wonderful art

shadow~wolf @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 10:03 am

might go in and color idk

i won't draw her again on here today but. i recently made her and man, she's got to be one of my new favorite characters.
would talk about her but tbh this would go on for a long time if i did, can't help rambling on my ocs ;;

honestly i want art of her a ton so open to art trades, any kind works—doodles, sketches, literally doesn't have to be much lol. check my th for examples if you're interested :D i do have to add more examples though
she's primarily an anthro character but can be drawn feral as well!

Robo Octopus
by rainbowpanda101 @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 2:50 pm [Reply]

TA DA! -jazz hands- Another new character! This time it's a robot octopus!
This lil guy is about the size of a common octopus and has 8 robotic arms.
The pupil inside of the the big eyeball can change, showing regular pupils or even emoji faces.
The black around his eye is a flexible membrane like an eyelid that adds to his expressions.

I wanna give him a name like Mojo Jojo, but I haven't got any ideas. T_T
Name suggestions would be appreciated! ~<3

I used an animal generator loll so they're meant to be a african civet
they were supposed to be a mysterious thief but they look like a yucky super hero I want to burn this design lol but by the time I realized the pallet wouldn't work with the theme I had lines and colors down already
like I usually say I hate a design but this one OH BOY frustrates me beyond belief
I might genuinely retry this with a different animal and theme

Tripp Wire

"If the world doesn't make you happy, change the world completely to your own liking... then, you'll rule your OWN world! And everyone else... well... they're just living in it..."
Tripp was a lilac tabby I drew awhile ago who looked incredibly ugly. So I redid him this morning instead of funnies. Much better imo.I finally think I nailed the lilac color.
Also, in the original art, he looked cheerful. Which wasn't the intention. There's something very, very malevolent under the surface.

Commision for crumb
by berketexspet @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 6:26 am Attachment(s) [Reply]

Hello chicken smoothie. today i have a commision. It's a commision for crumb. It's a commision for their smooth.It's a commision worth 35 chicken dollars and he likes aliens andcherry blossom trees. i like cherry blossom trees. I like cherry blossom trees, but i'm afraid of aliens. i like alienware (just their monitors and keyboards and laptops, everything else sucks) but aliens... maybe some could be nice but i'm afraid of an alien invasion. since crumb's dog is also gay, I added the BTS logo! because the bts guys are pretty hot, jin is my favorite. My tomboy best friend berketex doesn't like BTS or k-pop music but she is also poor so her opinion does not matter. (my keyboard is worth more than her computer) speaking of poor, i didn't try on the face because i only got 35 chicken dollars. stop being poor and i MIGHT fix the face next time. please do not say that this is bad or ai generated. i only ever use my noodle, computer, and chicken paint software, WHICH DOEN'T EVEN HAVE AN AI GENERATER. any accusations about me using ai will result in a cease and disist letter like what super mario logan got. i'm not playing around here. I'm also commisioning anywhere between 3-58 chicken smoothie dollars for art because my mom thinks that cigarettes are more important than buying me chicken dollars. And remember, the more chicken dollars, the more good the art!

Have a smooth-tastic day!

crumb @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 6:40 am

FANTASTIC AS ALWAYS!!! thank you so much, you did my pet etho creature justice. his face is a littlr weird so you captured it perfectly 🧡 thank you for the art i can't wait to see what else you create!
