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.

One (1) Baby
by Rocky Road Raccoon @ Wed May 01, 2024 10:21 am [Reply]

Wolverine baby!! Based off of water and I couldn't not add the duck hat cuz the pallet reminded me of ur other duck baby <3
I thought it'd be funny to make a wolverine, notoriously grouchy animals, really sweet and cute! The markings are based on bubbles and ducks/geese lol
Also sorry for no personal art today! I didn't have the time this morning!
A custom for thousandsounds !

chicken smoothie as an mlp oc!
by ♥ mizu @ Mon Apr 29, 2024 4:32 pm [Reply]

WHEW. i just got this idea and was like. i NEED to draw this. NOW. so i sat down and drew til i was done!! and actually? i'm really happy with how this turned out. i think my art recently has been super cute and i've produced some of my best work this month :3

i'd imagine that chicken smoothie, if they were a pony, would be a pegasus. she likes to fly around with her buddy, totoro, and take care of animals. she plays WAY too many video games and really loves to organize her room lol. she's super good at organizing her (many) collections of stamps, stuffies, artwork, and clothes. smoothie is super sweet and easy to get along with! she's classic and will always live in the 2010s - hence the cute space buns.

mods if you wanna put this under fanart i'd love that!! :D

Hypomania @ Mon Apr 29, 2024 4:36 pm

commision for arcielle
by berketexspet @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:59 am [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 !

EPIC! @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 12:05 pm

so proud of you berketexspet and the art is awesome as always thank you for sharing with us on chciknemsoothie

berketex @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 12:10 pm

you are so smart and nice and i love you and cute kitties like you !!!!

commision for DEMONPOOR
by berketexspet @ Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:19 am [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

hi again everyone!

i havent been feeling my best so thats why i sorta just disappeared for a while
but i decided to doodle a litle something!

this is my more cartoon-ish style idk if you guys like it but lmk what you think of it!
you may have seen it in my old art (avatars and such) lol that time it looked awful . it still looks better on paper tho lol

anyways if anybody would want a piece of their character in a style lkie this im currently looking for usd! <3 ill also consider c$ and potentially art

i dont really have a set price so really just offer what youd like for any if you do want some

but to be fair im actually sorta proud of this!
