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.

Paisley the Patient
by plaidlion @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:50 am [Reply]

My spouse ResidentRook and I have discussed before what our four cats would be as Dungeons & Dragons classes... so naturally I had to draw them. Paisley is our oldest, is very petite, and is my absolute baby. She fits a paladin well - gentle, caring, but can lay down the law when she needs to.

Hawk WillowWatcher @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:54 am

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ResidentRook @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 12:55 pm

AWWW our sweet Paisley got featured!!!! <3

ItsAsher0 @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 12:57 pm

This is stunning! The details are amazing and Paisley seems like such a sweet cat!! Love the design! I'd love to get art from you one day if you ever have a shop <33

My new sona, Three

You might be seeing a little more of me around; I got a new standalone drawing tablet; I don't like the way brushes feel on the art programs it came with, but oekaki feels good to draw with it so I may post here and there when I doodle on it

Sorry I kinda dropped off the face of the world for a while, I feel bad cause there are people here I genuinely consider friends/love to see around
My life hit a rough patch; lost my main friend group (realized they were toxic/didnt really care and left); lost my job (toxic management); nearly lost 2/3 of my only real family (lung failure, than sudden unexpected stroke); ended up at a new job with awful management barely scraping by while caring for my family; had to deal with my car failing on me; eating away my savings. it was like a year ago my life totally fell apart, yknow? sometimes it happens

Anyways, things are finally starting to come together; I toughed out and outlasted bad management and finally have a new career in view- im making more than i've ever made, I have a new friend group and new best friend; i've reconnected with lost family and friends and I have some hope for the future for the first time in a while; which is nice (Having that positivity of coming through the smoke and flames stronger and ready to face what's in front of me, if that makes sense; its a good feeling)

Art and online things unfortunately fell by the wayside while I was doing work things and trying to hold it together but thats what this new tablet's for! so I can try to draw in my downtime and lunch breaks at work as well as try to keep up with some stuff

Which, I have SO MANY things I want to do and projects I want to work on, I miss drawing just for drawing sake, drawing just to make people happy cause it makes me happy too; so we'll see what I actually can return to/work on;

So hiya, im somewhat back (kinda); but still pretty busy with my job and stuff; but it's good to see y'all anyway, I hope everyone's doing well; I'm sorry I vanished a bit here and there (it was not my choice, life just got as IN THE WAY as possible) But I'll try and see what I can do to make it up or finish older stuff just for completion sake; and maybe if I'm feeling like it I'll post some little side projects here and there

COOLDOGOOO @ Mon Apr 29, 2024 3:37 am

its so great to see you around again, six! <33 i really missed your art, as i looked up to you a lot <33

im so sorry to hear all that, life can be quite crazy sometimes <33 i myself went through something slightly similar with the toxic relationships thing, but ive gotten over it now <3

im extremely glad to hear that things are getting better for you! honestly im still busy irl so i cant writ as much but im seriously so glad that things are getting better for you now, and i hope that it continues to flourish <33

KingOfTheWildThings @ Mon Apr 29, 2024 4:23 am

Hi six ! It’s good to see you .

I’m so so sorry you had to go through all of that . I hope things keep looking up for you know

Madel @ Mon Apr 29, 2024 5:00 am

I’m happy to see your back! Proud of you for leaving a toxic friend group, I know it can be hard but the important this is that you’re out of it now. It’s good to hear you’re in a better friend group now, too!
As for work, I wish you the best of luck. I’m struggling a bit too so I totally get what you’re going through. Keep going, you’ve got this! All of us believe in you :)

Hi, yes sorry another drawing.

I'm trying to figure out my artstyle. Irl I usually just do abstract stuff, but I can't seem to get that to translate well on here so I'm trying different things.

I don't do faces well, obviously 💀 but I'm trying. Feedback is appreciated if anyone sees this. I can't wrap my head around the way some of the artwork on here looks.

Anyway. Enjoy this pig character I made bc it seemed easier than a wolf character rn.

boolif @ Fri Apr 26, 2024 4:56 pm

its so cute!! i really reccomend trying ibis paint if youre trying to transfer to traditional to digital. and as much as i love oekaki and this site it can be REAL difficult to figure out sometimes and it humbles me tremendously compared to what i can do on ibis. i think it just comes down to practice with it for awhile im not to amazing on here but ive gotten alot better. what helped me out was making adopts on bases to get used to the brushes and settings and doing line edits to the base. i love your art and think its amazing!! hope this helps<3

commision for generic gadget
by berketexspet @ Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:12 am Attachment(s) [Reply]

*heavy sigh* hello chicken smoothi. today is a sad day. today i did a commision for someone named generic gadget. this is their oc named ariadne edevane.It's a pretty good oc, and they are a character not drawn in 2d but she is a 3d render like a skyrim character i think? "why are you sad" - you guys ask. well, today i was doing the commision but i don't like the drawing. someone saw it in school today and laughed at me. now that i'm looking at it the ears are too big and she looks old and i hope this doesn't ruin my credibility as an artist. usually i try my best to make sure nobody says my art is bad or AI generated, but go on, you can do it this time. i don't care. It's not ai generated but if you think it is i won't blame you. I'm commisioning art for anywhere between 3-58 chicken smoothie dollars, the more chicken dollars, the more good the art. But I probably deserve only up to 10 at most because everyone at my school thinks i'm a bad artist. (the attached image is ariadne edevane)

Have a smooth-tastic day!

commision for bug;
by berketexspet @ Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:27 pm Attachment(s) [Reply]

Hello chicken smoothie. today i have a commision for an OC. This is a commision for bug;. his name is Vinny. Vinny is a rabbit (i think) and he is 6'3" and he is TRANS GENDER. that means he was born a female, however identifies and lives as a male. That's pretty cool, girls have cooties anyways. (guys everyone is welcome i don't actually believe in cooties anymore women are cool). this is also the third commison i got from someone in the LGBTQ+ community! my oekaki board is looking like a pride parade! He likes guitars and cameras, so that's why i drew him on a guitar island! instead of having to carry around that guitar, he can just play the ground! how cool is that? please do not say that this is bad or AI generated. AI ART IS NOT REAL ART. YOU ARE NOT A REAL ARTIST IF YOU USE AI GENERATORS. IF YOU SAY I USE AI I WILL REPORT YOU AND I WILL CALL THE POLIECE. you will get banned for harassing me, and you will go to jail for slander. that's a maximum of a year in prison and a fine of up to $3,000 (real dollars not chicken smoothie dollar). so STOP ACCUSING ME OF USING AI IN MY ART CHICKEN PAINT DOES NOT HAVE AN AI TOOL SO HOW WILL I USE AI IN MY ART?!?!?!?!? also, i am commisioning anywhere between 3 - 58 chicken smoothie dollars for art because my mom spends her money on cigarettes and alchol instead of me. remember the more chicken dollars, the more good the art! (the attached image is Vinny character sheet)

have a smooth-tastic day!

I just wanna say this design SLAPS, I love this girl

      have you ever gotten everything
      you ever wanted?

      no.
      but i once got very close.

      i spent so much time making sure it wouldn't happen again
      but here i am and it's happening again

      i wish i still knew how to cry about one thing at a time
      i wish i still knew how to believe in anything


      ^ above are quotes that inspired this piece! i'm ok i promise! i just thought these quotes had REALLY INTENSE VIBES and i wanted to try and convey some of that heaviness with experimental linework and a chickenscratch style! it fits Spooksy's character AND it's a lot of fun. I always enjoy trying to express emotion (and otherwise do fun, weird stuff) with my lineart. :3
