Oekaki Rules and Information
by Tess @ Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:14 am [Reply]

All images made in the oekaki board must follow our general Art Rules - however, there are some extra rules specific to the Oekaki that you should be aware of;

Oekaki-specific Rules

What you should do:

  • Keep comments polite, helpful, and relevant to the artwork. Critique is allowed if requested by the artist - but bare insults are not welcome here.
  • Make an effort to post your drawing in the correct board. For example, if you color in an Editable drawing, post it into the 'Colored-in' board. If you are new to oekaki and your artwork isn't of a very high standard yet, post in the Beginners board until you've had more practice.
  • If using an editable, 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.
What you shouldn't do:
  • Don't post excessively bloody/gory/violent images, nudity, or anything else which might be inappropriate for younger viewers.
  • Do not post blank canvases in the contests board. Contests may be posted there only if you provide a lineart or 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.
  • Don't make Oekaki drawings with just words or puzzles written on them. The oekaki is for sharing artwork, not for displaying a message or playing a forum game.
  • Don't spam the oekaki with random 10 second scribbles or advertisements and trade requests.
  • Religious themes are allowed in most boards EXCEPT in the Editable or Adoptable boards. Please keep these images for the Beginners, Intermediate, or Sketches boards instead.
  • Don't post offensive images imposing your beliefs on others. You are free to express your beliefs in a peaceful way, but not by hating on or denouncing any other person or group of people.

Selecting a different version of ChibiPaint
We have 2 versions of ChibiPaint to choose from. The newer version (ChibiPaint v2.0) allows you to use extra features like rotating your canvas.
You can choose "ChibiPaint v2.0" on your Oekaki settings page here:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/settings.php

Help:
If you don't know how to get started, go to the Beginner Oekaki. When you create a 'New Topic' it will load ChibiPaint 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does art get 'featured' for the front page?
Featured art is hand-picked by a staff member to make it appear on the front page. Only recent artwork can appear in the featured box. The lucky artists are chosen if we think their drawing is particularly beautiful or creative and deserving of special attention. Often some of the site's 'best' artwork doesn't get featured because we believe it will attract enough attention on it's own.

Will you feature my artwork please?
We don't take requests or recommendations. There are not many places available for featured art, so many people just miss out. Don't take it personally, if you haven't been featured then your drawing is just one among tens of thousands which didn't get featured that week. It doesn't mean we think you're unworthy, it just means you're not incredibly lucky.

How does art get into the "most popular" categories?
The "most popular" boards are sorted automatically based on the number of "likes" they have. They are set up to include the top images from a range of different boards so that even Beginners and Sketches have a chance of being displayed amongst the top Intermediate artwork.

Can COPPA users post in the oekaki?
Yes, but all of their posts require post approval from a moderator before they appear in the forum.

I'm a COPPA user. What happened to my post? When will it be approved?
If you don't see your recent post appearing in the oekaki boards then it is probably waiting for a staff member to approve it. This might take a few minutes, or a few hours, depending on how many staff are available right now. Please be patient, staff have to read and approve nearly 1000 posts per day, sometimes it just takes a while for yours to be seen.

Dust Bunnehs <3
by .Vetinater. @ Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:11 pm [Reply]

So yeahhh... this is a species that I thought up years ago (back in around.. 2009?). I've used their species on a now-extinct adoptables website, but the species is owned by moi, so I can use these wherever. ouo I've been thinking of making them adoptables here on CS... but only if a majority of the good folks here agree~
Otherwise, they are a private little species that I own.
Here's some info on them:

Dust Bunnehs (DB's) are small, caterpillar-like creatures that inhabit the dustiest parts of anywhere really. They are mostly found in barns, buildings, and attics that haven't been touched for years on end, and are quite shy to humans consequently. If you're lucky, you might be able to bond with one -- but be sure never to leave him/her unsupervised! Dust Bunnehs are extremely curious, and they think they can get away with just about anything.
Adult Dust Bunnehs sizes range from 1.5 inches to 3 inches long. They don't get much longer than the smallest finger on your hand, save rare occassions. c:
DB's have fuzzy round feet that include some special gecko-like padding on the bottom, which allows them to stick to most surfaces. Their "ears" are made up of the same material as their soft downy fur, and yet they are very flexible and feather-like. All Dust Bunnehs have a pair of thin antennae on their heads (to make up for their poor sight), but these can be shaped differently depending on the DB. Some antennae may be strait and short, and others may be long and curly; like I said, it varies!
DB's get very attached to what they bond with, whether it be a human, animal, or thing. A Dust Bunneh's bond is never broken. Ever.

So... what do you all think of my little secret love species? ;u;

A piece of advice- there's a bar labeled smoothing, increasing it allows you to smooth your lines and it help me when I don't use a tablet.
Another thing is that Chinese characters tend to taper off at the ends, I can't do it properly with a mouse at the moment, but you kinda get the idea. Feel free to use this.

My first time drawing TLK style. :P failure.... Anyways, this is my character Jet. He is the son of Scar and Zira, which may be why he looks so much like them here... More than he is supposed to.
