Oekaki Rules and Information
by Tess @ Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:13 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.

Artwork I've been meaning to draw forever.

Obviously, based on my favorite CS pet:

Pet's name: Puppet

It has so much meaning to me.

A shell, a puppet, falling apart at the seams, for it cannot old the restless spirits inside. The emotions are running free, tearing apart the holder.

Being A Bully Isn't Cool
by lilly6 @ Sat May 11, 2013 3:11 am [Reply]

ok long story short behind this drawing, im tierd of people being bullies...ok so this kid in my art class was calling my best friend names, and when someone is being mean to any of my friends...their pretty much being mean to me to...b/c when my friends feeling are hurt, mine are hurt to even if im not the one being bullied...but anyway my friend wanted me to draw a pic of an angery wolf to express her feeling through my drawing..mine are express through it also...so hope you like it, and its not cool to be a bully, and i dont care what your friends say, its not cool.

Insane Author @ Sat May 11, 2013 6:50 am

The same thing keeps happening to me and my friends. Why do people think it's "cool" to bully?

this is a very well-dawn wolf!

Umm. Wow. This started off as a bit of an experiment with the colour purple (because I almost never use it for some reason). I ended with this. I'm not even sure how I ended up with this. XDXD

Well I hope you guys enjoy.

I swear one day I'll actually spend more than an hour on a CS drawing.

{EDIT} OH MY GOSH A FEATURE?! Thanks everyone for the support, and I have to say this was a surprise for me!

Comments are welcome <3 I also kinda wanted to try just drawing for fun, and not really making something super important such as a character, but rather just create something for the pure joy of creating it. I'm happy with the outcome. :)

Stuck Out in the Rain
by Chii-sai @ Thu May 16, 2013 12:30 pm [Reply]

Well, I had this realization. If TLK was based off of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet", and the second one was based off of "Romeo and Juliet", also by Shakespeare, so should the third one! So these are Kovu and Kiara's daughters.

The eldest is Kirukanjia- Kanji for short- which means "shrew", and Nyuepe, which means "white".

So, anybody guess which of his works I'm basing them off of?

If you guessed "The Taming of the Shrew", you're correct! Because Kate is the shrew, I wanted to name the eldest the Swahili word meaning "shrew", and Kate's sister's name is Bianca, meaning "white", so Nyuepe.

I plan on doing quite a few more pictures of these two in the future.

Comments and critique welcomed!

Emerald Glitter
by ~Koda~ @ Sat Jan 26, 2013 2:08 pm [Reply]

Introducing the new and improved Emerald Glitter!
Her design is probably now final. I don't like the colour pink, but hot pink did suit her and I can put up with it. And the light pink spots in the background remind me of musk lollies.... mmmmmm.....
This is based off the original drawing I did of her final design yesterday. Although, the paper version was a lot less sucky.

Edit: Ok, who moved this to Intermediate..? YOU NEED A HUG!

These battle scars..
by Belldandy @ Thu May 09, 2013 4:38 pm [Reply]

"don’t look like they’re fading
Don’t look like they’re ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battles..

I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
Cause I’m the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren’t the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it’ll never be over, until you tell me it's over."

Treeshroud Forest
by Snowflight @ Sun May 19, 2013 5:50 am [Reply]

The Earlier Team Eclipse as they trek through Treeshroud Forest with Grovyle.
Personally, I believe this would be my proudest work yet. I used WAY TOO MANY references for the Riolu, hence they are kind of tough to draw when you've only seen the pixel body of them and an illustrated head. Since I never did really use a specific ref, I will post none. I looked at various ones.
For the Eevee and Grovyle, I've been practicing them quite enough to get them down without any refs.

Timer is halfway true. I spent a boot load of time working on this, so I hope you like it!
