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.

Creature
by Rocky Road Raccoon @ Fri May 03, 2024 8:05 am [Reply]

Another fella
A coati... creature lol
I personally... uhm... headcanoned? Is it a hc if it's my design not my character? Saw them? Saw them as hard of hearing, preferring to go by vibrations from sounds. Why? Because I'm hard of hearing and I wanted to lol. I imagine that like me, they can hear still a little, like words in a conversation [if the person speaks up good enough], but can't pick up on lots of sounds.
Another custom for Thousandsounds that's part of the order lol

i've missed doodling, this was really nice to make c: during my forced break i learned that i need to start focusing more on other irl things.

i want to start getting rid of things like pets and characters for art of the ones i really love, so if you or a friend have an art shop shoot me a pm and i'll check it out!

i'm not like... quitting? i'll still probably do oekaki for c$ to get some more for art but other than that i think i'll start transitioning to another stage in life c:

twig finds a cool rock
by EatingTuna @ Fri May 03, 2024 4:24 am [Reply]

doodle of the silly bambiraptor siblings!
i decided to give thorn and twig some differing feather designs (twig has more round?? feathers and thorn has feather tufts on their head, and more slim?? sharp?? feathers i think??) because i think its fun, i should really start figuring out lore for them, i do have abit but not much

sorry i havent been on much, some not good things have happened irl

i do really want to make a c4c soon, i really want more dino ocs but struggling abit to make my own (i do have some wip dino ocs, but i also love seeing how others design dino ocs) if anybody thinks a dino/prehistoric c4c would b cool let me know (i wouldn't return just dinos/prehistoric animals)

uuuh idk what more to say,,,, look at Cabbage, farewell

Oleander and Snow
by Stargazingwithbees @ Fri May 03, 2024 6:44 am [Reply]

They were such a cute ship sob

hardly anything was done on them and im quite sad about it tbh, they were so cute together and ABSOLUTELY would've made such a good power couple..

alas.. Snow dies, and Oleander panics, which leads to her demise too.. Good thing Osprey was there to save one of her two kits.

Fire AGAIN Rocky?
by Rocky Road Raccoon @ Fri May 03, 2024 4:24 am [Reply]

Dragon x Caracal
The sketch they looked like they were related to my character Trent looool. Me when ear tufts and spiky hair: omg it's Trent. That actually isn't hair, it's literal spikes.
In the concept art I drew them breathing fire which I didn't color like fire lol. I assume they, like the dinosaur i drew yesterday have fire powers lol. But unlike the dinosaur I drew yesterday, this guy has ALL the power and fury of a locked away deity.
as usual though my ideas are just ideas and ultimately it's your choice lol you can change their personality and make them a cute literal ray of sunshine if u want lol!
I just kind of unintentionally have a habit of giving characters I draw personalities and stories. It's hard not to when I'm designing them and coming up with ideas for them for hoursss.
This kiddo is for thousandsounds !

I imagine the crystal growths are from a curse... and they only started gaining the blue markings/eyes after the curse. BUT it's ur character do whatever you want with them!!
They aren't just an average wolf. They're a Dire Wolf! So they're HUGE. And tall! [On a side note I've always wanted to design a Sabertooth Tiger and Dire Wolf pair since I saw somethin abt them being rivals back in the day, though who knows since they're extinct lol]

the serviette squabble
by ♥ mizu @ Thu May 02, 2024 11:59 am [Reply]

guys i have A LOT to share with you. and also i've gotten like 5+ new follower notifs within the past few days so i just wanted to tell you guys that i do these silly little sketches and ramble pretty often. you're gonna see this a lot. i like to infodump and use the oekaki as my diary (i love responses and comments to it tho like it's not personal).

1. I MET GRETCHEN WIENERS GUYS OMGMGPOMG. and charles boyle, and the pontiac bandit. i don't want to share too much because a) i don't want to get sued for copyright and b) my own security, but they're filming something in my city. i was there as they were filming it. i have a photo with gretchen wieners, guys. i'll see if i can get it and crop it just so you can see her actress. she's absolutely GORGEOUS. my one thing is that i was going to get a retake photo with her because i looked stupid and my mouth was agape but she like. didn't even make eye contact with me lol. which is a-ok and i'm not offended because she's a person too and there was a lot going on. but you could tell she'd done this a million times and would forget about me in about 5 seconds. but guys. she also waved TO. ME. while they were filming and she came out, i waved. and she waved back!! i was the only one who waved!!!!!! AND SHE WAVED. OMG. isn't that crazy? i'm not a fangirl, but i am. my japanese friend called me an otaku, she said that means nerd. i told her she was a mimizuh, which means worm. she did not like that.

2. it is my birthday on friday :DDDD

3. my friends and i genuinely get really heated about this whenever it's brought up, and i'm being serious right now. i call serviettes, well, serviettes. and they call them napkins. i'm serious guys i don't want to argue about this anymore and i'm so sick of it because it's genuinely tiring. but it's called a serviette in canada, i'm sorry not sorry. if you call it a napkin you're either from toronto or have lost your canadian-anity to american media. canadian english was heavily influenced by french and we DO use french words like javel and serviette in normal english. i'm not apologising. but my friends basically called me hoity toity.

4. this leads me to my next point. my friends all seem to think i am astronomically wealthy (i am not). i don't know why. this is going to come off as very pretentious and i feel weird writing this because i don't want to be judged. i know this sounds snobby. but i'm going to let them continue to think that. the reason they think this is because i have 3 houses. when my friend (who i don't like), threatened to "bomb my house" i said, "which one" and she said "what" and that's how this started. yes i have 3 houses. 2 of them are on the main city's street, but we don't live there. we rent them out. we definitely could live there if we wanted to (my dad lived there for a while). but i live outside of town. i am not hoity toity. my friends said that i am like those little ladies with their "little teacups, little dresses, little cookies, and they go ooh! ahh!". they basically called me little victorian women. and yes that is the end goal for me. but i am NOT HOITY TOITY. ok. they are CONVINCED i have a lot of money. but i think it's because they're from asian countries and where they're from it's difficult to own more than one house.

another thing to note is that these people themselves are probably wealthier than i. they pay full tuition to go to this boarding school and one of my friends has lived in beijing for 54 generations. like that is.. INSANE. her parents are very high ranking officials and that's all that i can really say

5. GUYS OMGGUMGOI I THRIFTED SO MUCH GOOD STUFF TODAY. my dad is SO mad that i spent money on "garbage", but i'm not because it's almost my birthday. little does he know that it's also his money i spent! anyway. i bought this GIANT jellycat bunny. there was so much jellycat there today, all new with tags. i got a donkey for $4 and that giant rabbit for $8. i also got the mlp school of friendship castle for $6 which is such a dream! it's incomplete but that's ok! i am using it to display my models, but i need to clean it because it is kind of stinky.

i'm looking up the worth of the stuff i got rn on ebay to show you guys.

this is without shipping for the cheapest stuff i could find:
- $185 for the castle
- $90 for the big rabbit
- $~33 for the donkey

this is around $308 and that's without shipping. mind you, the castle is incomplete but the jellycats are NWT and incredibly soft. i don't collect jellycats but i have a few that i like because they're cute and soft. should i go back for the others? they were mainly rabbits i think. but i'm happy i found the jumbo one. here are some photos:

i might add the photo of gretchen here too idk

    YOU'RE SO LUCKY EEEEEEEEEEEEE

    2. EAJEAEKNEKJANEN GET READY FOR A MASSIVE GIFT >:)

    3. it's called a serviette in a lot of places???! i don't get why your friends are freaking out
    about that, it's kind of strange to be frank ;-;

    4. YOU ARE NOT HOITY TOITY!!! and having 3 houses is perfectly fine, i'm not rich either
    but my family owns four houses??! i think it's cool that your end goal is becoming a
    victorian woman though, it's the end goal for everyone isn't it

    5. NARFNLKJREARKLJREAJLIJ YOU DID NOT GET ALL OF THAT FOR SUCH A LOW PRICE???!!
    LUCKY YOU!!<3 i have to pay like 25 dollars to get a "jellycat yummy lamb" for my
    birthday SOBBING SCREAMING THROWING UP. and omg mlp school of friendship looks
    so cool what?!??!

Redraw Of An Old Drawing

    Had to search through my old image files on my laptop and stumbled across some very old art of mine. I have no memory of this fellow, but the file is called Chester. I signed the original Echoing Rain, which was a username I used on here for quite some time.

    Tbh you can tell I’m in an art block when I get stuck redrawing old art of mine. It just helps, ya know?
