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.

🦅🦅🦅🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🔥🔥🔥 WHAT THE HECK IS A NORMAL CHILDHOOD????

Finally did Eaglepaw on these lines. I think I may have been unable to figure out how to do his ear and that's why I didn't do it after Silverpaw's ?? but here we go. Still some goated lines. 😌👌
wrong forum btw, it's supposed to be in 'colored-in' but my mind just registered animal, like yEAh iT's aN aNiMaL aLriGhT

idk which design for raitsu i like better but the original joke for this doodle was that raitsu has a very similar palette to a certain beast from the manga Dungeon Meshi so it kindof falls apart if i use the new (magpie) design. rip i had this in my drafts for a while before i tried out the magpie design lol

relined the base (it said line edits are allowed) and i really like it! this is daydream sonata, the princess of music and arts. it's 3 am but i was so stressed out by today i had to colour this to calm down

awkward
by ♥ mizu @ Thu Apr 25, 2024 5:19 pm [Reply]

it happened guys. he confessed to me 😭😭😭

i just. idk. i told him we are good friends and that's ok but i don't know if he understood. but now it's awkward because a) what if he doesn't come to school tomorrow and b) he was SHAKING. i gave him my number and the poor boy was shaking and trembling with nerves. i feel bad. this poor boy. he adores me 😭😭💖💖💖💖 i don't want to be his roman empire istg (or maybe i do idk)

i was totally chill about it but the rest of the day i was kind of jittery. talked about it with my best friend and she helped me through it but i just don't want it getting around because a) i hate drama and b) i'm not putting this poor boy through that. he does not deserve to feel watched because i'm speaking from experience when i say the WHOLE girl group starts watching the boys under a microscope.

idk. i try to sit with him at lunch because i don't want him sitting alone but what do i do now. if i sit with him, it'll be weird and like i'm leading him on. if i don't, i could hurt him. i might have to hurt him though. that's the sad part. i can hurt people and i have in the past but it's different when you can't express your thoughts fully because of a language barrier. i don't want him simmering with his insecurities. i just want to tell him i want to continue being friends. 😭

i've gotten some comments on my other posts i haven't responded to yet and i just want to say that i will. im just anxious rn sorry guys

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
coming from a person who has no (good) experience with this i know that it's hard deciding
whether to sit with him or ignore him - i don't know this boy at all so i can't tell you exactly
what you should do but i feel like, even if he doesn't understand, you should bring it up
and tell him that you don't want to hurt him but that you're not in love with him, but you
love him as a friend?

omg this makes me so nervous because.. it's a human being😭 but if you trust yourself i'm
sure everything will go well<3
(also what you're so lucky??!!)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
honestly i might do it. he wasn't at school today which is.. odd because he's been here all week so far. he has a medical thing so he RARELY comes but i think maybe he was coming to see me. and he still hasn't responded to my original text. honestly, i do trust myself and my decision - as much as it, objectively, sucks that it hurts him, i'm not really responsible for other people's feelings. yknow? and i feel like he might be in a worse place mentally than me. i was thinking about this earlier. it wouldn't be healthy for either of us. i'm definitely thinking too hard about this but the fact that he was shaking is what's stuck with me. ;0;

thank you for the advice vai!!

holy cow guys. i'm actually so proud of this 😭😭😭💖💖 i think it looks SO cute and i'm so happy with how it turned out!!! i was SO anxious about the hair since i hate drawing hair, but... i got through it! i'm so excited to share this with you guys omg. i love it so much 😭😭

this is sephora, who i got from rebel! i've been anxious about drawing her a full piece because her braid scares me, but yeah - i got her done and i LOVE her!!!!! it's currently 3:12 and i wanted to go to sleep HOURS ago, but i just.. i couldn't resist finishing this. i hope you guys like it 😭😭
