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:

You can choose "ChickenPaint v2.0" on your Oekaki settings page here:

Test Again based on this drawing by ItsAsher0
by ItsAsher0 @ Tue May 28, 2024 5:32 am [Reply]

Pulled a few more wings of fire ocs from video games and my old journal lol

I don't like how this turned out but I think I captured their image pretty well-
Everyone saw the top 3 dragons so I'm introducing a few others :3
(Also renamed melancholy)

If anyone can guess what hybrids the new dragons are I'll draw your WoF oc.. probably not whole body though because I can't draw dragons that well clearly

Aspen is Albino, so it's pretty covered up besides one trait.

Hm... okay, 2nd guess (if that's allowed LMAO)

Sandwing/Seawing....? the curved "fin"like shape and the dots under the eye lead me to believe that, interesting mix if so!

Nightwing/Mudwing then? Darker color pallet, dark grey eye whites.. (this one is 100% a guess LOL)

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DESIGN A DESIGN SO I CAN TRADE IT FOR OTHER CHARACTERS OR DESIGNS :sob:
technically a redesign of one of my super old designs that never sold, like YEARS ago
however if anybody is interested in this baby feel free to offer!!

funny thing, I've never drawn my Wof hybrid ocs until now
Big Noctis redesign though (Nightwing in the left) probably won't stay.
I'll probably delete this I lost motivation and I don't like it LOL

Octane: 'Let me go. I can pass somewhat as a Nightwing. You won't."
[Seawing/Nightwing]

Bane: 'Three moons, leave me alone will you?'
[Nightwing/Sandwing]

Octane: "What do you expect me to do? Neither of you look close enough to fit a Nightwing look!"

Noctis: 'You don't have that big of a chance, either."
[Nightwing/Icewing]

Country Based based on this drawing by sweathie
by iloveflowers @ Tue May 28, 2024 10:13 am [Reply]

1. Congo: This one is kind of basic but I didn't know what to do
2. Panama: This one is prob the most detailed one, I incorporated the stars on the flag into the design
3. Switzerland: The flag for this country isn't very detailed so I left it pretty blank with just red shades
4. Germany: This one again does not have a very detailed flag, but I did my best by incorporating the colors into a small fade

Let me know what ones your fav!

Wild Butterfly
by Rocky Road Raccoon @ Tue May 28, 2024 5:18 am [Reply]

Eh
I intended them to be a lion x tiger x jaguar x leopard hybrid. All the big cats. They also were meant to be a werebeast hence the strong front legs and the sharp talons bc that's just how I draw em LOl [I imagine they can go on two legs as well but prefer not to]
They're a chimera of a melanistic leopard and a regular colored leopard. The pink and purple bits are just dyed/painted
I initially was gonna try to put them up but once again I'm pretty meh on this, I DO like that I added the pink and purple accents tho they're pretty

So at some point as a kid I decided I sucked at drawing horses and would never be able to draw them
It then crossed my mind recently that I may now be able to actually draw a horse😂 so to prove me kid self wrong, here is a successful drawing of a horse

also I'm super happy right now because I just bought the collectors editions
of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom- even though I haven't even read the books yet 😂

arcadia. @ Mon May 27, 2024 12:14 pm

Welcome to Asher's

''Hey. As a thank you
to all of the people who have shown
interest in Asher's adopts.. He would
like to return a thank you gift to those
who have stuck around, and those recent.''

Art by Plunch

Character: Atticus

As everyone is aware that my 11 pup liminal batch and my 6 Pup liminal space batch is still ongoing, I may close these early for the event!

As a thank you to my recent and old followers, i plan on opening a larger batch of customs for all of my followers <3 each with an individual side headshot drawing, colored and shaded. (example 1, example 2.)

Of course, if you would rather I drew a character of your own instead of getting a custom- I can do that too! Although it will most likely be lined or lineless- I cannot do most equines, mech, and I cannot do humans (I also struggle with wings ;w;) I can slightly do dragons.. example. No flat faced Anthro or feral please!

I do not mind if you follow me now for the gift. But I'd rather if you followed because you want to and may be interested in future batches, not just for this.

1. Just comment and let me know a mood board, song, etc. whatever you'd like as inspiration. I will take it! I dont mind at all! My PMs are open if you'd rather your request was private, or if you just don't want to comment/etc.
Form below!

Art of Your own character:

Code: Select all: [size=150][color=#5d538f][b]I want Art! [/b][/color][/size] Character/Ref: Headshot of profile picture?: Details/Personality: Extra:

Custom:

Code: Select all: [size=150][color=#53858f][b]I want a Custom! [/b][/color][/size] Theme/Inspo: Details: Headshot?: Extra:

The art and the adopts won't be made here! I'll be using Synthwaves gorgeous base! (Again) I've been using it in my liminal space batches LOL
optional: feel free to leave ideas or if you have liked any specific ideas I've made in past batches (screen head/tail mouths/etc) for the future![/b]
Ends Thursday • May 30

Spiritstar3 @ Mon May 27, 2024 6:16 pm

We're supposed to post here, right?
Not like...PM you?]

I want a Custom!
Theme/Inspo:
Not sure if this is where the song goes?
If so, Nightmare Time by Team Starkid
Details:
Two tailed canine or feline creature (i lean more towards canines though) with little horns and like...some sort of accessories (dark 'halos' on the tails and or legs, a pendant, stuff like that)
Go wild, just no weird eyes or mouths please (tail mouths are fine)
Headshot?:
If you want to.
Extra:
Thank you for doing adopts and customs too.

Dezda @ Tue May 28, 2024 3:24 am

This is so kind of you, thank you for the opportunity!

I want a Custom!
Theme/Inspo: Abandoned cemeteries, overgrown headstones, large rooted trees.
Details: Inspired in particular by this picture. Not thinking spooky or Halloween, more just forgotten by time. Otherwise, do whatever!
Headshot?: That would be lovely!
Extra: Thanks again!

LunarGlare @ Tue May 28, 2024 6:58 am

i've been following you since you offered on one of my adopts lmao XD

I want Art!
Character/Ref: Zimm my beloved/p
Headshot of profile picture?: Would love either!!!
Details/Personality: He's kinda gloomy + dull emotionally, mostly just sitting and looking at the ground like a depressed doofus
Extra: thank you so much, I can also chuck a rare or something at you if you want it!
