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.

Joel No More
by Wildwarriorpaws @ Fri May 24, 2024 9:49 am [Reply]

His name was Joel (Joe) Gonzalez but I decided I actually hate that name, he's basically my Daryl Dixon expect the name Joe doesn't give me Daryl vibes. So for right now I'm thinking of renaming him Gunnar or Ace and a possible last name being Norris but till not sure on that :3 If you have any suggestions please let me know!!

hotdog wolf (redraw II!) based on this drawing by Bambi <3
by Bambi <3 @ Fri May 24, 2024 5:37 am [Reply]

hot dog wolf 8-)

A character I made a year ago and only drew twice this is the second time;-;

it doesn't have a name yet but it does have a story!

There is only one of its kind on earth (supposably...) and its purpose makes it a bit silly why there is only one of them left since its purpose is to make a balance of nature may that be adding phosphorus to farmland, growing at an instance fields of life, or even killing to ode the balance...

It has a sense of "humanity" if you call it, not a ruthless killer, that's maybe why there aren't many of these critters around for this one in particular bonds with humans or so understands them and helps them, fascinated by humans culture even! but it never really calls automotives or planes or boats a spectacle, more so tries to understand how those machinery impact the earth good or bad.

ANYWAY! These creatures don't exactly speak human language but they can replicate to an extent words of them. Complex words have not been achieved yet but "hello"/"dirt"/"step" and more simple words can be said.

If you wanna help on naming this species or this guy some ideas I had in mind were something along the lines of...
Glesf
Curoopo
Goluft
Blattitaum
Moedy

IDK just a mush up of words to make something lolz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HELP I GOT STUNG BY A YELLOW JACKET
by ♥ mizu @ Thu May 23, 2024 12:31 pm [Reply]

guys i have a story to tell you.

i was taking a shower after school today. i noticed there was a yellow jacket in the bathroom - there have been multiple in there within the past week, maybe there's a hive in the vent or something. so i left the door hoping it would leave.

i went to my room and then went to dinner. after i was done, i returned to my room, keen on playing star stable and buying a bunch of horses because i was tired and there is a bazaar. i plopped into my bed.

3 seconds in and i noticed a bright pain emerging right. in. MY. BUMCHEEK. i almost SCREAMED. i jumped 3 feet while my soul went 6 feet under. it hurt SO. BAD. IT WENT RIGHT THROUGH MY PJS. I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM AND IT'S RIGHT LIKE A BULLSEYE ON MY BUM. IT HURTS SO BAD GUYS. i put on zinc (baby cream) and it actually helped quite a lot but i swear to GOD i hope that yellowjacket died violently, i really do. it was in. MY. BED

i didn't cry, miraculously. instead i went and bought 2 horses instead of 1 as a treat because i was good and the bee was bad. i also have another thing to share later but for now i'm going to mope and take a shower

help me paint a sculpture :D
by ♥ mizu @ Thu May 23, 2024 1:39 pm [Reply]

ok so i've had my eye on this horsey sculpture at the thrift store ever since it came out and i've been waiting for it to go on sale so i could grab it. it finally did, and, since i've wanted to paint it since i first saw it, i figured maybe it'd be fun if i got my cs friends to help me?

Image
Image
(i don't have a fully frontal image)

i know it might hurt some people that i'm painting it, but a) it doesn't go with my room, b) i waited to see if anyone else wanted it and they didn't, and c) the paintjob actually isn't as clean as it looks, it's a bit uneven looking :c i think it's also one of those things meant to be painted as the inside is hollow and there's no paint there. there isn't even a brand

i originally wanted to paint cupid on it or maybe even eva. stormy would be cute too, or maybe apricot. i also have closed species horses but i'm not as connected with those guys. i want to do something that's simple enough i can do with just a paintbrush and sponge but not simple like spirit, even though i love him. i could also do a fandom character. so, what do you guys think? literally any suggestions welcome, i won't be offended x)

kaju @ Thu May 23, 2024 1:44 pm

    voting for eva or apricot, would be a fun challenge! however any of your characters would look lovely painted, great find bliss!! please update us when you finish <3 cant wait to see what you do!

    I agree, or even sephora!

coffee.berry @ Thu May 23, 2024 4:39 pm

    okay first of all that horse sculpture looks ADORABLE!!
    you're so lucky to have found it hehe :3
    i feel like all of those horsies would be pretty good for
    the design, but cupid would be most fitting because of
    the simple yet cute design!! or else my advice would be
    to find some spin the wheel site and put your chosen
    horses there and whichever the wheel lands on, paint!
    omggg im actually so excited to see how this comes out
    weee <3

Free Raffle (Closed) based on this drawing by Alizba
by Alizba @ Tue May 21, 2024 9:59 am [Reply]

I love making lines but don't like managing closed species. So, there will be a few of these where I make lines to raffle off for free. If most people prefer, I will just make these lines to editable for all for people instead of raffling them off.

Just reply to this if entering also feel free to let me know what type of lines you would like to see.

Only rule is to credit me for the lines.

oop fregot an end date ends on may 22

kaju @ Tue May 21, 2024 10:00 am

would love to enter!!

Spiritstar3 @ Tue May 21, 2024 10:46 am

Might be better to do these as free editables for everyone.

Anyway! If we enter and win, do these have to be closed species?
