Oekaki Help?
by >> Leafstorm515 @ Tue Mar 17, 2026 10:19 am [Reply]

Hello!
I'm hitting dead ends everywhere so I thought I would post here and see if I can get any other suggestions.

I got a Huion Inspiroy 2 tablet recently and I CANNOT get pen pressure to work in oekaki. I have gone through all the troubleshooting ideas that are in the help fourm, including using different browsers, trying all versions of chicken/chibi paint, installing java/jtablet, all those kind of things.

Are there any users who have huion tablets that pen pressure works for? or is huion just cursed to be non-supported?

Any help is greatly appreciated, I will remove this once I see if I can get some answers.

plateOfFlan @ Tue Mar 17, 2026 10:41 am

My ancient Huion 16 works with it, I recently updated all the drivers on my computer though because at first it wouldn't interact with the oekaki program at all. I use the default version of chickenPaint on Vivaldi, I was surprised it worked with a non standard browser. Tablet issues are super frustrating so I hope you find the fix for it!

BlueEyedKite @ Tue Mar 17, 2026 11:18 am

I don't know if it's superstition but I always have the tablet application up. I always recalibrate the screen. I always uncheck then check windows ink in the pen settings. I always turn off then on the pen tip in the pen settings. I always change the pen pressure hard then soft then back to neutral. I always draw in chrome or edge. And I did have to update my drivers once when pen pressure went away. I have the huion kamvas 16 pro!

I know colorpoints usually start out lighter as kittens but for the sake of recognizability they look like normal XD

Eukaryotes and one prokaryote
Cells aren't classified that way I think?
Anyway, I've been doing pretty badly for a month, but it's OK
Things get better eventually.

GUARDIANS | MIGRATING! based on this drawing by kageyenova
by kageyenova @ Sun Jan 18, 2026 3:40 pm [Reply]

    ok first of all, all credit goes to @ ceruleanwake for the background(s), still forever grateful/in awe abt these u did awesome work man.

    BUT the point of this post is to announce: The Guardians ARPG will be switching format!

    There are quite a number of plans and ideas that were intended for Guardians from the jump, and after taking a dive into the UMA scene in the CS forums, I realize the things I want to do would be far better suited to a smaller drawn scale so that we can provide a greater variety of unique features and experiences.

    Such as: gaining additional sets of wings as your cat levels up, armor pieces (to a customizable extent), familiars, featuring multiple guardians in one post without looking cluttered, and much more.

    So I present to you these new bases we will be using once we get the threads posted up!

    ImageImage

    and some example guardians we've made:

    ImageImageImageImage

    The intent for Guardians will 100% remain the same - we would love to provide an interactive environment where your guardians can be used at every turn; and your activity will not be a requirement to participate and earn cats/items in the species, but there will be greater rewards for those who are committed!
    We will be revising our trait list, making fresh new threads, trading rules, opening staff apps, and much more very soon.

    What does this format change mean for my existing Guardians?
    • If you wish to use them going forward, they will need to be transferred onto the new bases! Just as before, everyone will be given a one-time free MYO where they can create their founder - in which case you can choose whether or not to use your original founder or make a brand new one!
      And for the Guardians given out by our artists that weren't founders, I'll probably figure out a system to have those transferred in freely by our staff (or just myself!)

    Can I still use my MYO's?
    • Yes, but it'll be a bit different. MYO's going forward will instead be custom tickets - but for those of you who have already earned/purchased MYO's that haven't been made yet, I think I'll permit usage of the new founder base to create those.

    What if I still really like the oekaki bases?
    • Then use them!! I'm completely open to users still utilizing the base for refs and future customs. As long as usage is intended for an existing/planned Guardian, there's no problems here! It just should be noted that a Guardian is not official until it is on the new base and in our archive!


  • the ETA for this is undecided, but hopefully VERY soon. There's a Lot I still need to draw and have prepared, and staff applications will probably open sooner than anything else. Could really use the help lol
    I'd love to figure out a way to make Guardians adopts still earnable by competition, but raffles will definitely be more consistent this way as well.

    With all that said, let me know if this seems interesting, and if there's any questions down below so I can answer out in the open - there's still a lot being planned/thought out! Suggestions would be AWESOME as well.
    Thank you guys <3

COOLDOGOOO @ Sun Jan 18, 2026 3:47 pm

that’s completely fair, and honestly im really excited!!! will be so exciting to see :3

the bases are SO CUTE TOO omg <3

i had a question then forgot uhm

OH YEAH will artist apps still be claimable? if so would there be a thread to like publicly create them or would they be sent directly via pm? <3

can’t wait for the return!!

Geiger @ Sun Jan 18, 2026 4:15 pm

SO HYPED !!! Welcome back Guardians ! :)
With the new traits list, will our pre-existing Guardians still have those features, or will their rarities/appearances have to change if the trait changes rarity tier? I hope they’d stay the same :)

    Depending on the results for the artist search, I’d say maybe? I might leave it up to the GA’s or keep a steadfast rule of no claims. We’ll think more on that one!

    Your pre-existing guardians can absolutely keep their traits, their rarity just might be changed depending on the traits you used ^^

Poor Porcini hates the snow, but in a fight, flight, or freeze situation, this boy would rather sit there and freeze, literally!

scribble of moonpaw warrior cats who is very normal and regular. sorry for what happens to you in the books girlie i hope the latter half of the arc is nicer to you (doubtful)

i made the orange half of her a lighter cream instead and kept the black dark to make her an actual chimera instead of "your aunt on facebook who doesn't know what cat genetics are and thinks your funny looking tortie is a chimera cat" like the books are going for

sunlithollow @ Tue Mar 17, 2026 12:46 am

Uhh I struggled with this one.. I don't design characters very frequently, I honestly start blanking and never have the best ideas for character design and I'm pretty bad with color theory ^^; I kinda like it though! Would love any advice or cool things to add to this character, not even sure what I would name them. I think I'm going to make a full body piece of them !

On March 7, I had to say goodbye to my cat, Aleksi.

I began this last week, but haven't had the heart to finish it until today. I braved drawing cats for him LOL This is probably my first original piece for 6 months and BOY did it feel like relearning everything

I'll see you again one day, baby past the rainbow bridge <3

rough little warmup doodle of a design that I bought off of sparrowlucero over on tumblr! they're an artist that I've admired for a long time, so I'm very excited to finally get my hands on one of their designs c: not sure what to name this one yet, contemplating adding wings also? but I love the idea of a whimsical teapot dragon that just sits on the counter whistling and blowing steam

wind song @ Sat Feb 28, 2026 8:03 am

    ohhh this is wonderful melon <3 (i love sparrowlucero's art!! been following em on ig, but didn't realize they're selling these kettle cute creature designs?? * v * will definitely need to keep an eye out!) congrats on snagging this lovely c; the dark shiny surface looks fun to render !!

MireyaDC @ Sat Feb 28, 2026 9:03 am

Left is from a "dream" the girl has
Right is the Blue Canary

The text in the image is this:

Why - Cant you leave me alone?

It's what the girl thinks but doesn't say

I feel bad like, tormenting her... But it's an interesting narrative. It's fine. I give her a bunch of friends and a girlfriend in the end. Big wins! Hold strong unnamed girl!

Quick Zorana Drawing

I don't remember the last time I used this and I deleted the old stuff I had on here at some point. Here's a quick drawing of Zorana, an OC of mine and my current online face.

Drawing on here feels a bit odd.
