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.

Everything is Temporary
by VolcanicScythe @ Mon Mar 09, 2026 2:57 pm [Reply]

"...A polar windstorm came up suddenly, and Skyfire and I were separated. I circled half the globe searching for him, but he was gone." -- Starscream, Fire in the Sky [Transformers: Generation 1] (Timestamps 6:30-7:03)

I was thinking about this scene a while back and the sadness in Starscream's voice when he said that. I realized that Birds by Imagine Dragons fits their situation really well, so I decided to draw angst. You're welcome.
(Their friendship is tragic and it breaks my heart </3)

Ebony Stardust @ Mon Mar 09, 2026 3:58 pm

Something about the fact that he cared about Skyfire tells me he wasn't always such a jerk. I believe that, in losing a friend that day, (and perhaps his only close friend), Starscream lost the ideal of kindness as well. Killer art.

I haven't drawn on chicken smoothie in almost 2 years, so I decided to practice a bit. I mostly draw on a website called JSpaint, which is basically an in browser recreation of 90s MSpaint. PLEASE ADD A PIXEL BRUSH CS IT WOULD SAVE MY LIFE!!

Thova 2026
by Thovatos @ Fri Feb 27, 2026 8:56 am [Reply]

Characters change a lot over time, and I realize now more than ever my art depicts my characters in a static state. I never really show what they like to do, or what their respective 'jobs' are. Mai boi is a at-heart a druid first, but long has his craft faded from popular eye. The new-world has little room for lost practices, and a taboo magic at that.

His little familiar friend is new, and credits are due here!

You can find Thova's TH here!

Edit: HUH? This got featured? Since when?! Hello??

How to spend a million hours on a not-painting... include more than one character :?
Okay so-- I didn't really have anything in mind when I started this, but a scenario came to mind as I was doing the sketch.

Pheus(Left top) was totally making pink flower crowns while the group was just sitting around chatting (minus Thova of course who is always on the side quests lol. He's listening but usually never actively engaging). Reus(Guy in the bottom left) did not like the idea of wearing one. Ezera(guy on far right) points out how Reus is pretty much already pink(or so he's told)-- and this is the moments before chaos ensues. Sylnos in the middle is just here for the drama, and to mention the fact that, yes, Ezera does, in fact, have a point. Master-class rage-baiter LOL Reus truly is the odd-man out here.


Character TH's:
Reus(Bottom left) is currently going under reconstruction so his TH is unavailable at this time.
Pheus(Top Left) is awaiting me to actually update his TH page, so there's no link to share for the moment.
Sylnos(Middle) can be found here.
Ezera(Far Right) can be found here.
Thova(Top Right) can be found here.

they're all so pretty as characters AND your art slaps as always
such a treat for my eyes when I see your username popup!!

He really appreciates this. He will soon give you an inspirational talk to get you through your day. I also noticed I spelled his last name wrong. Holy cow/ fr my managers last name is Robinson I think my autocorrect did this.

Hoppu gijinka again. I see her as two characters The one with no hair and no glasses is the normal hoppu and when she Has Hair And Glasses it’s supposed to just be me. So I don’t want to draw the gijinka of that version much because it’s just straight up Me

I've learn that I love to draw my favourite pets alongside my OCs, last time I drew my Circus OC with the Harlequin Jester, this time I drew my Fallen Angel/Knight OC who's slowly turning to stone, Envy, alongside the VR Stone Dogs- as they are my true favourite pet, I had to draw them atleast once!

I'm so happy with how this turned out, haha :]
