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.

blair sittin' pretty
by ♥ mizu @ Tue May 07, 2024 4:08 pm [Reply]

GUYS. this took SO long, whatever the timer says is correct 😭😭😭 the sketch itself took foreverrrrr, like, probably the longest i've ever spent on a sketch. i was originally gonna include her back paws (legs in this case) but holy jeepers.... paws are impossible to draw ;o; i'm pretty happy with her hand paw thingies and i actually really like how this turned out xD

i was inspired by kay to draw my girl again :3 she drew my girl and i was so happy i couldn't resist not doodling her myself xD i'm not used to drawing lions buttttt i think this looks really cool!!

Kayara @ Tue May 07, 2024 4:54 pm

commision for hellish
by berketexspet @ Wed May 08, 2024 12:19 am Attachment(s) [Reply]

Hello chicken smoothie. today I have a commision. I know i haven't made any commisions lately but i've been busy with stupid (school) and other things. I also got my oekaki restored! a lot of posts got removed (includidng smudge the frog) but everthing is back! yippie! This is a commision for hellish for 6 chicken smoothie dollars, and this is the first one because they wanted 2 (two) drawigs. I won't make fun of poor people anymore so thank you for the commision. this is their OC divanay. woah... he reminds me of my tomboy best friend berketex. I want him to bully me. please do not say this is bad or AI generated. I already took a break form commisions because someone said my art was bad, and lets just say.... I delt with them, if you know what i mean. I'm also doing commisions for anywhere between 3-58 chicken dollars for art because my mom spends her money on credit cards she doesn't know how to use and blames me for everything becuase she can't take responsibility for her own actions. and remember, the more chicken dollars, the more good the art! (the attached image is hellish's commision)

Have a smooth-tastic day!

♥ mizu @ Wed May 08, 2024 12:24 am

this is so good! great job berketexspet

berketex @ Wed May 08, 2024 12:41 am

Woahhhh he is just loke me

Strawberry delight
by Nyarlathotep|Nathan @ Tue May 07, 2024 11:23 pm [Reply]

Forgot to post her, though somehow I already uploaded her to TH. Mmm silky smooth coloured lineart

So many people in my TH needs names including her 🥲 I'm just not that creative recently

odi @ Tue May 07, 2024 11:44 pm

strawberry facts, just in case any inspire a name:

    1. the genus that strawberries are in is named fragaria
    2. some of the species in that genus include vesca, nubicola, and moschata
    3. strawberries are in the rose family
    4. california produces most of the strawberries in the united states
    5. some translations of the word strawberry: portuguese / morango; romanian / căpșună; french / fraise; finnish / mansikka; czech / jahoda; spanish / fresa

Blair for Bliss !
by Kayara @ Tue May 07, 2024 12:23 pm [Reply]

I really hope this is okay- I've gifted you art before so I'm just betting it is and I can give it to you separately and delete this if it's not okay but it's gift art !

Happy (belated) birthday, you sweetheart! I had it on my calendar but couldn't get this finished in time amongst my school work ;v;
Blair seems so cool. I love how she seems to represent a very feminine girl without being timid and delicate. Not like that's bad at all but it's nice to see all kinds of personalities representing different styles as a part of their outward expression. She's an anthro so her physical traits could've been just about any combination of animal and human traits. It would just depend on what the designer wanted but it's beautiful how I can see the strength of her species in her physical appearance. Also, she's a June baby like me. :>
I hope you like it and I'm glad you seemed to have had a weekend where you could a little rest <3

A s t r a @ Tue May 07, 2024 1:10 pm

This is such an amazing piece of artwork! I would love to see her other art pieces. The way you did this has such a great personality to it, I think I struggle with that when I draw lol.

The person who designed my friend's character goes by Rocketchu12 on dA ! they've linked their toyhouse page with more of their designs.
But the person I made this for goes by ♥ mizu on here and she has some of the best expressive, dynamic poses that I really enjoy seeing as well as her own beautiful designs. Thank you so much <33 I'm not familiar with drawing anthro but I thnk it's getting easier. It's taken me even longer to get used to drawing movement so I really appreciate the compliment!

♥ mizu @ Tue May 07, 2024 1:41 pm

KAY OH MY GOSH??? SHE LOOKS AMAZING??!!?

i was absolutely NOT expecting to see your art pop up on my feed when i got home, much less see blair!!! holy cow!! thank you so much oh my god? 😭😭😭💖💖 you captured her PERFECTLY and i just love how you drew her :) it's so nice that you thought of her personality so deeply, i really enjoyed making her and she's an oc that's really dear to me :D i didn't even realise that her being a lion reflects her personality, but you're so right - it's PERFECT for her omg. thank you thank you thank you kay!!!

i hope that you can rest too, my friend <3 you really deserve it :) i'm so happy whenever i see your art but i hope you're not burning yourself out!

Paisley the Patient
by plaidlion @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:50 am [Reply]

My spouse ResidentRook and I have discussed before what our four cats would be as Dungeons & Dragons classes... so naturally I had to draw them. Paisley is our oldest, is very petite, and is my absolute baby. She fits a paladin well - gentle, caring, but can lay down the law when she needs to.

Edit: Oh my goodness thanks for the feature! ;w;

Hawk WillowWatcher @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:54 am

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ResidentRook @ Sun Apr 28, 2024 12:55 pm

these are a few of the originals i keep on my bed :) minus pocket buizel i suppose. none of you are allowed to call me cringe for drawing stuffed animals cause im doing it to make myself happyyy. the oldest ones picured are ellie & ella cause ive had them since i was reallll small but i have a few older ones id like to doodle sometime too. I wish i could show some pictures but i havent really figured out the whole image hosting thing yet. just do me a favor and imagine em lol

Brienne of Tarth @ Fri May 03, 2024 6:16 am

CRIES they're all so cute n perfect uwu
oh! and for image hosting, imgur is a good option! or, if you use discord, just make a private server and toss all your pics in there — so long as you don't delete the server and/or pics after posting them, they're fine to link over here (:
