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.

Two of a Kind
by rem sleep @ Mon May 20, 2024 11:56 pm [Reply]

      I wanted to draw my two angels together <3
      based on the song Two of a Kind by GHOST!! when I heard it i just had this cool visual in my brain of my two angel fursonas together, esp since they both have starry themes and blue/purple color palettes-- they really are two of a kind! >:3c
      characters are Starrium (aka Starry) the fox (left) and Dream the bunny (right) !! I love my funny lil angels hehe

      Also!! Huge shoutout to Shadowflight13! I used their galaxy tutorial for the bg! it was quite intuitive and fun! : D

I’m quite happy with how this drawing turned out XD I’ve missed drawing on this website tbh, I started playing/drawing on cs in 2014 but I kinda stopped in 2020 [which I regret] and unfortunately I lost access to my 2014 account in 2021 [I think it was 2021? - I’m not sure lol] and I can’t really remember my older username or much about the account cuz it’s been years but anyways I created a new account last year and I’ve been logging in every now and again to get pets and look at the forums but not really do much or draw anything so this is my first time drawing on here again and I think it looks good esp considering that I’ve been very out of practice with drawing these past few years and even when I have been drawing I’ve been using different software to do digital art [like procreate and ibispaintX] and readapting to the cs software after not using it for years was hard xP but hopefully with time I’ll get back into practice of drawing on here :D

Edit - just realised that I should’ve posted this in Animals/Creatures, my bad sorry xP

Fairy Love
by WinglessSeraph @ Mon May 27, 2024 6:11 pm [Reply]

Stepping away from the venty stuff now, did I say that Delphi and Virginia were close friends?

Well they're also partners!! I was gonna save this reveal for pride month but I literally just couldn't wait to draw the love birds. Delphi is very attached to Virginia and shows it by doing things for them as well as writing love letters. Virginia has every letter she's ever sent in a big ol scrapbook and shows it to anyone and everyone. They've been planning on tying the knot and finally finished the home they hope to settle down in.

I'll definitely post another drawing with them during June or perhaps sooner because I just love them so much!!!

Been struggling for awhile now, I don't really have anyone to talk to about it. Talking to an unknown reader is about all I've got. I wish I had friends, but I'm too awkward and anxious. My characters are essentially my friends at this point. I literally have an entire page dedicated to just Delphi pen doodle because it brings me comfort. I hate being lonely, but being in a crowd is always too much. Especially when you can't put yourself out there. I can't imagine a future for myself and I live everyday in the now because I can't think of what's going to happen tomorrow. Existing sucks when you're too aware of yourself and your surroundings.

Feel free to ignore this as this is simply just me attempting to understand my feelings, I struggle to decipher my thoughts most of the time.

COOLDOGOOO @ Mon May 27, 2024 1:29 am

omg seraph, im really sorry youre going through that, i completely understand you <33 been there before, mostly the aftermath of covid sadly... thankfully i had my super supportive family with me the entire time

please know that if you ever want to talk about anything, im always open <33 if youd rather talk on discord if you need to, lmk <3

    January 1st, 1838, Dr. Chandra reporting. Serial number 9X47A. Project Freezing Rain entry number 57.
    The Lifeform seems to have gathered enough water molecules from the air to sustain a larger form! I knew it was growing quickly, but I never expected this! Dr. Matthews is going to assist me with some tests. We must gather as much information as possible from this, so we are going to do it in person. I will record our findings once we have finished testing.
    -
    January 1st, 1838, Dr. Chandra reporting. Serial number 9X47A. Project Freezing Rain entry number 57 supplemental.
    We have finished our tests with the Lifeform. Despite our initial hesitance, the Lifeform showed no resistance. It seemed to be as interested in us as we were in it! Its level of intelligence continues to surpass that of the basic Lifeform I assumed it to be.
    The Lifeform stands about 6 foot 10 inches, or about 208 centimeters. We found that its body is made out of snow, and through further testing, Dr. Matthew and I have determined that it is very well compacted and, therefore, has a rigidity more similar to that of ice rather than snow and is not pierced easily. We also found that the "plate" or "mask" on the Lifeform's face seems to be made of an unknown rigid material. It is such a dark blue that it is almost black and is completely smooth. It is colder to the touch than the Lifeform's body by quite a substantial amount. Dr. Matthews and I would have continued testing the material if not for the strange sickness that started not long after we examined the "mask."
    We recommend no more in-person testing as that strange sickness has not yet subsided. Dr. Matthews and I will keep logs of our afflictions until they cease.
    -
    January 1st, 1838, Dr. Chandra reporting. Serial number 9X47A. Project Freezing Rain entry number 57 illness supplemental.
    Dr. Matthews and I are experiencing strange thoughts, nausea, and a fever. We are unsure of how these thoughts manifest or their cause, though we assume they have something to do with the Lifeform and our proximity to it during testing.
    In Dr. Matthews' case, the symptoms are worse. He also seems to have developed Hypothermia despite the lab being at a high enough temperature to avoid this. At this point, we are unsure what is causing the Hypothermia. We will continue to monitor him as the night continues.

Last drawing, probably- I don't need to spam oekaki with the nonsense I've been drawing RWEJIODFSLKM

Now we have the issue of whether these guys go in anthro or objects/abstract/other ... but since they seem to have some kind of features that are more of like living beings than just normal robots, ehhhh I say they still go here

Still clearing out drawings; just some goofballs hanging out together

I also,,, never know where to put drawings of these four- one goes in animals/creatures, one goes in anthro, and two could go in either anthro or humans/humanoids RWEOIJDSFKML- CS staff should just add a feature (for me specifically no one else can have it because I say so :3) to put one drawing in multiple places, yknow to confuse everyone- I mean, make it easier for the artist to determine where to put it.... yeah <3

Based off of a random meme, I kinda just need to clear out my drawings again REWOSDIFJMKL-
Also I mixed three different art styles of mine for this one (the background, the main lineart, and the text are three different ways I draw), not sure if it's giving the drawing a weird/offputting look but it was fun lol
