Oekaki Rules and Information
by Tess @ Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:19 am [Reply]

All images made in the oekaki board must follow our general Art Rules - however, there are some extra rules specific to the Oekaki that you should be aware of;

Oekaki-specific Rules

What you should do:

Keep comments polite, helpful, and relevant to the artwork. Critique is allowed if requested by the artist - but bare insults are not welcome here.
Make an effort to post your drawing in the correct board. For example, if you color in an Editable drawing, post it into the 'Colored-in' board. If you are new to oekaki and your artwork isn't of a very high standard yet, post in the Beginners board until you've had more practice.
If using an editable, 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.

What you shouldn't do:

Don't post excessively bloody/gory/violent images, nudity, or anything else which might be inappropriate for younger viewers.
Do not post blank canvases in the contests board. Contests may be posted there only if you provide a lineart or 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.
Don't make Oekaki drawings with just words or puzzles written on them. The oekaki is for sharing artwork, not for displaying a message or playing a forum game.
Don't spam the oekaki with random 10 second scribbles or advertisements and trade requests.
Religious themes are allowed in most boards EXCEPT in the Editable or Adoptable boards. Please keep these images for the Beginners, Intermediate, or Sketches boards instead.
Don't post offensive images imposing your beliefs on others. You are free to express your beliefs in a peaceful way, but not by hating on or denouncing any other person or group of people.
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 (for example: non-Oekaki adopts go in User-made Adoptables).

Changing Thread Ownership
Is your topic changing owner? Are you taking over someone else's art shop or adoptables?
As part of a new rule, you may need to formally notify CS staff about these changes, so please read for more information:

If you are transferring ownership of an art topic with continuing services (e.g. adoptables and original species adoptions, group artist shops, etc) you need to write a New Ownership Contract and submit this to CS staff. Both the current and future topic owner should send copies of the same contract to CS Staff using the help system.

To write your New Ownership Contract you need to include these details:

Username(s) of the old and new owner(s)
Links to all affected topics
All terms, conditions, and limitations of the transfer - For example what the future owner is and is not allowed to do, whether it is temporary (set time frame) or permanent, and conditions that would allow or prevent the old owner from taking ownership back or having content removed.

Any later changes/updates to the contract will need to be submitted the same way - both the old and new owners must each send a copy of the changes they've agreed to.

Ownership of these topics will not be switched over until we have copies of the contract sent in from both the new and old owner. If you're having trouble writing your contract please send us a help ticket for support.

If there are any disputes or ownership problems with the topic in future, staff will refer to this contract so they can resolve the matter quickly.

Selecting a different version of ChibiPaint
We have 2 versions of ChibiPaint to choose from. The newer version (ChibiPaint v2.0) allows you to use extra features like rotating your canvas.
You can choose "ChibiPaint v2.0" on your Oekaki settings page here:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/settings.php

Help:
If you don't know how to get started, go to the Beginner Oekaki. When you create a 'New Topic' it will load ChibiPaint 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.

Try these guides before asking questions:

Frequently Asked Questions

How does art get 'featured' for the front page?
Featured art is hand-picked by a staff member to make it appear on the front page. Only recent artwork can appear in the featured box. The lucky artists are chosen if we think their drawing is particularly beautiful or creative and deserving of special attention. Often some of the site's 'best' artwork doesn't get featured because we believe it will attract enough attention on its own.

Will you feature my artwork please?
We don't take requests or recommendations. There are not many places available for featured art, so many people just miss out. Don't take it personally, if you haven't been featured then your drawing is just one among tens of thousands which didn't get featured that week. It doesn't mean we think you're unworthy, it just means you're not incredibly lucky.

How does art get into the "most popular" categories?
The "most popular" boards are sorted automatically based on the number of "likes" they have. They are set up to include the top images from a range of different boards so that even Beginners and Sketches have a chance of being displayed amongst the top Intermediate artwork.

Can COPPA users post in the oekaki?
Yes, but all of their posts require post approval from a moderator before they appear in the forum.

I'm a COPPA user. What happened to my post? When will it be approved?
If you don't see your recent post appearing in the oekaki boards then it is probably waiting for a staff member to approve it. This might take a few minutes, or a few hours, depending on how many staff are available right now. Please be patient, staff have to read and approve nearly 1000 posts per day, sometimes it just takes a while for yours to be seen.

KittyHead Adopts [OPEN]

KittyHeads!
Adopts || Breeding/Nursery || FanPage? || Masterlist || The Pound || Customs! || Artist Search!

What are KittyHeads?

Small round cats that are created from the nightmares of people. These creatures are easy to train but they are also very good at tricking you. They come in many sizes and designs so choosing the right one can be really hard! These pets are currently really rare on the Site of Chicken Smoothie.

Gamingerve31 @ Fri May 11, 2018 8:43 am

Habitats

KittyHeads are known to live in any dark areas but KittyHeads that live in Bright areas are really rare to find. These are the areas these creatures can be found in.

Forest
Fur is medium sized and they usually don't weigh too much. The weight is less than others due to the fact that they are known for living in trees and are able to jump from branch to branch. Tails are usually long and are capable of grabbing branches if they manage to fall off.

Grasslands
Fur is really short, as well as tail but ears are usually known to be long and blend really well with the grass

Salt Water Areas
Fins are large and they don't really have fur

Fresh Water Areas
Fins are small and the fur is mixed with the scales

Arctic
fur is super thick and tails can be long if they have offspring and short if they have no offspring

Medows
short fur and may have horns

Caves
fur is thick from the cold but can be thin if the cave is hot, fur will get short

Sky
Have wings and looks like a forest KittyHead

Space
Have very long fur and galaxy eyes

Mountains
fur is thick and they are able to run long distances

Volcanos
have really thin fur that is fireproof

Populated areas(Homes, apartments, etc.)
Can look like any other kittyhead but has longer claws

Farms
Small and fast runners

Toxic Areas
fur is spikey and toxic oozes from ears and mouth

Tropical Areas
soft fur and usually have plants growing from them

Dangerous Areas
usually have spikey hair and have dangerous items growing out of them(glass, knives) - nearly extinct

Kalon Nursery V.3 based on this drawing by Karmel
by Karmel @ Thu May 24, 2018 3:31 pm [Reply]

◤---

Please do not mark this topic more than once or post anything other than your ticket as it is considered spam or bumping.

Kalons can be any romantic or sexual orientation and have as many relationships as they'd like.

Kalons can breed with one or two other Kalons, regardless of gender, so long as the other owner(s) condone the breeding.

Kalons may breed a maximum of three times during their lifespan. The mate does not have to be the same in every breeding.

One breeding will result in 1-4 kits (number randomly rolled).

Incestuous relationships and relationships involving kits with adults are not allowed. You may not look for breeding/adult romantic partners for your kit until they have been grown and approved by staff; this includes kits that are "ready to be grown" or have a "growth in progress."

Users may not PM artists about obtaining breeding slots. Breeding slots will remain public so everyone has a fair chance at obtaining the slot. Proof of user and/or artist sidestepping this rule will result in a strike.

Users may not switch nursery artists for two weeks after they send in their breeding ticket/reserve a slot, unless the artist cancels their open slots. If switching nursery artists after two weeks, users must provide proof that they gave a day's notice to the initial artist that they would be switching, and then wait at least one day before switching to a new artist.

Batches involving Legendary traits must be rolled for via live stream.

All breeding based items must be on the ticket when posting.

Users must wait one week after obtaining a new Kalon before they can breed it.

Users must wait three weeks after breeding any of their Kalons before they can request another batch. This cooldown starts when the ticket was accepted by the artist, not when the batch was posted.

Kits can be grown three weeks after their batch was posted.

Editing will disqualify your ticket in raffles/first-come-first-served slots. By extent, double posting to edit your first incorrect form will also invalidate your ticket.

Your form may not specify more or less weight.

Aruca Adopts ● V.3 ● Open based on this drawing by Purrfectpal

Nursery ● Hunting ● Archives ● Fanclub ● Customs & MYOs
→ ANNOUNCEMENTS

24th of May
We're back.

→ WHAT IS AN ARUCA?

Arucas are canine animals with incredibly enhanced senses. Their senses are enhightened by soft, thick membranes located on both their ears and on their foreheads. It's hypothesized that these membranes absorb sound and light than the ears and eyes of Aruca's normally - thus incredibly enhacing their sight and hearing. Along with these membranes, Arucas have slit eyes, similar to those of snakes. This allows them to hunt at night, and see heat radiating off of things. These adaptions help Aruca's hunt for food, shelter etc. It is said these features were given to them by the God of Creation, from the God of Mind and the Goddess of Hunting. More research into these Aruca stories is currently being undertaken.

Hunting is hypothesized to be a large part of their lives - kits are taught to hunt at a young age. After their first sucessful hunt, they are awarded with a decorative leaf tied to their back leg - this leaf represents the growth the kit has undertaken. These leaves are taken from the Tree of Creation. Arucas wear these leaves for life.

→ GENERAL RULES

- Arucas are a closed species, that means you cannot make your own.
- You are not permitted to sell or purchase Arucas in any way, shape or form.
- Please do not minimod.
- Respect all members of the staff, and community members. This includes respecting staff decisions and any competitions held to adopt an Aruca, as well as respecting winners and non-owners.
- If you no longer want your Aruca, PM me and I will arrange it's readoption. If you do not wish for your Aruca to be readopted, you may trade it ONLY for another Aruca, or you may gift it. Make sure to alert me regardless of your decision.
- You may own up to 15 Arucas.

→ MYO RULES

- You cannot create MYOs and customs without have a custom ticket, a MYO slot, or being a member of the staff.

Kalon Adopts (Mod Apps Open!) based on this drawing by Mintiature

QUICK FACTS wrote:→ eupleridae
→ iridescent tail shines
→ fossa whiskers & teeth
→ textured manes
→ long tongues
→ minkish paws
→ sheepish noses
→ social, tame, clever
→ woodland habitats
→ adore colorful things
→ fruit, insects, fish

Kalons [ka·lon] are generally long-furred omnivorous creatures similar in body structure to fossa. These eupleridae vary in size from a house cat to a full-grown liger (9”-60” high). They are red blooded, viviparous, and highly protective of their young until the offspring reaches maturity. Their paws are dexterous for grasping food, climbing trees, and to groom one another. The diet of a Kalon tends to consist of fruits, nuts, fish, and insects although some are also known to eat other meat.

A unique trait specific to the species is a shining, flexible iridescent material found on their tails used mostly for identification and showing off which is helpful when spotting another Kalon from afar. The shine can be compared to a hummingbird or snake’s natural iridescence, and this shimmering association to their own kind has led to many Kalons hoarding shiny or colorful objects they come across. They also tend to create close bonds with fellow species members, especially those within a family unit. They communicate through a series of chatters and growls, each succession of noises unique to form a sort of language. These creatures are active both during the day and the night cycles usually spending time napping in the sunlight or hunting prey after dark.

Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sapient. Scientists have urged the general population to consider adopting Kalons for further study into their aptitude. Their intelligence has been called similar to that of dolphins.

Human interference with the species, such as radiation or their sensitivity to airwaves, has caused hundreds of these creatures to form harmless mutations. These genetic transformations vary greatly such as additional limbs, excessive fur growth, and even glowing body parts. The most elusive Kalons are known as legends that walk the earth capable of possessing wings or transparency.

Kalons are a closed species and it is not permitted for a non-staff user to create their own Kalon adoptable.

Selling or purchasing Kalons for any type of payment be it art, currency, or likewise is prohibited.

You may not use the Kalon base to sell designs for the species. You may only offer your services to create a design for another user, but you cannot pre-make designs for profit. Designs purchased on other bases may be transferred into the species as Kalons with the appropriate MYO level so long as the original design also allows transfers.

Kalons/MYOs may only be traded for other Kalons/MYOs, and Items can only be traded for other Items. You cannot exchange these adoptables or species items for art, currency, or outside species.

You may roleplay Kalons.

A Kalon may be your fursona if you have written proof of permission from the original artist. Permission from the owner of the other parent(s) must also be obtained if using anything other than a first-gen Kalon such as a kit.

Transfers out of the species must be first discussed with the original artist of the design, and then secondly with the species Owners and run on a case-by-case basis. If these steps are refused to be taken, and the transfer goes forth anyway, it will result in a ban on the user. A transfer will only be approved for special circumstances.

Be kind and courteous to every member, harassment within the species will not be tolerated. Please do not whine or beg for Kalons.

Respect Artists and their adopt competitions. Do not post forms after the deadline, continually bump an unjudged competition, or attempt to blackmail/persuade the artist into picking your form.

We would appreciate it if you asked a species Owner before making public Kalon based threads. Roleplays and such are fine to proceed without permission.

Please do not mini mod the threads. Allow all questions posted here to be answered by staff only and if there is an issue contact a member of staff directly. Please message a species Owner if you have any complaints or concerns instead of posting them here.

◤---

You may not edit your Kalon's lines (including all traits and colors) unless adding accessories, changing expression, or coloring the line-art. You may add as many accessories as you desire. Message a species Owner for approval on adding scars to existing Kalons.

Kalon muzzles cannot be edited to change the length, shape, etc. This includes the nose. The only exception is matching the line thickness to your style, but everything must remain the same look.

A list of edits must be posted on all Main Adopts, Kits, Transfer, and Customs.

◤---

Custom lined MYOs/Adopts must have a secondary reference on the Official Kalon lines to be used for approval, breeding, and archive purposes. A copy of official off-oekaki species lines in PNG and PSD format can be found here.

Growths, Transfers, and MYO Customs may be made by any user, staff or otherwise.

Transfers, Growths, and Customs must have clear approval from a staff member to ensure accuracy and assess potential issues. To receive approval you must send a screenshot of the completed Kalon to any staff member along with the link to the original design/kit reference/MYO slot proof. If a screenshot is not possible please add the staff member you're messaging to the covered image.

You cannot regrow a Kalon that has already been approved and is accurate to the kit reference. Only exception is moving from V.1 to V.2 lines or transferring to oekaki.

You can receive permission from Wicced!Witch or Karmel to reline a growth/transfer. It must be on the same reference, you cannot make an entirely new growth, and the purpose of a reline is for accuracy to the kit or original reference.

Users may revamp customs, so long as they have the current species Owners express permission as well as posted proof of written approval of the revamp from a species Owner. However, revamps cannot occur if the Kalon has had kits.

◤---

Users may own an unlimited number of Kalons, but you may only win up to 3 main adopts in one month including any awarded Runner Ups. The following do not count toward this cooldown: Customs, Nursery Batches, Readoptions, and special adopts (events, 50s, 00s).

A user must own a Kalon for 2 weeks before they are allowed to trade it and may only make a trade once every 30 days. This cooldown includes the trading of MYO/custom slots. You must fill out the proper form found on the Kalon Archive Update Thread for the trade to be valid.

A user may gift a Kalon at any time without waiting for any ownership cooldown, and you may gift an unlimited number of Kalons a month. You must fill out the proper form found on the Kalon Archive Update Thread for the gifting to be valid.

Users must wait one week after obtaining a new Kalon before they can breed it.

Kits can be grown three weeks after their batch was posted.

Users must wait three weeks after breeding any of their Kalons before they can request another batch. This cooldown starts when the ticket was accepted by the artist, not when the batch was posted.
