Is It Against The Rules To Make An OC Using A CS Design?

[0444]

Am I allowed to upload a CS pet's sprite to, for example, Toyhou.se provided I credit the artist for the original artwork? Can I draw my own art of the pet and upload it there as well?

Hello!

Yes, you are allowed, with restrictions. From the Rules for the Site and Forum > Art Rules > Using Chicken Smoothie (CS) images and designs

• You may make fanart of CS images as long as you're not directly copying our lineart. Copying the design (colors and markings) onto a different lineart is fine as long as you give credit to https://www.chickensmoothie.com for the design wherever you post your image.
  
  
• It is fine to use our pet images for personal characters or fursonas as long as you acknowledge and display credit to https://www.chickensmoothie.com for the design or images you use.
  
  
• You may not edit a CS pet image to make your own custom CS pet design. You may make “fake” pets that use a bar with the username along the bottom as long as they are your own original drawing.
  
  
• If you use CS pets as characters the designs remain copyrighted to CS and other CS users are allowed to use the same designs as their own characters.
  
  
• Never use CS images, pets, or items as adoptables for another website. It's fine to show off your collection by posting your pets on other websites, but don't try to sell or create adoptable pets from our images.
