From the F.A.Q.:

How do I make a background image transparent?

First, make sure that you do not draw anything on the white layer that's at the bottom of your oekaki, you have to hide it. The checkered background has to be showing. Finish, save and post the oekaki.

How to get the image URL (on internet explorer):

• Step one: Right-click the image you want, and then click properties in the menu that shows up.
• Step two: Highlight and copy the Image Adress (URL).

Okay, so here is the URL for my drawing, just the way it looks when I copy the image location:

Code: Select all

http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=575807&size=large&format=auto&rev=2

You see the part that says format=auto close to the end of the URL? If you change auto to png the image will show up with a transperant background. The code now looks like this:

Code: Select all

http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=575807&size=large&format=png&rev=2

If you post this code with img tags around it, it will show up corrrectly with transperant background.

Code: Select all

Omg I did it! Tysm!

Also that guide isn’t exactly accurate for mobile (at least apple on safari) phones, you have to preview the post before you actually post it and get the art link from there, otherwise if you try get it from already posted it just leads to the post?? Thanks anyway! It DID help! :3
