oekaki thumbnails discussion {READ FIRST POST}

...but I wanted to come here to also point out that most of the things being locked are made by larger artists, and not people who come and go.

Hm, really? I noticed two people on this Character for Character thread got their art locked because it was off-Oekaki, and i don't think they're big artists.

Also, remember how Dia said the off-Oekaki rule has been enforced since 2015? Me and a few other people all did off-Oekaki art on that same thread, but these aren't locked. Maybe it's because we did it before the mods went locking everything, i dunno.

Those that weren't locked didn't have a doodle on the Oekaki whatsoever. I suppose it's possible the mods only checked a certain amount of pages in the 'Challenge Accepted'?

That's what I meant to point out, was people who post on C4C threads, not so much small artists.

There’s always been an issue with sharing criticism on CS, no matter how polite someone is about it.

along with what everyone is saying above, the problem with the off oekaki art boards is that... nobody really pays attention to them at all. posting your art there or selling adopts or anything really is basically just leaving your art to rot with no attention.

also, locking every singe oekaki piece with offsite art below it completely ruins the community aspect. i personally hate using chicken paint. it's confusing, has limited tools and sizes, it's too clunky, and runs way too slow on my laptop. but i'd still love to take part in the community with species myos or character for characters!

sure, i could post the characters in the thread, or dm the characters to the person i drew them for, but i feel like that... would be just as, if not more, spammy than a cover? i mean, would you rather scroll through a thread of dozens of large images, have your dms spammed with art being sent, or... have a nice, clean gallery to go through and see each entry, both off and on oekaki together so they don't get lost?

Could not agree more about the off Oekaki boards.

wanna know what's really spammy? Seeing those giant red locks everywhere. *In oekaki

Anyways oekaki/chickenpaint is basically impossible to use. It took me 15 minutes to color in 3 colors on a premade base. Because I can't SCROLL. Because I can't SKETCH. because I can't do hardly anything on an ipad, the device I have.

Y e s, it’s such a hassle to view/ use the off-oekaki boards. That’s why people are doing this in the first place. If their art was able to easily viewed as it is on the oekaki boards, nobody would be doing this.

And this excludes so many artists from the CS community too.... honestly not the best decision I’ve seen made by chickensmoothie

not gonna get too much into this discussion, but i do agree.
as i do find it easier to navigate the oekaki boards by far. i hardly hear anyone ever talk or use the art boards honestly, from what i've seen. chicken paint is really hard for me to use, due to the lack of tools. my main problem with chicken paint is the canvas sizing. it's so impeccably hard to draw on that it's painful and hurts my hands to some degree trying to use a small space is extremely hard. lots of people have used oekaki for off-posting art, and it's not an uncommon sight on oekaki, even for bigger artists, and smaller ones. i find it really hard to use chickenpaint and it limits my artistic ability to some degree. the red lock has become infamous, and for good reason. if there's going to be a lock on the canvas, i'd make it small in a corner. having a giant red lock is extremely inconvenient and infurating.


made a quick example;


[ this image is not locked, just took the lock symbol and placed it over a doodle as an example of what it would be better looking like. this way it's not in your face, but you know it's there.]

i think chickenpaint does need an update to some extent honestly. the oekaki is a major part of the boards, and where a lot of members reside.
