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.

The King's Rage
by SnowyEevee @ Sat May 25, 2024 4:35 am [Reply]

After defeating the False King and freeing the Ancestor Titan, the King started to be driven mad by power, if anyone were in his way... well. they were defeated, the King's hunger for power had corrupted them, cities were reduced to rubble, the King is now the feared Titan it used to be in the past, they call him, Godzilla The Monster who Ate a Star. There is no saving your King now...

anyways, i was listening to Pensacola, Florida (Godzilla's Theme) and i wanted 2 draw this, i was originally gonna add more skin detail but i got lazy and decided no, ngl the EvoGoji design has grown on me, though the DougheGoji and GareGoji (i think thats the name for it?) designs are still my preferred Godzilla designs lol

national tootle day!
by espen. @ Fri May 24, 2024 10:26 am [Reply]

this should not have taken 6 hours, but i was playing dragon adventures on roblox so my attention was very divided lol

one of the 2 things i can recall off the top of my head when asked what i like about windows is the little graphics they use for the search bar thingy at the bottom. i saw a turtle and was like omg tootle?!?? i found out it was turtle day and drew a hawksbill turtle, except my stylus DIED part way thru and i restarted my computer twice and it still doesnt work hhhhhhhh

image reference from noaa

-edit: ill finish when my stylus revives itself

-edit edit: OK its done, i will never draw another turtle shell to save my life! i tried like 5 different times to make this one and settled on whatever i did there

free redesigns by me
by valkyrie,, @ Fri May 24, 2024 6:35 am [Reply]

i'm so sorry mods i have no clue what topic to post this under

have an old design of mine? do they need a little freshening up? i'm offering free redesigns!
just reply with an image or link to the char and some info (please link chars not a whole folder)
i might redesign other chars not made by me if they interest me, but that's a big maybe lol


i probably won't get to everyone! i'll be doing the ones i pick in my free time, not fcfs
you don't have to use the redesign, i won't be offended i swear


rules/info
my redesign does not add worth to the char
once again i am asking you to credit my th👍

*also pretty please do not immediately flip to trade/sell the design, you can trade if you want but i would really like if you want to keep the character c:

guys i swear to god my [blind, cataract-y] dog can see. every single day he follows me around, right? so sometimes i'll notice him just. staring at me. exactly like this. he looks at me with both the utmost admiration and stupidity. he is so simple. so silly. such a baby. such a sweet little fellow. his little bum wiggles along with his tail and he snorts sometimes. he likes to sneeze when he's happy and i'll say, "dexter, i love youuuu!!!" and he'll go "SNORTT HONK SSSSSSSNORT" and dance. it's SO freaking cute guys.

help me paint a sculpture :D
by ♥ mizu @ Thu May 23, 2024 1:39 pm [Reply]

ok so i've had my eye on this horsey sculpture at the thrift store ever since it came out and i've been waiting for it to go on sale so i could grab it. it finally did, and, since i've wanted to paint it since i first saw it, i figured maybe it'd be fun if i got my cs friends to help me?

Image
Image
(i don't have a fully frontal image)

i know it might hurt some people that i'm painting it, but a) it doesn't go with my room, b) i waited to see if anyone else wanted it and they didn't, and c) the paintjob actually isn't as clean as it looks, it's a bit uneven looking :c i think it's also one of those things meant to be painted as the inside is hollow and there's no paint there. there isn't even a brand

i originally wanted to paint cupid on it or maybe even eva. stormy would be cute too, or maybe apricot. i also have closed species horses but i'm not as connected with those guys. i want to do something that's simple enough i can do with just a paintbrush and sponge but not simple like spirit, even though i love him. i could also do a fandom character. so, what do you guys think? literally any suggestions welcome, i won't be offended x)

kaju @ Thu May 23, 2024 1:44 pm

    voting for eva or apricot, would be a fun challenge! however any of your characters would look lovely painted, great find bliss!! please update us when you finish <3 cant wait to see what you do!

    I agree, or even sephora!

coffee.berry @ Thu May 23, 2024 4:39 pm

    okay first of all that horse sculpture looks ADORABLE!!
    you're so lucky to have found it hehe :3
    i feel like all of those horsies would be pretty good for
    the design, but cupid would be most fitting because of
    the simple yet cute design!! or else my advice would be
    to find some spin the wheel site and put your chosen
    horses there and whichever the wheel lands on, paint!
    omggg im actually so excited to see how this comes out
    weee <3

HELP I GOT STUNG BY A YELLOW JACKET
by ♥ mizu @ Thu May 23, 2024 12:31 pm [Reply]

guys i have a story to tell you.

i was taking a shower after school today. i noticed there was a yellow jacket in the bathroom - there have been multiple in there within the past week, maybe there's a hive in the vent or something. so i left the door hoping it would leave.

i went to my room and then went to dinner. after i was done, i returned to my room, keen on playing star stable and buying a bunch of horses because i was tired and there is a bazaar. i plopped into my bed.

3 seconds in and i noticed a bright pain emerging right. in. MY. BUMCHEEK. i almost SCREAMED. i jumped 3 feet while my soul went 6 feet under. it hurt SO. BAD. IT WENT RIGHT THROUGH MY PJS. I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM AND IT'S RIGHT LIKE A BULLSEYE ON MY BUM. IT HURTS SO BAD GUYS. i put on zinc (baby cream) and it actually helped quite a lot but i swear to GOD i hope that yellowjacket died violently, i really do. it was in. MY. BED

i didn't cry, miraculously. instead i went and bought 2 horses instead of 1 as a treat because i was good and the bee was bad. i also have another thing to share later but for now i'm going to mope and take a shower

arcadia. @ Thu May 23, 2024 12:59 pm
