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.

hello chicken smoothie. Today is a drawing i made. today is a drawing of the smooth i got from the pound. His name is stephano I think that is spanish name. hola chicken smoothie! (that is spanish for hello) they are from 2013 and they are a very uncommon. when i adopted it i thought it was already adopted because i got the message saying it was, and when i went back it said i already adopted one so my ears folded down. however, when i checked my invantory it say i got it! yippie! i know the body doesn't look the greatest, but that is because when i left the tab for a little bit the color whell wasn't working so i used the smudge tool to spread the green i already put down. I'm happy with the smooth i got, but id like to know what smooth YOU got from the pound! please do not say that this is bad and ai generated. If you tell me that my art is bad and ai generated i will tell my tomboy best friend berketex and she will never ever EVER trade with you again. but mostly because if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! also, i'm commisioning anywhere between 3-58 chicken smoothie dollars for art because my mom spends her money on cigarettes instead of me so i need to do commisions to get chicken dollars and my revenue is drying up. and remember, the more chicken dolalrs, the more good the art! (the attached image is stephano)

KrillTakoyaki @ Mon May 20, 2024 2:52 pm

Amazing work as always! He has a very friendly smile, and the streak of green really makes the design pop! I missed the same pound you got best boy Stephano from, but here's a recent grab I got :)

by ♥ mizu @ Fri Mar 15, 2024 5:39 pm [Reply]

so i'm currently working on tails. i have a lot done and i'm just. SO excited to share this!!! i might make a p2u version with accessories but the basic one will be f2u. this one has so many eyes, manes, horns, and wings and i am just so stoked to share it. i'm really praying it won't get copyright locked but i did take a lot of liberties with the style (note the legs and shading) and i've seen bases that are nearly identical to the show's style so... let's hope it's ok.

i would really love to add some people to test this out so comment if you'd like to be added ^^ i'm only going to be adding 5 people atm since i just need a small sample size. i would really prefer it if you're an artist who is quite comfortable with the oekaki program and can make line edits since this editable has a lot of layers that might clip through each other. nothing too hard just like erasing intersecting lines haha. i'd love some feedback from the people who i do add.

The Cure @ Fri Mar 15, 2024 5:47 pm

I haven't drawn anything just for myself in a long time, so I drew the first character I saw when I opened my Toyhou.se, which just happened to be Maryx <3

I drew him super small at first because I was planning on drawing more characters, but then I started really enjoying drawing him; I'm so glad that they added the sharp transform feature TwT

MY VAGABONDS OCS!!!
by ClarkG23 @ Mon May 20, 2024 6:11 am [Reply]

The Vagabonds are owned by Rocky road raccoon, go check the their art out!!!!
LORE:
So Carly was born in the woods near a small neighborhood with 2 other siblings named Remy and Yogurt and they lived with their mother Di. Their father, Orion was an outdoor cat but still lived with humans and visited them when he could bringing food with him just in case they didn’t have any prey. Then about 10 months, the neighborhood wanted to build houses in the woods and started building a fence around the woods because they were going to tear it down. The prey started disappearing and the woods became very unsafe but Di didn’t really understand what was going on and didn’t want to scare her kits with her knowledge that might not have been true. One day, Carly was playing tag with her siblings and got too close to the edge of the woods (near the fences) and was running at full speed. By the time she noticed the fence it was too late, she tried to stop herself but that just caused her to flip over and… let’s just say the fence didn’t like her, ( I couldn’t show the injury on CS because I don’t want to risk getting reported and banned.) Her mother took her and her siblings quickly to were Orions humans lived and they took Carly to the vet and she healed properly but the humans didn’t want five cats so they sold the kits and Di and Orion had no idea that would happen and were devastated and never had kits again fearing they’d have to feel the pain of letting go of their children again. Carly got adopted by a man who later adopted adopted Banana a couple year as later. Banana never knew her parents because her mom passed away a couple of days after she was born and never knew her father. She never knew her brother either because he had a nose deformity so a staff member at the SPCA she lived at took him home before she ever met him. She’s very happy though most of the time and is one of the only things that cheers Carly up. One day though out of nowhere their human left them in the house alone and never came back, (It was a situation was a parent that would need 24/7 care and they were allergic to cats and the human thought that Carly would teach Banana how to survive in the wild.) So when they were roaming the streets, they met the Vagabonds and joined their group!!!

If your wondering what color eyes Bananas eye are they’re blue and Carly got the little nip in the ear from a spikey branch when she was really young and it didn’t hurt her and her siblings though she was really cool for it.
