Oekaki Rules and Information
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.
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.
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. |
oh no...

hahahahahahahaha. imagine making a post about the awesome things happening in your life a mere 12 hours before your university announces that they're closing within the week and you don't have a school anymore. literally what are the chances.
i don't really need to come on here to vent but... it feels wrong to not amend my previous post ahahaha. i'm not going to go into super detail because i don't want to reveal my location/university here but yeah. my school is closing. i'm 4 years into a 5 year program and the closest schools that offer the same program are 5+ hours away. if my credits even transfer. i have 24 credits left on this Master's Degree and god knows what's going to happen now. so, uh, let's amend my previous post.
so, uh, one big kick in the teeth. a great ending to my time in undergrad. laughing at these old posts from when i was committing to my university. oh, you sweet summer child in the prime of COVID.... "an overwhelming sense of dread" still cant drive ✌️ failed my test on parallel parking twice and then started having seizure activity and was barred from taking the test again until that figured itself out ✌️ then it got itself figured out but i went to the hospital and then had to deal with graduating ✌️✌️✌️ crow asked to be included in this post so i will be announcing that crow stayed up all night with me and watched game changer from like midnight to 5am . i would be sobbing crying if not for that . for once crow is a benefit not a detriment to my mental health. also buzz and cin were there <3 |

sweathie's bi-yearly life update
woah, sweathie's alive?
yeah! hi everyone :) it's been a few months since i abruptly stopped posting but I figured I owe you all (and want to give) a little life update! I stopped posting back in November/December 2023 because I suffered a Pretty Bad mental break and ended up going to the hospital. My friends and I decided that it would be best for me to make a clean break from CS/Discord for a period to avoid additional stress on my life and my relationships. I was dealing with a lot in my real life in November and didn't have the mental capacity to keep up with Internet Life. I want to extend a gracious thank you to everyone on the Chicoon Staff, especially the moderation team and the archive team, for helping out and taking over for me as well as being understanding when I was not in the best mental space <3 <3 I'm doing a hell of a lot better now and some pretty big life things happened! - I graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA from my University. I got my Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Illustration! - I will be staying for a 5th year to complete my Master of Art in Teaching- this has been my plan since starting at University and I'm so glad I will be able to achieve it. - I won an award for my Senior Year work from my University <3 - My University's Graduate program is sending me to New York state over the summer to participate in a symposium! - I was part of the voting committee to elect a new bishop in my synod and was also our previous bishop's assissting minister during the first day of voting processes. I care deeply about our previous bishop and am excited for what our new bishop will bring to the synod as an openly gay man (and as a friend of my father LOL)! - I am ~officially~ part of a publication through my work. Part of my stress at the end of last year was getting our piece out to be published, but now it is! - I celebrated 7 years with my wonderful boyfriend <3 Obviously this is just the peaks of the last 6 months of my life, a lot of Normal stuff happened and obviously some Bad stuff happened, but I'm glad to be able to share that all with you :) I'm still pretty active on Discord and TH if anyone wants to reconnect! I don't know if I'll be getting into the swing of things on CS anytime soon, but I've been on this website for 12 years (as of 9 days ago🎉), I'm not leaving anytime soon! |

mermay redraw 2024
based on this drawing by kageyenova
i think this'll be the last time i redraw this piece on oekaki. next will have to be on a larger canvas, i genuinely struggled using the tools this time around - and i'm pretty dissatisfied with the shading and limited textures. but, i don't think its bad. i have some pride. i'll do better next year :] |
ophanimera @ Sat Jun 01, 2024 10:42 am shrimply fantastic 👍👍 seeing your improvement is so motivating as an artist fr |

mermay redraw 2023
based on this drawing by kageyenova
i think next year i'm gonna move this tradition off-oekaki :'] i wish i could be more proud of this but the canvas size is just soo small!! and it takes so long w/o a proper magic wand tool smh this has been fun doing this every year on cs though. maybe i'll do more simple redraws on-site |

has it really been... 3? 4? 5? years already? i still miss doing growths but i stopped bc i was always so unhappy with my line art skills. and drawing hair. and drawing fur. and just anything. in short i was unhappy with my art skills. but now i'm also more busy and picked up other hobbies and interests too so like. cs just takes the backburner. i didn't even expect to pop on at all, i remember thinking a few weeks ago that'd i'd basically quit this site. here i am again 👊😀 i'd be more active if i had something to do. i just check forums and call it a day. |
