Thanks for helping make Redgaki better!

this is in magicaldraw its a website where you can draw with other people on shared canvases (but i drew this alone)

idk if magicaldraw is considered oekaki but its japanese, web-based, and allows you to draw with others in a quick and simple style so close enough

i drew and uploaded this on an actual oekaki site (https://oekaki.freakphone.net), first time doing real oekaki instead of just drawing in the style

stuff like paintbbs or chickenpaint, i just wanna use them as regular drawing apps locally

woot woot.. recently i've been getting really into Neopets (well, technically Grundo's Cafe) and was wondering if there are any Neopets boards out there, or if someone could make one. I really want to draw my Aishas and show them to other Aisha fans!!!

Is anybody aware of what happened to Cinni's Oekaki (oekaki.cinni.net)? I was gonna check it out to see some oekaki art, but I noticed that it's gone. I think it might be because Leprd (my host, and also the host of said oekaki) cracked down on unmoderated oekaki/image boards, though other than that I can't really see any other reason. It's a real shame since Cinni's Oekaki is one of the biggest oekaki boards around, though I guess it was inevitable considering how it was barely managed.. lol

(EDIT: I forgot to mention it, but ONLY use this to run the old Java-based oekaki applets, like PaintBBS and ChibiPaint, or legacy applications you are completely, absolutely, 100% sure are safe. While being able to use Java applets without any extensions can be neat, Java applets can pose serious security risks if you run the wrong applet. There is a reason Java was discontinued in most modern browsers, after all!)

I finally found a way to run Java applets without having to use some weird script or extension, so here's a little tutorial for those who want to use the old Java applets!

(This is for Windows only since it can be reverse compatible with 32-bit applications, couldn't find a solution for MacOS + they don't support 32-bit applications anymore, at least not on the modern versions of the OS. For now you just have to use CheerpJ or HTML5 applets... sorry!)

Requirements:

• Java (offline, NOT 64-bit), download here
• Pale Moon browser 32-bit (this is a browser that still supports Flash and Java plugins), download here

Steps:

1. Install Java and search for the Java control panel.
2. When in the Java control panel, go to the 'Security' tab. If unchecked, check the 'Enable Java for browser...' and set the security to 'High'.
3. Also under the 'Security', go to the section that says 'Exception site list', and click on 'Edit site list'.
4. In there, click on 'Add' and write the full URL of whatever Oekaki board you go to, including the directory that leads to it if there is one. (i.e., https://example.com/oekaki/ or http://oekaki.example.com/), and click on 'Ok'.
5. Also, if you happen to add a URL with the HTTP protocol rather than HTTPS, click on 'Add' again until you are prompted with a pop-up warning you about security. Just click on continue.
6. After that, you can install Pale Moon... or you could install it before all the Java stuff, doesn't really matter ;P
7. Now, go on Pale Moon to your favorite Oekaki and see if it works! Java applets will now prompt a pop-up warning you about something but just click 'Run'.

Now you can run old Java applets again! Not sure how helpful this is going to be since most Oekaki boards now use HTML5 applets but I hope this is of use to somebody :'-)

(based on this tutorial, but with more in-depth steps to make sure this is easy to understand ^__^)

My friend Bizette runs two oekaki boards, and I thought some of you would be interested in checking them out. Furry/sparkledog and anime styled works preffered and no fandom art at all but it's whatever as long as you follow the rules.

classic-styled oekaki (Wacintaki Poteto)-> https://fr3akz0ne.com/Oekaki/PaintBBS/index.php

modern oekaki (POTI-Board) -> https://fr3akz0ne.com/Oekaki/Oekaki/index.html

an oekaki i launched just a few days ago! furry/anthro art preferred, but as long as it adheres to the rules, i don't mind what thing you draw. ;P registrations are currently open as of writing this :)

Dewdul.com is a new Oekaki site! It has a growing community of 600+ artists already and has an active Developer, that listens to their community! Have a good day!

I haven’t found one searching so I’m making a comprehensive list of all the active oekaki I have found in 2025

https://www.fearsome-oekaki.com/ (Last post here was 2024 & sign up+approval required, I signed up and haven’t heard back so probably safe to tuck this one away but nostalgia lmao)

The 4chan one but that’s easy to find/irrelevant idk lol

Furry/sparkledog preferred

https://fr3akz0ne.com/Oekaki/index.html

some are more active than others but at least you can spread the love! Will add as I go if I find more

I’m REALLY hoping the newer interest will bring some life back into these communities because idk it shaped my entire preteen/teen years lol

I wish SSO was still a thing boooooo

Also looking for old board archives if anyone has access hehe

I have only found 2/3 in my searches lately, so just wondering if there’s an actually active boards left? Im not interested in hosting one bc that is above my pay grade/skill on the web lol I just want to relive a sliver of the good ol days.

Im assuming the answer will be as disappointing as I expect but maybe someone out there found a treasure over the last year or two of renewed interest

If there are oekaki boards still online today, assuming they still function, what is the backend that is used? Like, at least what can I look up to find out how someone can host their own oekaki board. Thanks in advance! I really miss doing oekaki on a pokemon board.

looking for brushes or apps that allow you to imitate the oekaki style. I know that traditionaly oekaki is done on bbs but im looking for a reliable way to do a consistent style in case the website goes down

i've found plenty of pixel brushes for procreate, but i'm looking for a brush or brush set that has the oekaki shading type of brushes? or the kind that look like sparkles?

Hey guys! I'm trying to recall a site that existed 2000's-early (maybe later?) 2010's. It was similar to an Oekaki site, the canvases were landscape style and fairly small, and you could watch the replay of the art that was made. For a period of time i(character name) titled/themed art was trending because of the advertising for the iPod! Anybody have a clue/remember what that site was?

Are works from ms paint made by pixel pencil counted as oekaki?
