Pawprint.ing is a furry art-sharing and social platform similar to Swapdoodle or Miiverse, where users create and exchange pawprints (small postcard-sized doodles) made using the site's drawing system. It's a fun and interactive way for artists to share quick sketches with each other in a casual and engaging environment, with a focus on fun doodling rather than perfection. No external uploads are allowed, everything on the site has to be made on the site with strict rules against AI generation and tracing.

Core Features

• 🎨 Custom Drawing System
  A completely custom drawing system with layers, draft saving, and many tools - no uploading required. All art is made directly on the site using the site's built-in tools.
• 📝 Personal Journals
  Create and maintain personal journals to document your thoughts, ideas, and artistic journey on the platform.
• 🔄 Pawception Game
  A Drawception clone using pawprints! Play a drawing telephone game where users take turns describing a drawing and then drawing the description, until it ends up completely different.
• 🧩 Furdle
  A Wordle clone with furry words - test your knowledge and guess the furry-themed word of the day!
• 🎨 Seasonal Themed Events
  Participate in seasonal themed drawing events with voting. Draw whatever you want for the specified theme, then vote on your favorites at the end.
• 🎫 Artist Raffles
  Artists can create raffles on the site with various entry requirements. Set conditions like following you or marking specific pawprints, then randomly select winners to receive your art.
• 🎬 Animation Creator
  Create animations using pawprints. Build frame-by-frame animations directly on the platform.
• 🏷️ Comprehensive Tagging System
  A comprehensive tagging database based on e621, featuring parent tags, aliases, and blacklisting capabilities. The system operates on a "tag what you know" principle - we care about what the artist says it is, not random assumptions.
• 🔞 Content Control
  Opt-in system for typically controversial content, similar to e621, with a default blacklist. Only content allowed under UK law is permitted (so no young humans). Full privacy controls and a massive user settings system where you can toggle on/off most features, including who can see your art and who can interact with you.
• 🏆 Badge System
  Earn profile badges for completing tasks and milestones on the site. Show off your achievements to the community!
• 🎭 Character System
  Create characters that work as character references. Each character collects all art with your character's tag into their own gallery, including links to reference sheets. Features a fully customizable colour scheme that can be directly copied into the drawing window for accurate representation.
• 💸 PayPal Donations
  Artists can accept PayPal donations through the site. Pawprinting doesn't take anything - 100% of donations go directly to the artist.
• 📤 Export to e621
  Directly export your pawprints to e621 with all relevant tags and metadata.
• 📕 Templates
  Create templates that let other people use your template as a base for their own art. Share your templates with the community!
• 👥 Art Requests
  Send and receive art requests (if you accept them). Connect with artists and request custom artwork.
• 💬 Live Messaging
  Live DM system to contact friends and artists. Chat privately with any user on the platform in real-time.
• 🧩 Pawzzles
  A collaborative game where multiple people make a big image by each drawing a small section of it like a mosaic. Work together to create something amazing!
• ✏️ Pawprint Sharing
  Send pawprints to yourself or any other user on the site - anonymously or not. Pawprints can also be traded around profiles by sending them to another user from your own profile.
• 💬 Community Interactions
  Follow your friends or favorite artists, and engage with the community by commenting on any pawprint.
• 🛡️ Security & Protection
  Protected using Cloudflare for DDoS protection. While we can't guarantee absolute protection (if people can take down multi-billion dollar websites, that's about as good as it gets), we do our best to keep the site secure and accessible.
• 📬 Active Postbox
  Very active postbox system with sections for suggestions, event themes, and reports (both user reports and bug reports). Your feedback helps shape the platform!
• ❓ Searchable Help System
  Comprehensive, searchable help system that explains commonly asked topics. The help system can be dynamically added to by staff, keeping it up-to-date with the latest features and information.
• 🆓 Free & Non-Monetized
  No monetization other than optional artist donations. This is a free project dedicated to the community, built for artists by artists.
