Face Focus

Maybe I don't know what Monday is...

Anyways for today's chicken I have decided to firmly focus on the face. Do birds have faces? It feels a bit off, but I think it's find. That beak/eye area is the focus of today's chicken maker experience. Not outline the body lets it shine through more.

Robe of Stars

The mysterious wizard was cloaked in a Robe of Stars. It was so distinctive one could almost, but not quite, forget that they were also a giant talking bird.

Mirrored Shapes

Perhaps this is a bit too wide, but with a striking form you can look at and nod knowingly.

I know I just said I was going to follow a schedule, and then immediately failed, but let's just ignore that. This Tuesday post is basically a Monday post.

Negative Spray – March 2025 Wallpaper


This piece is an exercise in the art of intentional imperfections. Because this is all digital it's somewhat trivial to get perfectly straight lines and perfect coverage with perfectly flat colors. Using physical paints you just naturally get a bit of texture or a slight fade from uneven coats, but here that simply isn't the case. When applying the color to the chicken's features I struggled to leave gaps without ugly chunks, because I also very much didn't want things to just be a solid color, but weird blocks not colored in are ugly.

Thank you for joining us for another wallpaper I should have posted two months ago. Might be time for me to enforce a schedule on myself again. Let's call it Mondays and Thursdays. That seems manageable for now and I'm saying it publicly so maybe it will actually happen

Long Legs

Stand tall, look firm and show off those nice long juicy drumsticks. The striking appearance is just oh so tasty.

Red Cultist

The red cultist's eye shine with an eerie light. 

Gotta focus on the core fundamentals, chickens in silly hats. Of course that isn't literal. It doesn't need to have a hat, any cheap Halloween costume is fine.

Learning

Every day you can learn something new and when you do don't let people mock you. How were you supposed to know this thing wasn't a dog?

Twisted Heart – February 2025 Wallpaper


Letting one of these "monthly" wallpapers roll over into the next month doesn't really bother me, but this one is from February.

This bird suffers from the crushing experience of reality as it encounters the lovecraftian horror of love. (since this should have been for Valentine's Day) As the chicken's whole world falls apart, left cold and alone without a cute hen in sight, sweet whispers come from the void.

Colorful Coat

This time we have a bird in a colorful coat with a striking scarf for contrast. Theme? Meaning? No, just gaudy for the sake of gaudiness.

If I owned it I would be too embarrassed to wear it in public.

Vibrant Mirror


I enjoy a minimalist chicken, but I needed to add some gaudy colors or it would feel lacking. It was decent black on white, but now it aims to the top with a look I can only call a Vibrant Mirror
