Fuzzy
Trees and Fireworks
Make sure to give it a good stare so you can see the brown chicken silhouette in the lower right.
Dodge Lasers
Like the most graceful cat burglar the chicken bounds through the laser grid. Little does the bird burglar realize it will all be for nothing. The alarms will go off when the statue is moved.
Swoosh
Cloud
Rainbow Line
Eyebrow
I meant this to remind you of Ryu from Street Fighter, but I might have landed closer to Kenshiro.
Flawless Dodge
The Copy
The bird and the copy stared at one another, but it was a challenging puzzle. Was he the original or the copy? Others said it was obvious which was the real one, but they hadn't managed to figure it out yet. They were clearly identical.
Retagging
I've been retagging literally everything on the site. You may have noticed for example that MS Paint is now #mspaint. It's been very tedious, but I want you to be able to find all of the lightning or cowboy chickens at a single click. Or at the very least I would like to be able to find them.
Still working on it to add some more fun tags so you can find things more easily, but there are more than 2000 on the site, so it will probably take a while to get them totally filled out.
Also this hopefully makes tags correctly on twitter now, but I won't know for sure until I post this.
EDIT: It does.
Silhouette Kill
Stealth and blood. A single strike to the head with the spur of the chicken's leg and blood sprays.
The moment reaches a climax and we get a stylistic transition to the next scene.
Side
I need to switch to some more dynamic content. Maybe a gaudy fantasy theme or something.
Stare – May 2022 Wallpaper
Mildly Frustrated
Neon Glow
Looking
Of course the real secret is that the head isn't defined and both left and right are in white.
Cloud Fall
Flared
Trying Hard – April 2022 Wallpaper
As always these wallpapers would not be made without the support of my Patreon supporters. Go there and give me a dollar. They get to see an exclusive bonus chicken every month.
Fighting Game
Fighting Head-to-Head in a best two out of three. Punch in that crazy input and use your... um...
I can't figure out a good chicken pun for Hadoken and any other special move feels too obscure to reference. Like half the special moves in these games end in -ken because it means fist and I guess I can roll that into Chicken, but that just gives us things like Ha-do-chicken. That is fun enough but I'm not satisfied with it.
Anyways I like King of Fighters if I'm picking a fighting game, though I haven't played the newest one yet.Face Him!
Face him! A mere bird is smaller than you so it will surely lose to your passion.
Ready For Music
Are you ready for the music? Are you ready for the beat? If so you are at the wrong website. Audio is an enemy I dare not face. We only make these MS Paint Chicken drawings.
Looking Up
Things are looking up, not that they ever aren't. I, for one, am feeling fantastic. Sky is blue. Grass is green and I'm walking with my head held high. Usually my vague ramblings tend toward getting past the hard times because it's a more interesting narrative to ramble about than "Life is Good!" but we all deserve some much needed positivity.
Forest Egg
The festive hen wearing colorful rabbit ears watches the mysterious forest egg as it starts to hatch. Would it be malevolent or heaven-sent? Would it be a bird or a bunny?
Happy Easter. I hope you're all enjoying the spring holiday.
Rolling Hills
A simple fowl just living among the rolling hills.
Been busy with other stuff, but we'll have some more fun Chicken Maker content soon.
Spray Flip
This is a 9:16 aspect ratio so theoretically it works as a phone background but it's probably too small in practice.
Business
Recipe: Roast Cornish Hen
Squiggle
Small Madness
Birb
Just your basic birb to get this moving again. Look into his beady little eye. So much cruel ambition, or at least vacant thoughtlessness.
Green – March 2022 Wallpaper
This month's wallpaper, in keeping with the site anniversary, is green. Thematically we're going with green and stylistically also green. If you have any question, like the artist's motivations or major inspirations for the piece you should be able to safely assume the answer is green.
Special thanks to my Patreon Supporters. Wildly exceeding my original goal of making pennies a day, you guys rock.
13 Years of Chicken Maker
Today marks the end of our lucky 13th year of ChickenMaker.net content. Going back through this year's pieces I thought a lot of them were older than they are. The site might be stagnated a bit so we should probably start an exciting new project soon, like a coffee table book or something.
Comment on this, let me know if you have a cool idea or a favorite on here or just want to say it's neat. On the blog, on the Facebook, on the Twitter.
Below we have our annual best-of the year green variants. (Happy St. Patrick's Day) As a bonus I have Bird ala Gameboy, a smaller pixel piece using the already green classic Gameboy palette, which I'm always fond of.
Strong Stance is a bit generic |
I never did anything with this Simple Monocolor Character |
There's no Question. |
Doing Pixel Dailies for a month was a fun activity |
The Bat is the highpoint in this classic-feeling piece |
This is undeniably Iconic |
Deep Holler Remake was a special request from a Patreon supporter |
Barbarian (sticker) is part of a series that's actually almost done now |
This one is about Dirt. No more messaging |
Stretched
Abandon yourself. Forsake form and forsake function. Embrace only the moment of sheer acceleration as you distort away from this reality and into... ChickenMaker.net
Please read this as an Outer Limits narration.
Bird Skull
I hate drawing skeleton. Years ago I said never again, but I wanted a skull for an offhand background element in that wallpaper so I had to do some practice and I posted on twitter. And someone said it looked like a car so also with wheels... This is the kind of content the internet likes.
Alien
Cyborg – February 2022 Wallpaper
This month's wallpaper is a cross between two classic Chicken Maker pieces, Future Imperfect and Cyborg Chicken W. (Both of which had remakes in Future Imperfect Once More and Cyborg Chicken W REMAKER!) Nice to draw from my vast back catalogue on occasion. I've had so many half baked ideas.
Special thanks, as always, to my Patreon supporters. Get over there and give me a dollar?
