Somber – December 2023 Wallpaper

The holidays are over, so for this month's wallpaper we're going with a more esoteric mood.

I always appreciate you guys leaving a comment, liking on social media, sending me emails, however you like to interact. Thanks for your support over the past year. Let's look forward to the next one!

Winning

Just remember. You might not be winning, but he is. This chicken doesn't even know what to do with a gold medal.

Traditional Christmas End (2023)

And now we've reached the end of this festive day. Join me as the traditional Christmas Fowl soars through the red sky of dusk on his golden star, leaving the green light of Spring in his wake.

And with that we close out this Christmas in the most traditional of manners.

Snowfall

I was dreaming of a white Christmas. It snowed earlier this week, but it's just wet now. At least in this picture it's a picturesque winter wonderland though.

The Tree

 This festive day starts from the tree. Look up upon its glory, and feel the spirit of the season overtake you.

Baseball

Some people say the season for baseball is summer. They are correct.

Now knock out a homerun in your life!

Gold

Gold necklace. Gold glasses. I was going to go gold watch, but there's no wrists on a birds.
 

Rainbow Trail

The path one walks is only shown by the myriad colors of potential and possibilities...

Or something like that.

Sunset Silhouette

Enjoy things even as the details are hidden by the golden light of sunset.

Alright

I know we've been a bit slow this month, but everything is alright. Just finishing up my end of the year work.

This one has some nice angles.

Charging

 

When the stakes are high and it's all laid out on the table will you charge into danger or run away from it?

The pan is sizzling and the eggs are cracked. Are you charging?

Samurai

Don't give up samurai! Your gritty de-saturated journey to overthrow the shogunate, save your love, and restore your fallen family's honor is still ahead of us.

Chicken with a funny hat is my favorite content.

Spray Painterly — November 2023 Wallpaper

Painterly styles discard linework in favor of a focus on shapes and brushstrokes. This is MS Paint though so the old reliable Spray Can is the closest thing we have to a brush. Well, I've done this sort of thing before, but for this one I wanted less filled out look so it has simpler colors and bits of the 'canvas' peaking through 

Special thanks to our supporters on Ko-Fi and Patreon. I encourage everyone to leave a comment, or like it on facebook, or give me a dollar... whatever you're feeling I really do appreciate it.

Thanksgiving Turkey

By far the most questionable content on this site. Here is our annual-ish turkey. To my fellow Americans, Happy Thanksgiving. And to the rest of you have a great Thursday.

Into the Blue Sky

Sometimes when you're frustrated you just need to shout into the blue sky and let it out into the world.

Then you can go back to being your usual boring self and relax.

It's a Bird

Please consider the deeper meaning and nuance of this piece. In the foreground we have a humble hen. In the background just the word Bird repeated. I hope this message resonates with anyone who needed to see it.

Professional — October 2023 Wallpaper

October's wallpaper is a nice professional one that is appropriate in any workplace. Just a cool muted blue with geometric shapes on it, some of which are naturally chickens, as to appeal to the youth or whatever my fanbase is. I suppose I could actually use this at work but that's just crazy talk. (Unless...)

Burst

Burst onto the scene right at the climax!

The theme song starts to play as the chicken prepares to deliver a devastating monologue.

But, all the bird had to say was "Bawk bawk baw-kawk!"

Angles

This piece is made of nice orange angles. It's a more refreshing color palette. Not sure I can say the same for those diamond eyes though.

Soda

I really want a soda but it's night time and I don't keep things like that in my house, because when I do I drink them all.

Also I prefer coke, but this non-copyright infringing logo clearly isn't that.

Halloween 2023

Usually on Halloween I make multiple posts for the season. This year I decided against that and just made one... Which I then forgot to post. So let's start off November strong with a Happy Halloween

We have all the core holiday themes. Pumpkin, Witch, Frankenstein's Monster and Ghost. Thank you for indulging me.

Reflected Dream

The dream within the dream is a reflection of the self. Questioning reality as it shows a shocking sight. If the reflection in the mirror is nothing but an inverted bird, does that mean there's nothing to you but a chicken?

I like bright over-saturated colors.

October Video Shorts

This month I did less of these. Fundamentally I don't really think of these as actual content, but they are also a decent block of content when they're all in a pile.

So enjoy these video bonus chickens.

The Bird

Embrace the arts and get away from the practical. I'm really mixing it up here so this one is a chicken.
 

At a Party

I was once at a party. Perhaps that's just one of my many successes in life. Going to place and doing a thing is really all we can dream of in life.

Blood

Today's piece is titled "Blood"

It's inspired by inspiration. Pick a Color. Any Color. I picked red and that's the blood color. Also the Tomato color, but a chicken make of Tomato seems somehow more eerie than one made of blood. Imagine if I'd named today's piece Marinara...

 

Cyber-Target

Be a bird. Be a robot. Be everything you want to be in life.

It probably shouldn't be either of those ones.

Waiting

The ticking of the clock was all that the chicken could here. Alone in the yard it simply waited. Nothing was coming except more waiting.

Fleshy

Please enjoy these fleshy parts of the bird's face. Also a beak is included for context. Excuse the massive eye.
 

Coworker

Look at this chicken with her band t-shirt and a plaid shirt. This piece was inspired and requested by my coworker Claudia but I might have leaned a bit more generic punk than I intended

Cutout

Presenting a chicken in its vaguest sense. The shape is vague, but the sprayed on colors bring some clarity and reveal that, as expected, it was a chicken all along.
 

September Video Shorts

Maybe I'll make these video roundups more often than monthly? I already have other things to post at the end of the month. How would I even title these though? 

Follow me on one of these video platforms if you want to.

Here's a blast of chickens I drew for random video content.

Shadows Converge — September 2023 Wallpaper

It was from deep under the earth, or perhaps right on the other side of reality. The thing slowly takes form. Morphing and twisting itself into something that is almost a shadow of its target. Soon they will be one and the same Fortunately this strange invader targeted a humble chicken instead of something properly dangerous or important like a politician or an elephant.

Setting aside our overly dramatic lore explanation I just think this is very aesthetically pleasing.

Special thanks, as always, to my supporters at https://www.patreon.com/ChickenMaker and https://ko-fi.com/chickenmaker

Crest

The exceptionally regal crest of a particularly cowardly group of knights. Some people say they're just chicken, but the order of Ignavum Pullum would deny it to their dying day.

Knight orders should have badly translated Latin names right?

Keep It Up

Keep it up and keep going. Don't stop for anything. That's why I made this chicken without lifting my finger from the mouse. Something that just made a whale once upon a time.

Too Many Teeth

This is a relatively small number of teeth, but birds ideally have about zero, so it is concerning. Are we sure this is a chicken?

Deep Sorrow

Consider sadness, but then go another step beyond as you find yourself about to cry. But what are you even crying about? You perhaps ruined your sweater or broke some knickknack you've owned for years. It isn't the end of the world and we both know that isn't what you're really crying about.

Little Hat

Concerned about premature comb loss the chicken decided to wear a little hat, but looking into the mirror what was reflected was strange and different. Was this beret truly just a little hat or... Honestly even with the face it didn't seem all that evil?

Buff Bird

This is one buff bird, but I'm sorry it's just a bad pun, because he's not that muscular. Buff is the name of the color, you see.

emotion

This one is based on an emoji I saw on the side of a cup. Please feel this way, which according to the internet is "confounded"

August Video Shorts

Well, I started doing these this month and I wasn't really sure what to do as far as posting them here, but this youtube playlist seems about right. I haven't quite found my legs so I just keep hammering in the MS Paint chicken part in my rambling.

Anyways if you're not feeling video content here's 22 extra chickens I made for these 30 second videos

Wrong Crowd – August 2023 Wallpaper

This is my new phone wallpaper. If you want you all can use it too. I wanted to keep this to warm colors, but I think the pink one is nice for some contrast, without being all the way to blue or green. Three oranges was a bit much.

This month's wallpaper is NOT brought to you by my Patreon supporters. We have dropped under my $5 threshold for making wallpapers. If you enjoy Chicken Maker consider backing us on Patreon or donating on Ko-Fi for access to more than 50 exclusive chickens along with monthly Wallpaper WIPs if I'm making them.

New Social Icons (YouTube and TikTok)

Just a couple new social icons for the sidebar since I did actually make that Tiktok account. Sliding Patreon and KoFi into a new and exciting "Gimme a Dollar" section since that's what my paypal donation link was labelled forever ago and I consider it a core of the Chicken Maker identity.

Celebrate

Today was my birthday. I'm the one in the spotlight and the confetti is falling for me.

Please feel like that on your birthday.

Sailor

Can a bird really be expected to live its life on a raft? I have no idea, but this one still doesn't have it's sea legs and if it isn't careful it'll be a tuna's lunch.

Troubled Illness

Usually when I post something like this I'm physically ill, but actually I'm fine right now. This is just where I ended up when I was expressing myself.

Smolder

I was experimenting and it didn't really work out, but you can look at it anyways. Felt like I had a very certain style I was trying to replicate but I lost track of it half way through. Maybe something neon adjacent, but I've done better neon effects...

Lines Become Shapes

Lines become shapes become forms become images become an inspiration to spark your withered imagination.

And with this rather muted example your imagination should be running full speed ahead.

Small Hills

This layout that I like, but small. Works for everything, as long as it's just exactly this thing.

TikTok Update

 Day 1. Already got a strike on TikTok. Big success.

TikTok / YouTube Shorts

Hey, we're on TikTok and YouTube Shorts now because that's how people promote things nowadays. Not sure how much I'll be cross-posting these, but any new chickens will surely show up on the main site. Maybe just a monthly roundup post or something. 

 

As I barely audibly say in the first one prepare for some lower quality MS Paint chickens, since I'm trying to just draw them in <60 seconds.
