Straight to our Patreon. Thank you for your support.
Just because someone has a dull look doesn't mean they lack a vibrantly colored inner world full of exciting thoughts. But don't get confused, they might. Just that the lack of gaudy style doesn't prove it.
From the traditional cave painting only one thing was clear. Back in caveman times giant chickens* roamed the plains and were hunted with spears.
*giant chickens are legally distinct from feathered dinosaurs
I played for Cookie Clicker for a couple weeks. It's strangely addictive, but it's just a... weird indie horror game? You make cookies until everything is cookies, so here are some Chocolate Chip Chicken Cookies.
The brave knight faces off against the fowl beast of a bird, cloaked in the holy light of its blessed helm and shield. Will the courageous chicken overcome the odds and be a true hero or would its whole eggs-istence be for nothing?
You may notice this is for March... That's true and my bad. At least we're back on track now. May's wallpaper should come out in May.
Well, it's a bit late but thank you for your support as always.
You won't hear any follow up on this for months, but I've needed to start a new project of some sort for a while and that's what I'm going with.
Today's piece was inspired by some old video game graphics I was looking at, where there were colored background, but the player was a single colored outline of a character that moved around in front of that. The tree being a nice pure vibrant lime green is all on me though. Don't get confused.
Here's this month's wallpaper. Bright green on black is the best and only style you ever need, and in the strange digital future we'll all be strange wireframe birds living on a grid. Or multiple gridz, with a Z because it's the future. As I've secretly revealed many times any random string of numbers in the background always just spells chicken. Don't tell anybody.
Special thanks as always to my Patreon supporters. Please continue supporting me in the future.
You may have noticed I still never posted last months... I won't make excuses, but it's still half done so I'll get it posted eventually.
Which apparently isn't a thing? Smart enough to stop staring at the sky despite the widespread factoid.
The Good New! The Hot Thing! Clearly superior to the old gimmicks. This is the future.
The contrast between the gray chicken and hyper-saturated chaos in the background really stimulates the mind.
Everyone! It's Saint Patrick's Day and more importantly the anniversary of ChickenMaker.net
In the past year I did a few things but I absolutely did not make a coffee table book like I arbitrarily threw out last year. I'll set a more realistic expectation, like a pamphlet, for this year.
Let's run through the annual throwback and enjoy these green variants. Special mention to Green Vines which is obviously already
green.

| Hatching is full of expectations |
 |
| The flair of a hyper-stylized Silhouette Kill is barely even
violent |
 |
| The "Fantasy Sticker" series was actually finished this
year, but not with Jester. |
|
| Across Space and Space
was a very color focused piece so making it just green was hard |
 |
| Doing a twitter art prompt thing was fun, and this Candlelit Coven was my favorite
part. |

| I was having fun with this and with piercing green pupils
these are even Better Eyes |
Mysterious robots deserve random poorly translated half German names. Of course by the end of the story it would surely have become the Mecha-Gebratenes-Huhnchen-Kaiser or something
This is a throw back? I was trying to do it with more of the reckless abandon that I had when this site had things like me creating 8 Chickens in 1 Hour. While this is below my usual arbitrary standards I think this is still too thought out for me to recapture this energy.
Fields of Gray spread out under the wandering fowl's feet, while the gray clouds upon the gray sky hung overhead.
Part of the ongoing "2022" Monochrome Series. Just one more to finish out the rainbow. Though I guess actual grayscale wasn't really part of a rainbow.
As light came through the darkness the bird's striking figure was the only thing that could be seen.
Continuing the monochrome series.
This month we went with the twisting depiction of glowing magic circles, contrasted by a pair of wildly colored pastel fowl. Obviously this is a battle at the edge of a long forgotten dream and if things go wrong the consequences will be far reaching and unknowable.
Personally I'm siding with green. The other one's ideas are all upside down.
Special thanks as always to my Supporters at https://www.patreon.com/ChickenMaker/ and https://ko-fi.com/chickenmaker/
Without your donations I would... probably still randomly be making things on here, but not as often. And we're all having fun so more is better.
You have the geometric colors and this firm and confident line work. Pleasantly scribbled if you ask me. And you do ask me, because you found this somewhere.
Is this one too weird? I just assumed I already had a mushroom of some sort and this is just what came naturally when I tried to make one.
Their belief that they're a tip jar aligns more closely with how I use the service and it provides a straight forward one-time donation rather than exclusively following the subscription model. At some point I might use some of the other features, but not right now.
If I was smart I'd have made this a preview for an exclusive post, rudely covered up by the cup to incentivize people to give me a dollar, but I'm a fool and this is actually just the whole thing.
If you're already on Patreon the two sites will get the same monthly exclusive posts and Wallpaper WIPs going forward. Change forthcoming for how supporters are displayed on the site but for now it will probably just be a removal of the word "Patreon"
Picking back up on this monochrome series from the summer we have our Green entry.
Welcome to the first wallpaper of 2023. As always I have to give a special thanks to my supporters on Patreon. We'll jump right into it.
Every day the unfortunately fowl sank deeper and deeper into a murky sea-like abyss. Slowly it was overtaken by the shadows of self-doubt and forces that were undoubtedly not its self at all. The rooster still crows, but on the inside is the existence behind the clucks even a bird at all?
Going back to my roots for this one. You just need cool shades.
Welcome to 2023, Year of the Rabbit.
This is more of my normal Easter chicken, but I didn't have the enthusiasm to give Zodiac Pals another go.
Here is the final wallpaper of 2022. I know I took a few extra weeks but the January one won't be too far behind. Thank you as always to my supporters on Patreon. Without their support I probably would have wandered off and started doing something else by now.
This neon glow is firework adjacent.
