Time travel is blue in my mind and I'm not quite sure why... Definitely translucent floating clocks though. That part is objective.
I like the back one. His lack of detail and smallness are appealing.
Anyways, do you think I can do a house of cards shaped like a chicken or would it need too much glue?
I was on vacation. I thought I let you all know, but I forgot.
Of course not. It's also being a bit less than alive.
The gold and purple star BG looks nice I think?
For this month's wallpaper four silhouettes show a bold action, as the chicken attempts to take flight. A Stand, a Leap, a hesitant Stumble and finally Flight, which chickens quite infamously cannot do very well. That's what following your dreams and taking a leap of faith is all about though. You might stumble, but if you don't jump you'll never take flight.
Thank you, as always, to both my paid supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi and everyone who just occasionally comments. Keeps this whole thing fun.
A new and exciting character being added to the roster. Really stands out from the rest of the site with the firm confidence to just be "Bird"
Not even firmly identifying itself as a Chicken, much less something respectable like a Knight or a Horse.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
If I owned it I would be too embarrassed to wear it in public.
Not this little chick here though. This baby chicken was cool from the start.
Anyways we had freezing rain yesterday but it's firmly into Spring so I want to believe it's getting warmer.
16 Years and what do I have to show for it? Some would say a strangely impressive internet website. Welcome back to Chicken Maker dot Net.
In this years thrilling anniversary/St Patrick's Day celebration I just deeply thought that making things green turns them into a scifi adventure. Here are some of my personal favorites from the past year.
|
| Starting off with Spring Circles |
 |
| I just enjoyed my actual Mountain Vacation |
 |
| Blue Float was already a color, but now it's green |
 |
| Big Air 2 was intended
to have a space sequel but I forgot about it. Green is like space, but maybe Big Air 3 now that I found it. |
 |
| Synchronized has a nice pose. Neon vs Forest |
 |
| Vs Bat is my single favorite
piece of the year. This is my Chicken Maker |
 |
| Small Witch was cute. Purple to Green was pretty smooth |
|
| Yeehaw! was the better of the two cowboys I made |
 |
| And I don't like him, but we can see the New Shape one more time |
If you enjoy this nonsense consider giving me a dollar on Patreon or Ko-fi, where we have over 70 additional chickens, with a new one added every month.
This is a cute chicken
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & blacK. The CMYK you can trust. The Chicken Maker You Know.
As the hen awoke in the mysterious void she could only scratch her cheek. Mysterious floating cubes everywhere was all well and good, but aren't voids usually endless darkness.
Hopping from cube to cube the bird began an uncertain journey, practically flying even though her wings were clipped.
Face to face at the top of the world.
The true final battle awaits.
You vs 2 Birds.
Fight!
That feels about right for one of those overly pretentious fighting game intros you get in some of the stranger titles.
Unless of course this inexplicably grows on me and I start to think of it fondly later on.
Fun action poses are good. Let's give this chicken a sword in its beak and have it cutting some vague baddies in half. Sometimes I lean towards robots, but this is bad samurai movie inspired so they're his fellow fowl instead.
Thank you, as always, to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. Without you I would probably be even more sporadic with updates than I already am.
I like this face. Gotta keep me on my feet.
Silhouettes are always hard, because I like how they look but they inherently feel lazy since I'm skipping steps like color and shading and linework. Anyways these are a pair of beautiful birds on a backdrop of warm waves.
Thank you as always to my supporters, and fans. Usually I emphasize the people giving me money on Patreon because that's exciting, but random guy who commented twice or left a like a Facebook. I appreciate you too. This website wouldn't be fun without you.
