Stealth Main Character

Someone asked me if this site had like a main character or something. The answer is obviously no, but if we did he would be a silver fowl with fiery eyes and some distinct accessories, like a hat and scarf. Definitely not some bird in a box.

NOTE(Feb 2018): Stealth Ace is the wrong color in this piece. He is supposed to be silver also.

Gentlefowl

A true gentleman always wears a cravat and vest while standing in front of a book case. Well, I suppose this isn't really a man. It's more of a fowl. A true gentlefowl always wears a cravat and vest while standing in front of a book case.

So Called Scholar

Greetings my compatriots. I must apologize for the lack of activity. I have been buy with some IRL matters, but that's hardly an excuse for more than a weeks activity. Anyways I have several things to post to make up for it. Let's begin with this so called scholar. These books are clearly blank!

Read a Book

The internet* is a waste of time. I suggest all of you get off of it. Instead you should go read a book.

*The internet refers to all sites that are part of the "World Wide Web" excepting ChickenMaker.net and related websites, pages, and services.

Books Crayon Coloring



As I suggested in the comments this picture should be colored using crayons. The stars didn't come out so well but otherwise it's quite good I think.

Books

I sold 11 copies of Chicken Heroics, exceeding my sales goal by 1. I'm thrilled about it. So I did one more piece of art that would fit in it... Not that it's actually in it at all. Well, whatever I'm bound to do more with it at some point. Maybe this will slide in at that point. It's a chicken mage with three spell books floating around him. I mean that sort of thing is magic 101, right?

Book Distraction

Usually when I take a break of any notable length it's because I got distracted by something on the internet, or started playing some video game. From time to time my body just feels it needs a day or two of resting and I don't do anything at all.

This time I was reading a book. Barely touched my computer. I might have posted something based on the book but it's a rather obscure fantasy novel so I'm not sure. If I have an interesting idea for a picture I probably will.

Also this one is using a desk so you know he hasn't skewered the book with his beak.

Reading A Book

I got a new book case from Walmart yesterday. It sits across from my old Bookcase, and I must say... It was way more complicated and hard to put together.

The old one was 4 boards screwed together into a rectangle, with one more board screwed into the middle to keep it stable. And then I had three that sat on some little pegs. This new one's 7 boards put together with a bunch of these crazy latch things and pegs and screws.  And then I had three that sat on some little pegs.  So you know. Some parts are the same.

Also that chicken totally has telekinesis. Or maybe skewered a page with his beak.

Book

BOOK, a book for all ages
I've been thinking and I like real books a lot more than those little e-Readers and the like. I've mostly been thinking it while watching things like those Kindle commercials where the fan of physical books makes a really stupid point like "Actually folding the page," which I would like to point out would make absolutely anyone who collects physical books(And I'm using a very loose meaning of collects) cringe. Folding a page is just damaging the book, and for a really dumb reason. You couldn't just use a nice sensible book mark. Could have at least gone with "Actually turning the page."

Anyways. I like my book shelf. It has so many books and I can just see them and be all giddy remembering them. The same is true of most things available digitally. If I'm buying something I want a physical... thing. I admit that I have a rather large collection of Steam games, but the fact that I don't always follow it doesn't make it less true.

And I like the physical weight of a book. Which I can totally see the other side's argument against. Carrying it is inconvenient, but I still like the weight.

This isn't some major eReaders suck sorta rant. Just a personal preference.

On the note of books I somehow lost the first book in a series off my shelf. I have no idea how I managed to do that. I'm certain nobody borrowed it. Perhaps it fell off, but then you'd think it was right next to the shelf...

Book Read!


This is a nerdy chicken with those big round nerd glasses. He's reading a big old book sitting on a table. There's even some nice dull pink wallpaper.
 Oh, I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year because I try and fail to do that every year. It's actually not going bad this time. I've got a vague generic plot and everything.
