How do I justify this

How do I justify half the nonsense I post on here. I mean this is clearly a half-snake/half-brontosaurus. Yeah I said brontosaurus. It's got one of those box heads that don't go on the real dinosaur. But that's not important. Sometimes my inspiration doesn't want to draw a chicken and it does something else. Sometimes that something else doesn't look half bad and I end up wanting to stick in on here so I just doodle a chicken and  stick it in. I actually like that little tiny chicken, but he was totally an afterthought and I can't even pretend to deny it. As such I have added the "Not Chicken" tag, which is also going on some of the older posts retroactively, but there's no need to worry about that. I can't imagine the Not Chicken posts won't still have a chicken in them somewhere.

Abstract 2

This is my quite unoriginally named "Abstract 2." It is of course related to my very early Abstract piece in that it was made without the slightest focus on detail. I actually like it. Just a few lines that give the impression of a chicken without actually being one.

Point of Faith

This one I decided to do using only the spraypaint tool, and also only black though that isn't important.
The chicken is half king/half clucker. The spinning flames are as usual burning passion. And the hand pointing up is to indicate the focal point. The world is focused on the chicken. The chicken is the Point of Faith.
Mind you, Point of Faith was just the name I saved it under without really thinking too much. I can't even imagine this guy as the focus for any faith at all. Unless you mean faith in this fine blog's production.

Staring to the Heavens

This guy's looking up toward the heavens.  This embodies his search for a destiny and future. Oh, and I gave him some of those always closed eyes you see in cartoons sometimes. Anyways as I was saying this is about him staring at the sky in search of his destiny and future. 

Course since he's a chicken that's probably his future as a sandwich or otherwise food

Okay my people... ONE HUNDRED!!

Okay guys. This is my 100th post. So of course I had no choice at all but to release a picture of a hundred chickens. Now some of them are partially or mostly covered up but I promise you there are 100 chickens in this. I know, you're impressed. Don't forget to find Waldo-Chicken.

Also this is my pal's birthday. I delayed this release to coincide with the occasion. You're welcome William.

CHICKEN-DO-KEN!

This one's called CHICKEN-DO-KEN!

I really feel that no explanation is required. 

Crazy Whatzit

I haven't done anything irregular in a while. I've been trying to think of clever themed chickens lately and haven't just tried my hand at a differenter art. I mean I've fallen into habit using the same brush(I mean there's only 12 in Paint but...) and the same dozen colors.
I started off ripping off something I saw, but then I realized some of the nice the subtle elements it had and I realized that there was no way I could pull that off in paint. Once I started though I just kept piling patterns into the background. It came out with a unique look... As to why I used green I originally intended it to just be neon green and neon orange, but I just added a bunch of colors as I started work on the various patterns burried in there. All the patterns were made using the full circle tool too. Just tried to do it all different. Maybe I should try things like this more often.

Burning Passion

The problem I now realize has been my lack of burning passion. I've just been practically forcing myself to do these when nothing was coming to me. Of course now I finally got one. Something that captures a bit of flare on it's own. I used Literal flames, figurative flames and even contrasting forces to bring it all out in this one.
I used some literal swishing flames in the background to give an impression of passion and speed. I'm not very good at flames unfortunately. That fancy shmancy guest art I got had much nicer ones. Still I think they came out looking bright and forceful.
The figurative flames can be seen in the chickens eyes and his sudden forceful motion. He looks like he's ready for a big fight or something. The comb has a similar bend to the flames giving it a similar force and I feel helpign to bring the whole image together
Lastly the contrast created by darkening the chicken makes the fire burn brighter. The darkened chicken even seems like he's being illuminated by the fire. Probably just seems that way because he's not as dark as he would be if this had been working on a night scene.
In conclusion I just haven't been going all out when doing these. There's been a distict lack of fire. Not giving it my all just gave me a bunch of mediocre things. I mean, it's not like I'm saying I won't make the same mediocre things. I know It'll stay the exact same kind of stupid, but I'll put some heart into it.

Red

I'm short on ideas so all I've got to toss out is Red the Rooster. Also my friend's birthday is on the 10th so I'm holding a good one back for then.

Fatty

This one is called "Fatty." It's not offensive or anything. I just looked at him and thought he seemed like a fat guy. Not sure why. He's clearly confused or impressed by whatever he's seeing(You can tell by the way his head is cocked to the side.)
