Chicker-Robo

This one came out a little poorly, well really I guess I just didn't center the head well. I never would have redone it though so I'm posting it now. Anyways it's got a Gundam-style V on it's forhead to make it clear that it was a giant robot. Then I gave it the pointy comb and waddle to give it a mechanical feel.  The beak came out rather nicely I think. The head I put a good amount of effort into but I was totally half assed when I did the body. And of course he has a mono-eye so he's probably some sort of bad guy.
Anyways I was gonna call it Chik-dam, after Gundam, which was the main design influence, but I decided on Chicker-Robo, after Getter Robo, which t doesn't look like at all but the Robo has a more generic use and it sounds better. There were a few others I considered but they weren't that great, except maybe Chicken-Zord, ala Power Rangers.
And I jsut realized I already posted something today. Well whatever... Oh right I forgot I was going to beg for comments next time I posted something... I'm too lazy to actually do it though so... I'll just toss out a little... *begs for comments*

The Look

I'm calling this one "The Look." It's actaully the same chicken as on the Wallpaper. I liked the way he came out and wanted to draw him again. He looks like a tough guy. I gave his one of those psuedo-shadows in the background that you see in intros and commercials from time to time. I rather like how he came out here too. Took me more than a few tries to actually redraw one of my mostly random chickens. I mean to get the points that made him unique, which are his split on top comb,which I couldn't quite get,  slightly crooked beak, and shadowed green eyes. Interesting to actually do something like this.

Burns


I don't know what he is exactly but I know that he has got some awesome sideburns. Unfortunately he's also bald.  But he's a chicken so that's to be expected. The real shame is his small comb. Anyways Yeah.

Wallpaper!!


This is a fullsized Background, 1280 x 800, which is really too big for most people but it's my computer's resolution. so that's how it is. I also have a second cropped down 800x600 version.  I didn't want to resize it straight up so you know.

Combo Play

I call this one Combo Play. I'm not really sure why. Anyways my method for this piece was a bit odd. First I drew a sorta wierd abstract squiggle thing. Then I copied it and used the spray can to color it. Then I pasted it back over the image. You know I think it gives a good impression of a barnyard fowl other than the fact that they eye is blue. Chickens never have blue eyes, as far as I know, but I seem to always use them on mine, probably becaus eit gives a better contrast than light yellow or brown...

This was an experiment First I drew the chicken base.(on the right) Then I expanded it into a chicken.(On the Left) Looks a bit goofy, yeah but that's okay. I've had much more awful ones. Then I took the Chicken base again and expanded it out to be a person.(In the Center) Now it doesn't look like a real person, but I can imagine seeing it in the Comic Strips in the paper.

Is this Even Supposed to Make Sense?

The answer is no.

You didn't expect something else did you? Fine.

You know how sometimes you get the egg with the double yoke. This has nothing to do with that.  This is clearly a Fractal chicken. Very simple when you think about it really. It's odd that it didn't come to me immediately. You see the inner chicken grew a secondary outer chicken to further it from simply chicken, destined for somebody's dinner to side-show freak chicken...

But seriously. The answer is no.

Vampire 2

I couldn't help but wondering if I've improved at all since I started. To find out I decided to remake one of my older ones. Obviously the one I redid was Vampire. I have come to the conclusion that I have improved.
I used the same basic idea. The bright red eyes and the vampire cape. Used the same color as the original, though I probably wouldn't have opted for it these days. I almost didn't use it at all. This one's got more style and a the dracula hair. Also went with the cresent moon.
EDIT: Looking back I see that I actually said I should have slicked back the waddle in that post too :D
And do look back at the last post. I want that to get as much as I can.

I Won't Turn Down A Challenge!

I was challenged and I accept! I'm not entirely sure what I've been challenged to or what I'm doing, but this arbitrarily named Kung Fu guy is gonna take you down Allie!
Ahem. I'd best not forget my standard commentary on whatever I draw... I like the swishly crescents. Thank you.

Pirate, Ninja, Cowboy

Here comes my latest works. I finished them all and decided they should be released as a set. Pirates and ninjas are always quite popular on the internet. And of course Cowboys and Knights slide right in there with them. Mind, I couldn't manage a good knight so it's just Pirate, Ninja and Cowboy. Did 'em all in one go.

Okay. First off I've got a pirate. He's got a bandana, a peg leg, and an eyepatch. These are the standard pirate features.  Maybe I should have stuck a skull on there somewhere, but it didn't seem apropriate. He's missing something, but I couldn't figure out what. 

Next up is the Ninja. If you can't make out the outline then try tilting your moniter You should be able to see him snce he's absolutely black(RGB 0,0,0) and the background is just a mix of dark green and blue, with some lighter lines cutting through it. Anyways, Ninja almost invisible and all that. 

I like cowboys. So he has a cowboy hat, and a vest, and all that. I would have given him a revolver, but I wasn't entirely sure how he'd manage to hold it. His hat's covering his eyes since the stranger who hunkers into town just in time to get caught up in the mess and save the day should look mysterious.
