Contrast Focus

click for full size

It's huge! I used a contrast between the Gritty Sharpness, which my friend insists I didn't invent, which I guess is true but that doesn't change the fact that it's called the Gritty Sharpness, and my usual style to draw attention to the main attributes while giving the background a nice quality. The vague version is that the chicken, who I've been thinking of as some sort of explorer/looter is looking for the Golden Plate. He just found it in a statue's hand.

And I haven't posted lately so I'm a bit disappointed. I really just haven't had much inspiration. I'm sure a streak of it will hit me any time.

Head 2 Head

Yeah I figured this fight ought to be front and center. It's a standard sort of Head to Head Fighter screen that I don't think I've ever actually seen in a head to head fighter. I'm sure this is the way a generic one should be though. Now, I'm gonna be straight here. I almost made this two separate releases, because I'm lazy, but this is better.

Fighter number Left! He's a soldier in camo with a bunch of grenades and some eye black. Looks ready to kick your ass anyways... I call him G. I. Chicken, because it's the first crappy name to come to mind, well second. The first was Chicken Joe, but I feel like that should be a boxer for some reason.
Next up, on the Blue team, we have a cyborg chicken, which is totally different from the other one of those I made. His comb is gold, as is that bit on his face and the thing about his glowing green, which can probably shoot a laser. Then I stuck some mixed and matched puzzle piece metal plates all about him and called him good. And he is, of course, Mecha-Chicken, like in the Godzilla.

The Zed Word

Here's my Zombie. I received a request and I didn't see any good reason why I didn't have one.

So okay man. Let's see here. Firstly I made him that pale green color I seem to recall zombies being for some reason, then I of course had to use pale for the beak and comb too, so it didn't look like crap. Crescent moon is there because they're more stylish.

Of course the eye not being in the socket is there to represent his rage being blind. The Zombie isn't a racist or a sexist. It's more than willing to kill and eat you no matter who you are.  And, yes. That is a symbolism, because the Zombie represents the government or something to that effect. I guess that's more of a Social Commentary, though I did say I probably wouldn't be doing those. And this all relies on an absurd metaphor anyways.

Combo Play Again!

It's Combo Play Again! because it's like Combo Play. Same exact idea except I used the paint brush instead of the fancy spray can.  There's not really anything else to say about it.

Stormcrow the Green

You know I realized there are a lot of really generic things I haven't bothered with, like RPG classes. That's why I decided to do a wizard. Gave him a big waddle to make up for the lack of beard and a pointy hat because wizards 'ought to have one. He's got a hooked beak 'cause I seem to recall wizards having hooked noses.

Well, yeah. I gave him a Name the Color name like in Lord of the Rings, and even used a name generator to get the Stormcrow bit.

Fencer

I recently, Wednesday actually, attended a meeting of my college's fencing club. It was a lot of fun, though I came to the conclusion that whoever made the rules is an asshole. I'm just saying, when I get stabbed in the groin and the other guy gets the point. I didn't even think to wear a cup...

Anyways now that you know why I drew a fencing chicken it's time to talk about the picture itself. Firstly I drew a chicken. Then I drew his fencing vest on, including the dangly bit of strap that comes up. Then I drew a sword. I guess it's a foil with a French grip.  Completely irrelevant and not at all decided. I just scrawled out a sword. Then I gave him angry eyebrows so you could tell he was gonna stab you. And I attempted a mask a couple times and decided against it.

Bloody Red

I tried to be styling-cool. My only real problem with it is that his eyes look sad to me.As usual I had a vague idea and tried to see how it would do. I feel this one came out pretty good. A bit uncleasr but I'm sure yo can see the chicken if you even slightly expect it, which on this site you should.

Now Taking Requests: Out of Ideas

I think I'm starting to run out of ideas. Okay, well, I'm always running out of ideas but I figured that the like 2 people who visit probably have a couple ideas to throw out here so I'd love to hear them. That way I won't have to actually have them. 

Now as far as this guy goes I was just looking at my christmas chikfilet cow and figured a chicken with a sign was the way to go.

So, ideas, toss 'em over.

Manteau et Surin de Poule

This is my very fancy french piece, which I did exactly like all my other pieces. Oh, now I put some serious thought into doing it fancier, but well I tried to and it seemed kind of awful. 

Then I got a burst of idea while I was typing this and figured out how to make it look fancy. I just had to do a bunch of short little nibbling lines like real art's made of. Now sure it looks kind of bad right up on it, but back up a few feet and it looks no worse than most of the things here. I actually really enjoyed doing the second one, though it didn't exactly come out as the ideal or something of artistic merit. Still it gives an interesting contrast with the first. I may well do another like this at some point.

Also for those of you who either A)Speak French or B) Don't Speak French I just translated Cloak and Dagger of Chicken using a crappy online translator.  Actually if you do speak French could you tell me why what I wrote up there is retarded, not minding the fact that the title didn't even make proper grammatic sense in the first place.

Mah Birthday!

Here's a totally crappy one. I made it for a friend's birthday but forgot. So I decided to post it up today, since it's my birthday. For some reason it makes me think of a cake. Not a long post today. I've got stuffs to do.
