Snob

This is a snobby snobby rich guy.  You can tell because of the tuxedo vest and monocle. I think he looks like a jerk who would buy out your company then fire everyone and laugh about it because he's so rich.

Also I see now that I made a mistake and made his waddle black but let's just justify that by saying he dyed it.

Sonic


No, I didn't make the motion blur myself. I tried but it was beyond me without using Photoshop so I just Googled one. anyways this is Sonic the Hedgehog, only this one's a chicken. I'm sure you understand. It's not very complex. I like the Sonic eyes. I think they came out well. I may use it on some guys in the future.

I was inspired to make this one by Alex Day's song Sonic Doesn't Need a Story. You can listen to it at his website there, along with his other fancy songs

gentle strokes

The gentle strokes used in the creation of this piece were more important this time around than making distinct outlines or the colors to work with, which is, in fact, why the eye isn't colored in. The smooth motions in the creation gave it a look that stands out among the Chicken Maker collection

Ear Haver

Well, I decided to do a bit of research today. I looked at a picture and stared at it for a bit. Then I noticed that dangling pale thing. It turns out it's basically an ear. Don't expect them to show up too much. Much like human ears I don't like drawing them. There's a nice swash to them though.

Also this picture is more or less a flipped version on the one on top of this Wikipedia page.

Square Eyes

Square Eyes here... I don't really like. He's a chicken. You know, sorta back to the basics. Then I stared for a while and decided I needed him to have some cool eyes. I like the way the eyes came out though. I'm not actually sure what it is I don't like about him. Is it the colors? Is he too close to skin-flesh?  No, that's not really a problem. A bit offsetting but not a reason to dislike him. I like his generally dazed and confused appearance, but I dislike something about him.

Back Swing

Here I have a new chicken I'm calling Backswing. I call him that because in the back I swing in a second much larger version of the same chicken. At least I assume that's why. Really I just name that mostly at random when I finish. Back Swing seems pretty appropriate though. I think I did a much better job on the effect this time than last time I tried it, which was quite a while ago.  also I just like the way the initial, front type, chicken looks. It took me a while to decide on his coloration. I decided on the red in the end though.

M.

Here we have the letter M. It's made of two chicken styled pointy bits. I think it looks pretty good, though the combs probably could have used a bit of flare. Sorry this one's so short but I've strangely enough already run out of things to say about this one.

Projects Page

Well, today seems to be an active day for this site. At any rate as I said I decided to get my Projects in order. And I decided to do it with a project page and a new link in my sidebar. How do the three chickens look? I set it up with a nice paint spray-can fade.

Dual Chicken - Epilogue

And now, after putting it off forever i post up the epilogue for Dual Chicken. This project is finished now. I doubt I'll ever come back to it, but I had a lot of fun with it and I really improved my chicken work as it went.

Boring Part
News Report:
Following the destruction of the AFEM headquarters the Dual Chicken vanished and mutant incidents seem to have declined. Still, a new taskforce has been formed to maintain the defense against them. The mass genocide of the mutations and questionable methods employed by AFEM will be avoided if possible. Former Detective R. Martin refused to comment, saying "I'm done with all that. I'm going to be a farmer or something."

Exciting Part

Relief


Today's piece isn't anything new. It's just a simple black chicken against a blue background. The Chicken feels pretty sharp. I think that's the way it ought to be.

On a site note my various projects should be in order soon.
