Brand New Sprite

Here's a nice chicken I sprited up pixel by pixel. She is a gentle figure with a serious look. Ready to step in if push comes to shove, but more than happy to just mellow into the background.

Spray Down

I like this one! It's a lot like Combo Play(and Overwhelmed but that one is this plus a bunch of mess), except that this one I let the outline stay in the back instead of pasting the outline on top.It looks nice and I think it more or less speaks for itself.

Faded Ink Slice

Well I decided to try out something along the lines of cubism. Not actual cubism, but I liked the basic notion of cutting something up then putting it back together. After a bit of thought I decided to apply the ideas to one of my older works rather than making a new chicken to work off of. And so for simplicity I took the original picture and made a recolored copy then I started grabbing bits of each and put them together until I had a whole chicken. Looking at it it's a bit surrealistic, but I suppose that's rather the point is it.I'm glad I didn't think it through or I'd have gotten a much more boring picture.

Also, you person who unfollowed me, why don'cha come back?

Same Chicken Post #5 (Photoshopped)

Here we have my Photoshopped Style. It's not really something I use much. The antialiasing bothers my eyes a bit so I tend to avoid using it. Plus it makes me lazy. There's really not much to say about it. This is just my Basic style really, only I use Photoshop to make it. The eye was hard to color and I ended up having to brush it in instead of dumping. Normally I' have taken advantage of it being photoshop and applied a nifty effect(like charcoal sketch) but not as part of this series.

I can't think of any other styles I use so this is the end of the project for now. If you can then I would appreciate you linking me to an example of it(or just mentioning it) in a comment on this post. But until another one comes up this series is Currently Complete.

Blue Tips

Well this guy's kinda a brat, 

but he got a lot of money and he thinks he's all dat

Really all his tricks are just old hat.

Tipped his wing in blue, how about that?

BAM! He takes you to the mat!

Shows you what he does to all those cool cats

Who act like he's just a rat.

A Chicken, yeah but he ain't gonna take that tit for tat!

That was one of them rap jams, just say it while you lay down some phat beats and pump it out. Or you know. Maybe it was just a crappy poem

Same Chicken Post #4 (Layered Style, Blue Period)

This is my Layered Style. I just keep on piling patterns behind patterns until it looks complicated. You see, nice simple basic style. Really the first step is to construct the basic chicken, using the basic method. After that I just have to start drawing patterns and pasting the image back over it. Really I apply that method to a lot of things, but this style was where I used it in the first place. It was a key step in the development of my style and so I keep the Layered Style in mind as something I need to remember. Also it's fun working with it.

Yeah, my Blue Period. That brings back memories of when I randomly declared it my blue period and did everything in blue for a few days. I even blued up the purple background of this one. As far as my style goes this could be more appropriately called my monochrome style but all my practice in that sort of look has been in blue(or gray in a few cases) so you know. Anyways the wide variety of shades combine together to give a look that is relatively reserved.


On a side note I figured out why I can pump these out like this. It's because I don't have to try to think of what to make. I mean I don't need to decide it's gonna be a cowboy cop on the wrong side of the law or something... I'll make that later.

Alphabet of Chicken Video

Well, I've got a video here with the good old song of the alphabet. It's all timed up with the Alphabet of Chicken that was recently finished. This is the final stage of that project. Bon Voyage alphabet. Soon this site will set sail toward a new destination, not that I know what that is. Until I know where I'm going all I can do is race blindly forward!

Z.

Well, at first I was like, "I'll hold off on this for a while." but that's a stupid idea. If I'm on a streak I should just toss up everything I get. If I ever run out of ideas I have a handful of 'good enough' pictures I could use to fill in the site for those of you who like this site.

Z! The final letter finally arrives in all of it's striking beauty. The sharp points bring out their full force against you. The chicken casually peeks out from behind it, haughtily mocking you! Are you just going to accept that!? Probably yes. After all that chicken's hiding out behind that stylish Z. 

For those of you who are curious as to why this isn't the end of the Alphabet of Chicken project my answer is this... El-em-En-Oh never sounded like one letter and I'd never know how to draw it anyways.

Y.

Compared to W. and X. this one seems dull and uninteresting. For that I'm sorry. Still I like the way the Y. turned out. The chicken watches the dark Y fade behind him as he strides out facing forward to his new life. By which I mean the new life that will be breathed into this site once the alphabet is done.

Now, I know you're thinking "Just the one letter left, huh?" Well, yes, but not just that. I'll provide more details in the post for Z.(or possible not)
