Snowstorm

Here we have a white chicken in a snowstorm. Easy as pie. I decided not to have outlines in order to let the chicken better blend in with the snowstorm. Not sure where to continue the rambling so I'm just gonna leave it off there.

Challenge Complete!!

Silkie Showgirl

This is a Silkie Showgirl. They're cute. It's hard to believe that it's a kind of chicken, but it is. I may be forced to use silkies more often. They're cute and look different. You know, I can toss them in crowd shots and the like to give the group some more character.

CHALLENGE COMPLETE!

Beachman

BEACHMAN!!! A Man on a Beach!
Thank you for visiting this site for so long my friends. I think it may be time to hang up my hat, with this site doing good. And that is why this chicken is without a hat. The next chicken will have a hat of the highest caliber! Because this hat can't stay off for long. He's a hat wearing fool!

Wait, what? Anyways. This site is still about chicken drawings and is still going strong. I'm not leaving.

Chicken Sandwich Club

Ok Chiken Maker, heres the deal. I very much doubt that you could draw a chicken in a sandwich bar being asked to show his membershio card to the Chicken Club in order to buy a Chicken Club sandwich. If you can then I will admit that you are higher than me in the pecking order. (eMail) 

It's been a while since I actually did a challenge so I decided to take down one of the lengthier ones. I feel no need to explain anything.

 CHALLENGE... COMPLETE!

Dice-Roll!

Everyone. I think you should congratulate Robert who won the giveaway because I rolled a dice and he won.

But enough about him. This site is about drawing chickens... and right now Dice. Dice that are chickens!
Okay. I even have a game set up for this.
_______________
Chicken Rolls
Suitable for players age 4+ due to the choking hazard of the dice. For 2-6 players
Required: 1 six-sided die, or 1 Special-Made ChickenMaker™ Chicken Rolls Die. A sheet of paper and pen or pencil.
Use the following chart to assign each chicken part to a corresponding die face
1: Egg
2: Eye
3: Beak
4: Wattle
5: Comb
6: Foot

Starting the Game: Before beginning play each player should roll the die. The player with the highest roll will go first. (Consult the chart above if using an official ChickenMaker™ Chicken Rolls Die)

Playing the Game: Players take turns rolling the die counterclockwise from the player who started. Record what is rolled unless it is an egg, in which case the player receives nothing for that turn.

Winning the Game: To win the game the player must have 2 Eyes, 1 Wattle, 2 Feet, 1 Beak and 1 Comb then roll an egg.

Variants
More Dice: Using multiple dice for each roll can make the game run faster, but removes much of the tension from play.
Egg Wins: If you roll an egg at any point you win. You can also win my assembling 1 Eye, 1 Wattle, 1 Foot, 1 Beak, and 1 Comb.
Less Parts: Under this variant rule the wattle and comb are replaced by a second eye and foot, respectively. They are also removed from the win conditions.
_______________
And I'm gonna straight up make this die. I'm pretty sure I can get a blank d6 at the local comic shop. That will also be posted on this site of course. Probably won't be colored though.

[CLOSED]Frozen Synapse Giveaway[CLOSED]

Hey guys. Do any of y'all play a lot of computer games? I'm thinking of picking up Frozen Synapse and may be convinced to give the second copy to one of my many beloved followers or, you know, some guy who randomly came on today and goes "Oh oh! Me! Me!"

Anyways, if you're interested just leave a comment with your eMail address or your Steam ID or something so I can contact you. (This is not on a first come first serve basis. I reserve the right to give it to anyone I randomly choose or possibly no one at all... Though probably someone)

Of course usual comments regarding the picture are welcome as usual. I kinda like how this came out.

On a semi-related note my Steam ID is "chickenmaker" if any of you just wanna say hey.
__________________________________________________________________________
 Congratulations to Robert , who is the winner. I rolled a dice and he came up.

Whiteline

I just drew a standard and somewhat more simplified than usual chicken. Then I turned the black white. That is all.

Fauvism

I realize there's a lot of art styles I haven't made a go of... So I need some help here. I suppose I'll just get started. But anything I haven't tried yet(setting aside realism) I'd like to make a go of.




So, here's fauvism. It wasn't a very long lasting style, but it emphasized "painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values." This doesn't mean anything and the colors are the strongest. I just went with some brigh powerful colors and build a chicken with 'em. Next style.

Survive

Well, I took a week off without planning to. Let me stop that before it becomes a month off, then sporadic updates, then dead site.


After all this site is tough as nails and will survive.
This chicken was the result of me trying to put in some solid effort so that I could make something worth putting on the site. He's been hit and cut but he's still there. He'll always Survive.

Artistically this chicken is an imitation of 3-D cel-shading on a colored 2-D form, which gives the image a distinct impression of depth and dimension. The slightly unbalanced angle combines with the pose of the subject gives a more realistic feeling to the image.

Free For Fun

I decided to mix things up and try to do one with an almost entirely different feel to it.

I don't like how it came out...

But I can't think of anything actually wrong with it.

Well, the wattle and comb are two heavy.
