I'm Sorry

Yes, right a blog. I haven't said anything in a while. I'm sorry... No, that's not good enough.

You gotta forgive this guy.

Chicken Maker: Limited Card Game

Here we present another game designed by yours truly.

If you want to actually play the game I advise you to purchase a pack of Index cards and either attempt your own chicken drawings or paste these ones onto them.(I suggest drawing. It seems funner that way, and you will have a different style than your opponent even though you're no doubt both using Shades McCoolguy.) This game had been haphazardly balanced and play-tested so I suggest that you use the stats and effects listed on the cards here.

Card Explanation

Deck Construction Rules
You assemble your deck of 13 Chicken Maker cards from the Library. You may not use any cards not contained in the library nor can you use more of any given card than is contained in the library.

Play Rules
00) Each Player begins with a Power of 15 and draws five cards
[SETUP PHASE]
01) If you have cards in your deck draw one card.
02) Place a Chicken face down. This chicken is your Lead.
03) Play any number of supporting Chicken cards, face down.
[COMBAT PHASE]
04) Reveal your Leads
05) At this point you may choose to reveal and activate your supporting Chicken cards.
06) The player whose Lead has the lower modified Attack Score subtracts the opponent's Lead's modified attack score from his Power. In the case of a draw neither side's Power is lowered. If this attack brings your Power below zero then you have lost.
07) Subtract the Cost Number of your Lead and any active support Chicken cards from your Power. If this act brings your Power below zero then you have lost. If both sides drop below zero then the one whose score is more negative loses.
[POST PHASE]
08) Remove all cards from the field and discard them.
09) Return to the Setup Phase.

Rule Clarifications

• If you do not play a chicken in 02 then you are treated as having a Lead with an attack of 0, and may still play supporting chickens to affect it.

It's what shades looks like, as of the end of his second trilogy.

The white one is stupid powerful in his story

But you really need both halves of him to do anything legit

I went with my remake version for the Cyborg Chicken

Yeah, that sound effect is definitely his attack name

This is meant to represent any chicken you like. As long as it doesn't have a specific card.

Direct Damage

Golden Chicken needs an army to be impressive

Any letter you want. Any one at all. 

I just noticed... KungFu Chicken is also KFC

How Presidential

He wins. Period

Zitty NotCoolguy. Not really all that weak despite his lack of cool.

You'd think the power of music would have a cool support effect

The armor does all the real work. Doesn't matter whose using it.

Miles and Miles of the style

It's totally a mermaid

Went with the original Stormcrow instead of my remake version

Emergency escape plan!

BRONTOSAURUS!!!!

Oh yeah. And in case you mistakenly think I did this on a whim... CHALLENGE COMPLETE! Not bad for my 600th post, eh?

Depending on how this goes over I might put out some expansion sets at some point.

orange is brown

I wanted to do something with more vibrant colors so I made a chicken without any grays or browns or any of those dull colors. I'll admit I kept the black for the outline though. It's good for breaking colors. Anyways orange is a good brown and the pink backing makes it feel like it might be brown.

Also I'm working on something for my next post and it may be a while before I finish up.

Same Chicken Post #7 (Western Style, Realistic Style)

The Same Chicken Project is getting another post!

Making these chickens is relatively simple. It's just a strange shift in proportions combined with the Basic CM Style. The main thing is long neck, big eyes, small beak, round body, head and neck sorta blend together. The Western Style is called that simply because it was inspired by late 90s to early 00s Western Animation in particular that space chicken from the first Courage the Cowardly Dog.

This is what is more or less a Realistic chicken. There's no fancy technique to make making these a simple matter. Because reality is the core this is my Realistic Style. I don't do it often because a) it's hard and b) while it looks nice it's hard to mess with. I mean with the stylized ones I can make a cop or a lawyer or something but putting props on these feels strange.

Two Today

Today I decided to post some of my works in old media, as opposed to my usual digital works. First up is a fine green chicken made of clay. I actually made this quite a while ago out of a few clumps of clay I had laying around. For some reason it just never made it up here until now.

Yes, that is a chess board

This guy totally plays chess.

And second I have a cool chicken on a chalk board. The chalk chicken has a nice feel I think. And I made it using just orange chalk because... Well, I thought it would be fun. Honestly I've made a number of chalk chickens but you guy don't get to see most of those. Anyways I'm mainly posting this because I wanted to erase my chalk board so I could do something else on it and I thought it would be a shame to lose this one.

That's some high class art right there.

Create a chicken in a medium you've never used before, be it physical (like yarn tied around thumbtacks) or software (like an HTML table with different coloured cells) or whatever.  
CHALLENGE COMPLETE!  (How did it take me so long to do this?)

I'm looking for a number between 2 and 4. And I'm pretty sure that it's 3.

A Twist

In this piece the artist chose to create a distinct twist on his usual style. While still using the heavy and distinct shading the artist chose to use a lighter tone for the shading rather than his usual dark colors. Combining this with the fact that he chose to use a different model for the base leaves this image feeling like something unique as part of the artist's collection.

I'm Back.

Cord Broke

My laptop power cord burnt out. Here's a crude and inaccurate picture. A new one has been ordered. Be back later guys.

Striped Tie Detective

The Striped Tie Detective has forgotten something. He failed to connect some vital clue, leaving him unsure of who the culprit should be.  He has too many theories, but he knows that in the end it all falls on one man, because there can be only one truth. Suddenly the revelations all connect together. He knows that it was his partner. He'd wanted to ignore the kid. He didn't want to admit that his friend had had anything to do with it. Now, he must solemnly do his duty.

A masterfully crafted 2 framing eye of a fine gray chicken. I think the eye came out quite well.
