Three Point Strike

The terrifying three point strike. It starts facing down, then a flip back and a swirl to face the enemy again. It is a powerful technique known only by an ancient order of monks high in the mountains of Nevada. Unfortunately despite knowing it they cannot seem to find any chickens with the self control and mentality to learn the martial art. And being simple human monks they certainly can't do it themselves.

Red Eye For This

I was drawing this and I said, "Are you ready for this." Then I went, "Oh ho. Red Eye for this." So I dumped the eye red. You're very interested in this inspiring tale of daring-do I'm sure.

Swords and Wands

I have always been willing to just go ahead and give the characters on this site things that they have no real way of using, like swords. (I actually haven't done it in longer than I thought.) This has led to a few jokes about everyone obviously being psychic. They don't have hands so how do I presume they hold these things. Stuff like magic wands is actually more acceptable, since they could obviously be doing it because they're magic.

Anyways with that in mind I started writing a short side-bar for my RPG to remind people that it makes no sense to give their chicken a sword.  They need like, some cowboy spurs. I made magic rings instead of wands, since to me it made more sense. Weapons are defined in a pretty vague manner in this game so there's nothing really stopping them from making up whatever weapon they want. I just wanted them to think about it. 

But then I realized that that was silly. Magic Swords are what fantasy is all about. How would you know the farmer is a farmer if he wasn't holding a pitch fork? Is a dapper gentleman as dapper if he doesn't have a cane? Obviously they tuck them under the wing like this viking did or hold it with their mouth.
This picture was an attempt to make someone who looked properly armed and ready for things. I like the look of that little secondary beak horn thing, but he is way under-armed and the perspective made it awkward to draw in things like armor.

Again

Previously we tried something new. Now we're doing it... AGAIN! This time it's not new because I already did it once.

4 Color Band

The four colors band together in chicken form to bring about the end of it. What is it you ask? The lack of color in the last couple posts. That's what it is.I know what you're thinking. Why did I use Purple instead of Yellow. The answer is... I didn't think about it until I was writing this. I'm going to claim it's because yellow doesn't show up as well on white.

Skeleton

This is a chicken skeleton and I am never going to draw another one. At least I have no intention of doing so at this point. I wouldn't have drawn this one if I didn't want to say...

CHALLENGE COMPLETE!!


Bird skeletons really do resemble dinosaurs.

Chicken Heroics: The Chicken Maker RPG

Chicken Heroics is something I've been working on for a while now. It is a tabletop RPG where everyone is a chicken. It uses piles of coins instead of silly things like dice. (sorry Heaton) Oh, and the fantasy setting has gods like Cluckthulu and a Tyranosaurus. Knew I'd find a use for that generic fantasy setting.

Anyways this is a picture of the current version of the cover. I'm just posting something so I won't be able to back down later. I've already been working on it for more than a month in secret so I don't expect I will, but you know.

This is going to be a for sale product, but I'll be posting things on here anyways. It's no fun if you don't go at it full force, after all. Don't suppose I can get some questions or passive interest in this. I mean I hardly shared anything about it after all.

This was my original drawing of coins, but they just weren't good enough. Art that I decided wasn't good enough to sell and threw out of that is good with you guys right? I mean if I don't post it it'll just get thrown out.

Scrawl Some More

I just feel like when I do things my usual way I'm being lazy. To not be lazy I do something else. To do something else I go off the wall. When I go off the wall it looks like I was just scribbling, which is way lazier.

swishy

This guy is all swishy. Or rather he's plain and kinda boring, but the background it kinda swishy. I think he looks pretty good though regardless.

Dull Dark

This is a dull piece. He is quite Dull, and Dark. He was mainly made for the purpose of making sure I post something the evening of the first. An Emergency Chicken thrown our a bit before the emergency. Honestly though he's probably good enough to be general purpose.
