Inspired

I felt inspiration and with it came this inspired drawing. Nothing particularly impressive about it I suppose. I haven't done anything to make this piece particularly stand out. It's just a rather nice, if standard, chicken.

This is neither what chickens look like nor the way in which I normally stylize them. Why, if it weren't on this site I'd have no idea what it was at all.

Site For Lames

To start with, no this is not a site for lames, but this is a picture of a chicken looking at this site on his very old computer and calling it so lame. The main point here is that I want you guys to talk at me and this seems to require me to prod you on occasion.
Now, for something unrelated, but more site relevant. I don't know why I always draw wattles on chickens. They do not always have them and it would be a simple way to diverisify the site to a greater extent. On a closely related note I draw them wrong almost all of the time. I mean really the wattle is two distinct protrusions of flesh, but here it has become something like a solid chunk of flesh under the beak. I mean most of what I draw is inaccurate so that's not really an issue. It's how I stylistically render these things. I just thought I'd mention it.

I was talking about Pixel art and that made me want to take a moment and do some. So I did. This is it. I am a bit unhappy with the left leg. That's the one on the right if you're unsure
Glow Like The Sun

There was one rooster with a gift. He glowed brightly in the world. He shined like the sun. This was in no way a metaphor and it was quite terrifying.
This month has been a bit slow so far due, in main part, to me being distracted by other things. Like video games, and my secret project that is in no way a secret since I told you all about it. Anyways I'll be getting back into the swing of things.

Zig Everything

Zig zags and scribbles are generally my way of mixing it up. While this may look like something I tossed together in a moment it in fact took notably longer than it usually does. That's probably a matter of lack of practice at it, but regardless this is the picture.
RPG: Combat

Hello, I am going to talk a bit about the way my game's combat system works, but first I'm going to say that I really like this picture and will definitely be keeping it in the book, assuming I can get the layout to cooperate.
So, the combat system in Chicken Heroics is pretty simple. You roll your attack and try to beat the target's defense roll. If you fail then the next person goes. If you succeed then it reduces the target's defense so he's easier to hit next time. Once he can't defend at all you need to hit him once more to knock him out of the fight.
I purposely didn't call being defeated as death, but I'm not sure if that's good. It basically means the only way to be killed is in a Total Party Kill or by GM fiat. Perhaps I will add the option to finish off a target who has been knocked out of combat.
Also do these articles about my project bother anyone? I mean I could just continue quietly working on it without saying anything if they do.

Rooster

This is a rooster. That is to say it's a male chicken. Really I just wanted to make some tail feathers and those are one of the real defining characteristics of a rooster.
Mmm... I want to say something deep, but I've go nothing.
