Single Stroke 2

I made several attempts at drawing a chicken in a single click. I'm not sure why the older ones are so rough though. I didn't spend that long on this one.

On that note the image I have called "Single Stroke" doesn't actually appear to be on this site, which is probably fine as it's quite bad.

Weather

Nature is full of amazing forces. The weather fowl gathered the power of both lightning and tornadoes, allowing it to face off against any sort of Snow Cat or Drought Dog.

Space Chicken Jagger

Just needed a new logo for my long lasting fantasy football team, the Space Chickens, so I present to you Space Chicken Jagger. Somewhere between an evil galactic emperor and a star sheriff we'll always have the Space Chicken.

Round Warrior

Despite its large girth the round warrior had trained tirelessly day in and day out so that no matter what befell it there would still be a chance for survival.

In the end both the ground and sky were stained with the blood of its enemies.

August 2020 Wallpaper – Shatter

The image is 'shattered' and the shards are all styled slightly differently. I had originally intended each section to be more different than they are but it was distracting to look at so I made the colors and styles more consistent, though it seems a bit wrong to think of this wide array of grays consistent.

As always these wallpapers are brought to you by my supporters on Patreon. In truth I'm rather fond of the WIP posted on Patreon for this one, where the various sections were just different bright colors. It wasn't really a finished piece by any means though.

Through Fire

Going forth through the raging flames, confronting and overcoming the adversity of literal fire, is the only way to truly become a better and more delicious... Sorry forgot where we were going with this.

Hopping Hero

The one chicken had a truly a heroic tale. Saved the farmer's daughter. Put out a blazing house fire. Pulled a drowning child from a well. These days it hops along on just its left leg.

Why? Well, as they say, a pig that good you don't eat all at once. This is a chicken though.

 

 

Framed (plus Pixel Studio review)

I recently found an app called Pixel Studio which was released earlier this year, and I kind of like it. In my endless quest to find a pixel perfect digital art app on my phone I downloaded it without much thought or expectations, but it works great. I've always felt that I had pretty low expectations as far as this goes but most of these apps have let me down.

The UI seems pretty smooth, though I see a good number of complaints about it being changed recently? It has a full suite of features, even if I'm not utilizing any of those. Filters, layers, animation frames, etc.

Logo and Branding 2020

This is the new and official ChickenMaker.net logo and brand guidelines. (For my personal use obviously. I don't know who else thinks we have a brand.) This should probably have been posted before I updated the site since this is already around.

The new logo is based off the previous concept scrap. I used clean simple shapes and adjusted the angle on the paintbrush. We have clear and recognizable line work, which shows includes both the chicken and drawing aspects of the site. For the full color variant we have added the partially colored white body. Body left we have a two tone version, where we fill most of the enclosed sections. I also set up a vector version, which you can see on the top of the sidebar, something I previously didn't have.

We have a pretty generic uppercase text, though it is hand drawn. For the text you can just kind of split and orient it any way that seems convenient, including Chick–Enmak–Er.Net, whatever that means. Try to align the left edge. Displaying the logo and site name should follow the purple layout on the bottom left, with the text in an "L" shape. It isn't that way in the site banner because that's wide.

Our brand colors are still primarily the shade of lavender which has been the site background ever since the site stopped being lime green. The primary color is mainly used for large background elements and content on dark backgrounds. The dark purple is for outlines and content on light backgrounds, along with backgrounds for light text. Black text is preferred. The light purple on the sidebar isn't a brand color.

Primary Color: #C694FC

Cowboy Action

The two gunslingers looked at each other across  the barren land, the orange sky of dawn beating down upon then. As the man extended his hand the bird lifted a talon. Hopefully the barrel wasn't clogged with dirt.
