Fighting Game

Fighting Head-to-Head in a best two out of three. Punch in that crazy input and use your... um...

I can't figure out a good chicken pun for Hadoken and any other special move feels too obscure to reference. Like half the special moves in these games end in -ken because it means fist and I guess I can roll that into Chicken, but that just gives us things like Ha-do-chicken. That is fun enough but I'm not satisfied with it.

Anyways I like King of Fighters if I'm picking a fighting game, though I haven't played the newest one yet. 

Face Him!

Do not look away from him. His cold vast stare overwhelms your mind.

Face him! A mere bird is smaller than you so it will surely lose to your passion.

Ready For Music

Are you ready for the music? Are you ready for the beat? If so you are at the wrong website. Audio is an enemy I dare not face. We only make these MS Paint Chicken drawings.

Looking Up

Things are looking up, not that they ever aren't. I, for one, am feeling fantastic. Sky is blue. Grass is green and I'm walking with my head held high. Usually my vague ramblings tend toward getting past the hard times because it's a more interesting narrative to ramble about than "Life is Good!" but we all deserve some much needed positivity.

Forest Egg

The festive hen wearing colorful rabbit ears watches the mysterious forest egg as it starts to hatch. Would it be malevolent or heaven-sent? Would it be a bird or a bunny?

Happy Easter. I hope you're all enjoying the spring holiday.

Rolling Hills

A simple fowl just living among the rolling hills.

Been busy with other stuff, but we'll have some more fun Chicken Maker content soon.

Spray Flip

Just trying to do something a bit more aesthetic for this one. We used only an 8 color "orange" palette for the colors, including white, though it's really more on the brown side. The flecks of white showing through the background design give an unpolished finish to the piece. 

This is a 9:16 aspect ratio so theoretically it works as a phone background but it's probably too small in practice.
 

Business

Do business. Wear a tie. Stand on your hay. Fill the sky with green. Tiny thoughtless eyes, like you're just a random bird. Where did you even get a tie?

Recipe: Roast Cornish Hen

A while back I decided to make a couple of roasted cornish hens, which are like chickens but smaller. The preparation is straight forward much like any other full roast bird, simply placing the thawed, trussed and seasoned-to-taste bird in a lightly oiled baking dish, putting it in an over preheated to 350F for around one hour until fully cooked, occasionally ladling the juices from the pan on top to prevent burning.

I chose to garnish with skewered and roasted cherry tomatoes, which cooked quickly in a separate tray in the oven, preferably until lightly charred and ready to burst in your mouth. The iceberg lettuce and bit of cheese salad on the side provided some much needed texture to the dish.

Squiggle

There are so many words for a vague swoosh and I think I've already used most of them for titles. I'm sure I'll think of a good one next time I have some vague squiggles to draw for a background.
