I think I'm starting to run out of ideas. Okay, well, I'm always running out of ideas but I figured that the like 2 people who visit probably have a couple ideas to throw out here so I'd love to hear them. That way I won't have to actually have them.
Now as far as this guy goes I was just looking at my christmas chikfilet cow and figured a chicken with a sign was the way to go.
So, ideas, toss 'em over.
This is my very fancy french piece, which I did exactly like all my other pieces. Oh, now I put some serious thought into doing it fancier, but well I tried to and it seemed kind of awful.
Then I got a burst of idea while I was typing this and figured out how to make it look fancy. I just had to do a bunch of short little nibbling lines like real art's made of. Now sure it looks kind of bad right up on it, but back up a few feet and it looks no worse than most of the things here. I actually really enjoyed doing the second one, though it didn't exactly come out as the ideal or something of artistic merit. Still it gives an interesting contrast with the first. I may well do another like this at some point.
Also for those of you who either A)Speak French or B) Don't Speak French I just translated Cloak and Dagger of Chicken using a crappy online translator. Actually if you do speak French could you tell me why what I wrote up there is retarded, not minding the fact that the title didn't even make proper grammatic sense in the first place.
Here's a totally crappy one. I made it for a friend's birthday but forgot. So I decided to post it up today, since it's my birthday. For some reason it makes me think of a cake. Not a long post today. I've got stuffs to do.
This one came out a little poorly, well really I guess I just didn't center the head well. I never would have redone it though so I'm posting it now. Anyways it's got a Gundam-style V on it's forhead to make it clear that it was a giant robot. Then I gave it the pointy comb and waddle to give it a mechanical feel. The beak came out rather nicely I think. The head I put a good amount of effort into but I was totally half assed when I did the body. And of course he has a mono-eye so he's probably some sort of bad guy.
I'm calling this one "The Look." It's actaully the same chicken as on the Wallpaper. I liked the way he came out and wanted to draw him again. He looks like a tough guy. I gave his one of those psuedo-shadows in the background that you see in intros and commercials from time to time. I rather like how he came out here too. Took me more than a few tries to actually redraw one of my mostly random chickens. I mean to get the points that made him unique, which are his split on top comb,which I couldn't quite get, slightly crooked beak, and shadowed green eyes. Interesting to actually do something like this.
I don't know what he is exactly but I know that he has got some awesome sideburns. Unfortunately he's also bald. But he's a chicken so that's to be expected. The real shame is his small comb. Anyways Yeah.
This is a fullsized Background, 1280 x 800, which is really too big for most people but it's my computer's resolution. so that's how it is. I also have a second cropped down 800x600 version. I didn't want to resize it straight up so you know.
I call this one Combo Play. I'm not really sure why. Anyways my method for this piece was a bit odd. First I drew a sorta wierd abstract squiggle thing. Then I copied it and used the spray can to color it. Then I pasted it back over the image. You know I think it gives a good impression of a barnyard fowl other than the fact that they eye is blue. Chickens never have blue eyes, as far as I know, but I seem to always use them on mine, probably becaus eit gives a better contrast than light yellow or brown...
This was an experiment First I drew the chicken base.(on the right) Then I expanded it into a chicken.(On the Left) Looks a bit goofy, yeah but that's okay. I've had much more awful ones. Then I took the Chicken base again and expanded it out to be a person.(In the Center) Now it doesn't look like a real person, but I can imagine seeing it in the Comic Strips in the paper.
The answer is no.
You didn't expect something else did you? Fine.
You know how sometimes you get the egg with the double yoke. This has nothing to do with that. This is clearly a Fractal chicken. Very simple when you think about it really. It's odd that it didn't come to me immediately. You see the inner chicken grew a secondary outer chicken to further it from simply chicken, destined for somebody's dinner to side-show freak chicken...
But seriously. The answer is no.
I couldn't help but wondering if I've improved at all since I started. To find out I decided to remake one of my older ones. Obviously the one I redid was Vampire. I have come to the conclusion that I have improved.
I was challenged and I accept! I'm not entirely sure what I've been challenged to or what I'm doing, but this arbitrarily named Kung Fu guy is gonna take you down Allie!
Here comes my latest works. I finished them all and decided they should be released as a set. Pirates and ninjas are always quite popular on the internet. And of course Cowboys and Knights slide right in there with them. Mind, I couldn't manage a good knight so it's just Pirate, Ninja and Cowboy. Did 'em all in one go.
Okay. First off I've got a pirate. He's got a bandana, a peg leg, and an eyepatch. These are the standard pirate features. Maybe I should have stuck a skull on there somewhere, but it didn't seem apropriate. He's missing something, but I couldn't figure out what.
Next up is the Ninja. If you can't make out the outline then try tilting your moniter You should be able to see him snce he's absolutely black(RGB 0,0,0) and the background is just a mix of dark green and blue, with some lighter lines cutting through it. Anyways, Ninja almost invisible and all that.
I like cowboys. So he has a cowboy hat, and a vest, and all that. I would have given him a revolver, but I wasn't entirely sure how he'd manage to hold it. His hat's covering his eyes since the stranger who hunkers into town just in time to get caught up in the mess and save the day should look mysterious.
How do I justify half the nonsense I post on here. I mean this is clearly a half-snake/half-brontosaurus. Yeah I said brontosaurus. It's got one of those box heads that don't go on the real dinosaur. But that's not important. Sometimes my inspiration doesn't want to draw a chicken and it does something else. Sometimes that something else doesn't look half bad and I end up wanting to stick in on here so I just doodle a chicken and stick it in. I actually like that little tiny chicken, but he was totally an afterthought and I can't even pretend to deny it. As such I have added the "Not Chicken" tag, which is also going on some of the older posts retroactively, but there's no need to worry about that. I can't imagine the Not Chicken posts won't still have a chicken in them somewhere.
This is my quite unoriginally named "Abstract 2." It is of course related to my very early Abstract piece in that it was made without the slightest focus on detail. I actually like it. Just a few lines that give the impression of a chicken without actually being one.
This one I decided to do using only the spraypaint tool, and also only black though that isn't important.
This guy's looking up toward the heavens. This embodies his search for a destiny and future. Oh, and I gave him some of those always closed eyes you see in cartoons sometimes. Anyways as I was saying this is about him staring at the sky in search of his destiny and future.
Course since he's a chicken that's probably his future as a sandwich or otherwise food
This one's called CHICKEN-DO-KEN!
I really feel that no explanation is required.
I haven't done anything irregular in a while. I've been trying to think of clever themed chickens lately and haven't just tried my hand at a differenter art. I mean I've fallen into habit using the same brush(I mean there's only 12 in Paint but...) and the same dozen colors.
The problem I now realize has been my lack of burning passion. I've just been practically forcing myself to do these when nothing was coming to me. Of course now I finally got one. Something that captures a bit of flare on it's own. I used Literal flames, figurative flames and even contrasting forces to bring it all out in this one.
I'm short on ideas so all I've got to toss out is Red the Rooster. Also my friend's birthday is on the 10th so I'm holding a good one back for then.
This one is called "Fatty." It's not offensive or anything. I just looked at him and thought he seemed like a fat guy. Not sure why. He's clearly confused or impressed by whatever he's seeing(You can tell by the way his head is cocked to the side.)
