Winner

I won. You may be wondering, "Mr Chicken Man, what did you win?" That's completely irrelevant and there's no need to worry about it.

Traditional Christmas End

And thus we bring an end to this holiday with the most traditional of traditions.

Christmas Night

Christmas is done. The spirit of Christmas stands atop a house, staring at the snow.

This is not the final Christmas post.

Tree - Hidden Chicken

There is a chicken hidden in this picture... I think. I can't say for sure. I can't seem to find it now.

Okay, did you find it yet?

You can keep looking.

Okay, the correct answer is...

Highlight to reveal: 4th bulb from the top.

Presenting Presents

Box. Cylinder. Skewed box. Not only are these shapes easy to draw they're also the ones I can easily wrap. Unlike such dark and twisted shapes as blanket or bag.

Cookie

Gingerbread men are a big part of Christmas, though I usually end up with vague blobs of icing rather than pretty drawings on them after a few. A half dozen gingerbread chickens remain on this counter top now, but will there be any left by morning?

Swirling Santa

Merry Christmas everyone. This is the first of your posts for the day. It's the end of the year so we'll be going at a good pace.

This is a stylized chicken. I was having a good time drawing the swirls for the hat's furry bit so I just continued it through the rest of the drawing.

Green Hat

Fundamentally this is a site where I draw chickens wearing silly costumes. I've been a bit light on the silly costumes so I drew a hat. It's absolutely hideous, so I drew a neckerchief to pair with it. I decided to give the costume the wider outlines and drew a chicken in the middle of it.

I should probably mention something about a Chinese colloquialism here, but we'll save that for another green hat.

Work

They say that if you love what you do you'll never really work a day in your life. That's obviously nonsense. I mean I love this thing that isn't even my job and I still occasionally feel like it's work.

What does that have to do with this picture? I think that started as a retail store vest.

Stealth Main Character

Someone asked me if this site had like a main character or something. The answer is obviously no, but if we did he would be a silver fowl with fiery eyes and some distinct accessories, like a hat and scarf. Definitely not some bird in a box.

NOTE(Feb 2018): Stealth Ace is the wrong color in this piece. He is supposed to be silver also.

Dodging the Axe

Gracefully spinning out of the way the axe can only graze the fowl's feathers.

Water and Fire

Water and Fire
Blue and Red
Cold and Hot
Calculating and Passionate
These contrasts are beautiful.

In Some Color

This might not be in true color or even solid colors, but it is definitely presented here in some colors. I don't even think these are technicolors, but I don't actually know what those are.

Jester

I just wanted an old fashion medieval/fantasy style jester. Those bells are probably piercings. #ClownStyle

Great Show

The play had it all. The glitz and glamour of the stage. The fascinating plot. The prat fall. The banana peel.

Winter Arrives

Welcome to December!

Winter ARRIVES!

On the 21st. So not actually yet.

Racing Game

Zoom! Zoom!

This is how random mascot racing games look in my mind.

Nerdy

Studied and well educated. At least that's what he tries to show. The glasses and bow tie have you convinced I assume.

I feel like I need to apologize for the webbed feet. It just kinda happened.

Stance

Now, I can't say for sure, but I don't think birds bend like this?Or maybe they do. I think all the joints are more or less in the correct place and direction, aside from the left wing being at about a 180 angle.

Serpentine

This terrifying monster lives on the same level as the cockatrice and the basilisk. That line between the snake and the chicken blurs into so many monsters.

Virtual Pet

I always have a half dozen things in progress. So, I played with a lot of virtual pets as a kid. From your mainstream tomagachi and digimon to the off brand dinosaur thing I picked up at the dollar store. (Actually I feel that way about a lot of old LCD games.) There are almost no Virtual Pet apps. It confuses me, because I feel like the cell phone is a great medium for them. I've played around with lots of development tools so I was thinking about making an android app. I naturally don't have a plan of any sort, but I followed a clicker game tutorial and honestly it's basically the same thing except instead of clicking the old ones had shoddy pedometers. I probably won't actually make that, but you'll see if I do.

Pure Blue

My Blue Periods were fun. Also extremely arbitrary. Just working in only blue for an extended period of time. This isn't one of those, but it's a throw back to it. Click here for more blue stuff.

Wild Wester

Hey everybody! I've been busy with things that don't matter. Can't believe I even missed Thanksgiving.

This is semi-abstract piece. I originally wanted to keep it just the line art, but the vest and wings looked unclear without colors.

It might be time to make some actual schedule. I keep not thinking about it and falling behind. But rather than bothering with that now I'll just make lots today!

Inktober 2017

Last month I participated in something called Inktober. Here's all the pictures, which were originally posted on Twitter. I meant to post them at the beginning of the month, but I lost track of the time. I only found out about it midway through the month, but it was a fun activity.

Dashing Bird

Running blindly forward, dodging hardship, and aiming for an absolute victory.

Outline

I decided to try something different. No matter what style I work in I generally have very even and consistent outlines, because it comes naturally from the digital medium I use. For this piece I created the outlines after the fact, giving them variable thicknesses and interesting interior angles.

Under the Spotlight

Here we're putting something cute under the spotlight. Just look at it!

I normally pair this sort of bird with rainbows and clouds so I wanted to mix it up for this one and use a nice gray-scale back to make it pop.

Grace

This bird is quick and lithe. The very model of grace. I'm not sure what's with the weird dance though.

Looking Down

The duchess never looked anyone straight in the eye. This may have been because she was a bird but don't let people use those kinds of excuses. The duchess was definitely looking down on us!

Trick or Treater

This costume is more or less a headless horseman type. Enjoy. And farewell Halloween
