November 2020 Wallpaper – Wild Calm

There are two sides to every coin, and two aspects of every bird. Be overwhelmed with your blissful madness and depressed stoicism! On this day will you be Wild or Calm?

I tried several shading and color variants for this piece but the flat muted colors looked best.

Thank you as always to my supporters on Patreon. Without their support these big ones would probably still only come out once every 2-3 months when I was in the mood.

Turkey Night

As night grew near the turkey could only stand surprised, but triumphant. It has survived the holiday yet again.

Wrap

This humble bird is wearing a stylish wrap about its neck. There aren't any hidden secrets or mysterious clues to share.

Bolt

With a bolt from the blue the chicken appeared out of the darkness to make a stylish entrance and save the day.

Simpler

I wanted to use some more simple shapes than I have been tending to lately. This piece is pointier and has less distinct curves.

While it isn't my intention I feel like it has a nice N64-esque low poly 3D feel. I've attempted to make some 3D chickens before but they were mostly quite bad. I would like to give it another shot some time.

Fighting

Two birds locked in combat. Forever lashing out at one another in the endless darkness. In the end there is only one true winner, and that is their firm friendship. After fighting for so long they have bonds that can never be broken.

Still Cool

Is this still cool? The answer is trivial. Cool can only be measured through a ratio of hair height, sunglasses and confidence. That last one is hard to project in an image, but wearing sunglasses at inappropriate times is usually a sign that you aren't.

Loincloth

The red loincloth was originally a lovely taupe, but now it is forever stained dark red, with the well cooked blood of it's prepared root vegetables. Despite countless claims that it is a violent barbarian in a loincloth it is quite confident in its identity as a cook with an apron.

Godzilla Day

Happy Godzilla Day everyone. Today is the 66th anniversary of the classic film's release. I celebrated it by watching the American version, featuring Raymond Burr. I generally prefer the Heisei films though.

This isn't my ideal giant chicken monster, but one that embraces a firm Godzilla motif and aesthetic. I tried to capture the iconic square face and used the ridge shape for the crown.

As for other things going on today this is a website where I draw chickens in MS Paint.
