Chicken Costume

Chicken dressed as a chicken. It was a suggestion from one of my coworkers. I assumed I'd done it, but I only had a turkey dressed as a chicken when I looked.

Candlelit Coven

 

The witches gathered around the coven's leader. She was small, but absurd rumors that she was "a chicken," "some giant bird" and "a witch" were obviously complete nonsense. Just because the coven's leader was a bit on the short side was no reason to make up that sort of thing.

I forgot I was doing these all on the same canvas size, so here's a the original version I made, before I redrew parts of it to the different dimensions.

Bewitched Bog

In the bewitched bog the bewitched frogs were confused. As they saw through the bewitched fog they were entranced by this rather bewitching blog... 

I mean chicken. A rather bewitching chicken. That doesn't rhyme with bog at all though.

Today

I made this one today. That's why I'm calling it "Today" 

Fiendish Familiar

The Fiendish Familiar appeared to be a simple chicken, but it's true form was revealed in the reflection. From the corner of the witch's eye she saw the eldritch abominations, writhing in the empty air.

Spellbook Apprentice

Accidentally opening the spellbook after wandering into the witch's house. The book took a liking and filled the bird with forbidden knowledge. The meager fowl was entranced by the vast swell of information as the pages span around it like a whirlwind. 

But most importantly the chicken gained the tiny hat the witch had on hand for her cat.

Midnight Delivery

The second theme for Drawtober is "Midnight Delivery" so we're going with a witch chicken flying in the  night time sky. Bwak bwak bwaak!

Bird Sketch

This is a bird. The blue and green background symbolizes. Truly one of the pictures on this website.

I kind of like the sketchy outlines, but making them consistent and rough is a careful balance.

Garden of Magic

The theme is a garden of magick, but I might have ended up more alien world with my choice of less saturated cool colors. Flowers, mushrooms and blue chickens is definitely magic though.

This year we're participating in Drawtober, because it isn't daily like most of these October art events.

AI Generated Post

The following was a drawing and ramble generated using the Craiyon Image AI and NovelAI. This rant is full of inspiration and questions. 

The first and most important point to note about chickens is that they are not people. They do, however, have faces (with beaks). Their heads are large and their eyes are usually small but sometimes quite large. Their legs are short and stubby with no toes or claws. Their feet are in fact the same shape as human hands. A man who does not eat meat cannot be called a vegetarian. He must, rather, be called a "chicken-eater".
