Pumpkin – October 2024 Wallpaper

 

Another Halloween has come and as we creep into the night we can see the candles flicker in the withering jack-o-lanterns. In the darkness, where only bird beaked squid-like beasts lurk the shining visage of a chicken is all that the safe boys and girls need to see.

As always this month's wallpaper is brought to you by my Patreon supporters. Thanks you for your support.

Spooky Ghost

A sheet is quite the costume when there's a real ghost underneath.

This is a chicken though so rather than a sheet this is probably just a pillowcase. Or maybe even a handkerchief. 

Swept Comb

Truly, what is art? Through a handful of lines and colors we commit a concept to paper so far removed from the reality that it's hard to convince anyone they're the same thing at all.

But you all agree that this is a chicken, even though birds don't have eyebrows at all, while this one is a striking example of them.
 

Dork

The chicken kept being called a dork, simply because he was a loser scientist wearing glasses. The insults led to more and more conniving, but despite the dork's dream of being a mad scientist he could never actually come up with a proper evil scheme.
 

Overflowing

A record scratch. Dramatic camera angle of something boring. Slap transition to this chicken, overflowing with splashes of color.

smol

You see, this chicken is very smol. Tiny. Wee little thing. Not a baby chick, just an exceptionally petite fully grown fowl.

Prance

Just do a little prance, it's the fanciest dance.

Of course prancing is entirely distinct from the actual chicken dance.

Sprayed

 There's no turning back. There's only going forward. That's why I never undid anything as this piece continued coming together. Each wonton stroke of the MS Paint Spray Can brought us closer to this.

I wanted to clean up the strays, but I stopped myself. Only going forward.
