April Fools: New System

So, I have decided that my drawing chickens can be curtailed in the interest of more member-base interaction. I'm not saying I'm not gonna post anymore chickens of my own or anything. I'm just saying I'm going to shift the focus. Also I think I'll go with larger posts rather than many short posts. Also I added labels for the artists who have made multiple contributions [Mozer, Briones, and Beth Harvey(on that note Miss Harvey. Do you have a preference on what I call you?)] to both make them easier to find and to add an incentive to participate. Of course I'll also link to your site if you provide one for me to link back to.

Well well. If it isn't Beth Harvey again. Fancy clown. I like the cross eyed mask. Makes it kinda old school. Needs more accessories. And it's like he has a receding comb-line, though as a clown perhaps that was part of the point.  Also a jpeg.

Fan Chicken #1 by Beth Harvey

I might love you if you hadn't sent me not one, but TWO chickens saved as jpegs. Nice effort on the chicken though. I dislike the beak style but it's pretty legit. Like in the cartoons. Comb's poorly built and doesn't connect into the head at all. The tears cover up the eye, which doesn't look like it was very good to begin with.

Chicken Knight by Briones

Too bulky human with a chicken face. I expect better from you Briones. Old Chicken Knight was a million times better.

WHO CAN FACE HIM by Briones

Okay Briones. The fire does make it somewhat better, but what sorta racist message are you trying to send. Why is the finished version of chicken face white while the unfinished is brown. As usual though. I do like your fire.

Still Life by Briones

Briones... Chickens can't fly. Though I do like his evil plan to blow up that pyramid. Oh, and I don't know the author but Tom Robbin's "Still Life with Woodpecker" was clever. Trying to beat me to the punch on my own challenge, eh? Anyways. the comb needs to have more overlap with the head.

Fin by Chicken Maker Kaloo

 Another great piece by the Chicken Maker. Not much else to say really

Anyways. That's all for this time. Let's do this again some time ladies and gentlemen. You know. Once I've accumulated enough fan chickens.(send 'em in!) I promise to be gentler with my critiques if you come quickly.

Avion Affection

Briones sent me a Fan Work again. Nice to hear from him I suppose. Here he presented MINECRAFT! It's a great game and his block chicken is great work. But the chicken he drew is terrible. Those eyes look like gobbledy-gook. The beak is shaped stupid. The first and second panels are identical, but that's not really an issue. It's just a normal delay. thing. The top of the wattle is flat. I Mean I usually mush it into the beak, but it's certainly not flat. At least gotta have an angle on it.

And I like the pixelated heart. That is all

Briones Sucks Now

 

You know I used to think that Briones might be better than me just because his looked nicer and he had more talent. But this one has restored my faith. Firstly it's a jpg which as I've explained numerous times means you just don't care. You see jpgs leave all sorts of artifacts on colors. Also the bottoms don't match up at all. I'll admit that the exploding eye is pretty good. I wouldn't have ever thought of it after all. It's a real shame that despite his talent he doesn't put very much real caring or passion into it.

I unfortunately don't have enough energy to explain to you more thoroughly right now internet but just remember that I'm the best.

If anyone would like to submit some sort of guest chicken then get me at kaloo0 on AIM.

"hold the line!" by Briones

 Yes, that's right. It's time for another guest chicken from Briones. He's great at this but only in short bursts. Tomorrow's his birthday so I decided I have to completely crush this one with my next. It really is nice though. See how he's got that nice fire. I just can't pull off that sort of fire. Really I can't give some in depth commentary on it and it is pretty solid. The only real problem with it is that it should have been a Chicken Knight vs. a giant fire breathing chicken. I mean come on. That's just simple logic that is.

Fan Work by Briones

You see... This is what it's all about. The technical skill, the color choice, and especially the passion. They all shine through in this one. New Challanger! has it all. I'm not sure if it was a lack of caring or just good ole American ingenuity but I don't even mind that he mangled the spelling of Challenger.

I wanna see more like this. It sets a new standard!
