Dark Contrast

This is Dark Contrast. Pretty much all of my black and white has tended toward Gritty Sharpness so I decided to just do a bit of white on black to mix things up. After all I'm a specialist so I can't just stagnate on some look or I'll get repetitive.  I mean if I weren't a specialist then I could just toss out some not-chickens and not worry about it, but I gotta keep on changing up the style or it'll get old.

Shades McCoolguy: Blue Redemption

Okay, now... normally I wouldn't release some recolor-edit like this but I think it looks smooth, and more importantly it's a good excuse to continue the tale of Shades McCoolguy. Now, when we last left him he was selling out his brothers to the Colonel. And now we pick up from there.

Shades is starting to see how he might have made some bad calls. His fellow chickens were doomed to an eternal torment if he just left them in that man's clutches. They would be fried before there was anything he could do about it. That's why he had to jump to action. When the colonel started his plans to fry up the stupid kids Shades had lured in he had no choice but to save them. They didn't know. They had trusted him and he let them down... Shades acted on instinct, guts, and justice. He took down the colonel and saved those kids. They didn't know what to say, but Shades just walked away like he hadn't done anything special. He was a bit ashamed of himself for ever having fallen in with the 7 secret herbs and spices... He hadn't even done anything about them... He would have to go back in and stop them before they corrupted another hero into being as foolish as him.

K.

K, for reasons beyond me, is my favorite letter. Perhaps because it's one of those sharp letters that never gets used, like X and Z. I can't say for certain though. At any rate I just decided to have chickens poking from various angles out of it. Also the different lines having separate outlines was entirely by choice. I think it looks smoother like that than it did then I tried it without.

Also thank you to Nolan for commenting on me. I am indeed a fan of yours and voted for your site before you said anything.

What Is it?

A while ago I said I wanted to do another one like this so I decided to do another one like this because I said I wanted to. You see, our young chicken hero  is a tough guy who is ashamed because his feathers are dull and no match for his mighty brother's look and power. Despite this he can still hold his own against any normal chicken. Lately some young punks have been peering at him and he finally decided it was time to give them a piece of his mind. He has now turned to face them and give them what for. He asks "What is it?" they want from him.

Flames

Here I did an impression of a chicken using firey colors and flaring lines. This, I feel, gives a robust and powerful feel to the image and lets it stand out amongst the hundreds of other pieces I have here. Actually it slightly reminds me of the fire demon I made only completely different. So, what do you think about that meaningless rambling?

J.

So, I appear to be having another period where I can't draw. What a terrible month for me to declare an intent to do 30. Well, I'll make it up one day when I get the knack back.

 At any rate today I have the letter J, with a Serif because Sans Serif seemed like too lazy of a way to do it. It's just the letter J with a chicken poking up over it. Really one of my less stellar works I must admit.

RAPPY!!!

Well, I'm addicted to a stupid video game that I got at Christmas. As such I fully blame it for my lack of posting for the last few days. Well the game and the fact that I couldn't manage to draw a chicken falling to bring in the new year(I really tried)

Anyways enough excuses. I've drawn a Rappy, the cutest little monster guy from Phantasy Star 0, the game I'm now addicted to, talking with a cute chicken. Unfortunately he ended up having crazy eyes but he's probably just afraid of the cameras. At any rate I think this is a solid first post for the start of the new year. I'm aiming for 30 posts this month.

Oh and my resolution is to find a job, at which point I'll start whining about having to go to work.
