Swishle

A chicken of great experience. He is... Swishle. Cause he's like Swish!


Also in case it wasn't entirely clear that last post was for April Fools. Though I may actually like to post my fan art in large chunks like that. Those were all real fan art and I really was happy to get them. But I decided to use them for April Fools anyways.

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.

Underwater?

Well, I was chit chattering with a buddy today and we discussed how he's still having some trouble with new MS Paint. So, after faiing to get old MS Paint to work on his computer I recommended mtPaint. He decided against it, but I went, "You know. I haven't used that in quite a while." So I used it. Then I fiddled with it's fancy gradient tool and this is what I got. I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't get the gradient to semi-transparently sit on top of the whole image of course. (Especially sine that's what the preview does) You know. when I play with fancy things I wanna do fancy things. Oh yes. This is the best sorta gradient by the way. The two color sort. I could do it by hand if I weren't a tad lazy. Well, I've done the other sort by hand too. It's easier actually But more like busy work.

Blazing

A rather basic construction of line art. Compared to the artist's usual standards this piece it seems simplistic, though the open beak is of note as it is a rarity in the collection. However it's impressive design and feeling of depth does little but draw out the lack of dimensions in the piece, which could likely have been corrected by the shading of the colors.

Giraffe

 

This is what you would call a D-I-Y Giraffe costume. Hand crafted by the finest swiss costume-makers. Because those aren't contradictory in the slightest.

Anyways The chicken tied a rather lengthy piece of cardboard tubing to his head, likely from some sort of wrapping paper or the such, then, using scissors and glue, attached a smaller tube, possible toilet paper, to the front. Then it all got spray painted yellow, and the swiss Sharpie-ed on the eyes. From there he draped himself in yellow cloth, with two hanging bits in the front with blocks on the ends to serve as the forelegs. And like that Badda-bing bada boom. CHALLENGE COMPLETE!

Wolf in Chicken's Clothing

Wolf in Chicken's Clothing

His dear friend Grey died years ago. And when he looked at the night sky he couldn't help but remember him. His death had been the Wolf's fault. Grey had died so that the Wolf could survive during the famine. And the wolf had always regretted it. And as he took up Grey's hat and scarf he swore to protect and uphold Grey's ideals.

Challenger! If you're here still tell me if it's alright for me to count this. Cause I read your challenge and this was what I wanted to make. I mean you probably wanted a wolf disguised as a chicken but... Anyways tell me if you accept this... CONDITION COMPLETION!
