orange is brown

I wanted to do something with more vibrant colors so I made a chicken without any grays or browns or any of those dull colors. I'll admit I kept the black for the outline though. It's good for breaking colors. Anyways orange is a good brown and the pink backing makes it feel like it might be brown.

Also I'm working on something for my next post and it may be a while before I finish up.

Same Chicken Post #7 (Western Style, Realistic Style)

The Same Chicken Project is getting another post!
Making these chickens is relatively simple. It's just a strange shift in proportions combined with the Basic CM Style. The main thing is long neck, big eyes, small beak, round body, head and neck sorta blend together. The Western Style is called that simply because it was inspired by late 90s to early 00s Western Animation in particular that space chicken from the first Courage the Cowardly Dog.
This is what is more or less a Realistic chicken. There's no fancy technique to make making these a simple matter. Because reality is the core this is my Realistic Style. I don't do it often because a) it's hard and b) while it looks nice it's hard to mess with. I mean with the stylized ones I can make a cop or a lawyer or something but putting props on these feels strange.

Two Today

Today I decided to post some of my works in old media, as opposed to my usual digital works. First up is a fine green chicken made of clay. I actually made this quite a while ago out of a few clumps of clay I had laying around. For some reason it just never made it up here until now.



Yes, that is a chess board




This guy totally plays chess.

And second I have a cool chicken on a chalk board. The chalk chicken has a nice feel I think. And I made it using just orange chalk because... Well, I thought it would be fun. Honestly I've made a number of chalk chickens but you guy don't get to see most of those. Anyways I'm mainly posting this because I wanted to erase my chalk board so I could do something else on it and I thought it would be a shame to lose this one.



That's some high class art right there.



Create a chicken in a medium you've never used before, be it physical (like yarn tied around thumbtacks) or software (like an HTML table with different coloured cells) or whatever.  
CHALLENGE COMPLETE!  (How did it take me so long to do this?)

I'm looking for a number between 2 and 4. And I'm pretty sure that it's 3.

A Twist

In this piece the artist chose to create a distinct twist on his usual style. While still using the heavy and distinct shading the artist chose to use a lighter tone for the shading rather than his usual dark colors. Combining this with the fact that he chose to use a different model for the base leaves this image feeling like something unique as part of the artist's collection.

I'm Back.

Striped Tie Detective

The Striped Tie Detective has forgotten something. He failed to connect some vital clue, leaving him unsure of who the culprit should be.  He has too many theories, but he knows that in the end it all falls on one man, because there can be only one truth. Suddenly the revelations all connect together. He knows that it was his partner. He'd wanted to ignore the kid. He didn't want to admit that his friend had had anything to do with it. Now, he must solemnly do his duty.
