Kicks

The blind and deaf martial artist chicken has been in training for years. Without further guidance all he can do in continue to practice his kick in the darkness.

In this piece I attempted to work with some perspective to emphasize the kicking leg, but as often happens with such attempts I used enlargement, which makes it look like one giant leg. With no background or shading it was hard to create the illusion of depth in the 2D plane.

That's a Hero?

A hero of legend stands above all others in all attributes. The skills of a god belong to him alone. For some strange reason noone seems to believe him when he says these things, possibly because he wears a cheap jacket and a fake gold medallion rather than plate armor or the like. It's like he's from the wrong setting all together. All of the things he says are true though...

Dark Power

He writhes with dark power. He had fought the darkness for years as a rare hero of light. It is an unfortunate reality that as one fights the darkness one becomes it. Though he is clothed in darkness he still stands by the light as it shines in his eyes.

Let's pick up the pace!

Strange Style

This chicken has his own sense of cool. I can't make heads or tails of it myself. Seems heavy on two tone. I mean there's nothing wrong with a neckerchief of course, but that headband is just silly.

Food

In this picture two chickens share a meal. What it is I can't say for certain, but it's almost certainly delicious. This picture is set in olden times. You can tell because the one is wearing a breast plate and the other is wearing a cloak. This was conceptualized as part of my game but it didn't look very good in black and white so I went ahead and colored it and added some more bits to it. I think it looks pretty nice.

Chicken X

A strong hearted fowl with a powerful scar across his face stands ready to break through the universe. Will he be a true hero?

8 in 7 Styles... 800th Post

Sorry for the delay I couldn't seem to come up with anything dramatic for my 800th post. I hadn't realized it was coming up and hadn't prepared.

So we have here eight chickens, because this is post eight hundred. I drew them in 7 styles, though no two are really the same. It was just that I wanted to maintain this basic coloring in all of them, though I did do black and white for the Gritty Sharpness. Also that pixel art one isn't up-scaled. It was kind of a pain to work with that methodology, using the large square brush and making sure it lined up right. Abstract stands out with his lack of eye.

With this resolved I expect to return to my usual pace.
