Character Sheet

I realized today that I haven't posted anything about Chicken Heroics since the end of July, the month I shared its existence with you all. I didn't stop working on it though. It's still going through the development process quite well. I just hadn't wanted to bog down my site with it, though I actually waste quite a bit of time on it.

This is the character sheet for my game. You know, a character sheet actually reveals a lot about a game. For example the fact that the game has Gold, though I guess I just wrote the letter G. You could have assumed that stood for anything.  Also the number of item slots being fixed is on purpose. You can only carry 10 things at a time. I don't like the book-keeping of weights and what have you that some RPG inventories require, and most players ignore, but I also don't like carrying everything and the kitchen sink so a fixed number of item slots seemed good to me.

Also I assume you can doodle, which might be rude, but look. It's not like the portrait has to be some sort of high class piece of fine art. Just needs to send the basic idea of what your guy looks like. I mean the two silhouettes on the sheet are already there to give you an impression of it being about chickens.

Anyways this went through several revisions already, and will probably go through at least a couple more.

I am sick. Sorry for not posting the last couple days... or probably the next couple days.

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.
