Western Hero

I haven't done any Wild West things in a while. This is obviously a bandit. You can tell because he actually put the bandana up over his face instead of using it as a sensible neckerchief. So he's not really a hero. That's a complete misnomer.

Filled Fan Character Sheet

I got a fan art. It's a filled out Chicken Heroics Character Sheet. Now obviously this guy, goes by the name Cypriss, doesn't know the rules of Chicken Heroics since I haven't released them to anyone but a few people who are helping me with the development. He did suggest that Seeds be a ranged weapon and I have no argument with that.

Now onto the key point. This is just some bad art. Those blank eyes are slightly disorienting. I just feels wide. I don't like the way the beak looks... I like clearer divisions between things. Not sure what I don't like about the comb. Well look, I'm more happy that fan art than I am upset about bad art. I feel like I'm letting you all down by not tearing it apart though... :-(

Looking Up

This one started as a plain boring chicken, but I decided to make it blue, toss some of the black cell-shading I call gritty sharpness on it and throw out the body. Now it's an interesting piece. It is just a tad disorienting.

Cool Shades

It's been a while since I busted out a chicken wearing some cool shades so I had to throw one down. This guy is in front of some brickwork since that implies a sort of back alley setting.

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.
