Never Old

A four color design never gets old. And if it's these 4 colors these are usually the ones I pick. Really this design could be used with any sort of pattern. It's only 4 chickens because well, that's this site.

Psychic Burst

The humble space chicken sees a multitude of possible futures before him with only a moment to react to what's about to happen.
Orange and White are colors I associate with space outfits. I think that that's not right though.

Craftsmanship

This fowl fellow has been through quite a bit of the rough and tumble. For this piece rather than try to push a concept I just went with some craftsmanship.

Bold View

Previously I showed you a dull view. Not I will show you a bold one. I used stronger sharper lines in the chicken. I liberally applied detail to the grass. I needed to spice up the sky so I added in a rainbow. I think we can agree that's a better tree. And it's in strong bright colors so as not be be as boring as the previous picture.
Also that was post 1100, this is 1111. I think they make a nice contrast.

Overview

Let's begin with a firm overview of the situation. This is not an angle that I draw from. The head is too big and the wings are all wrong. I had to make him kind of pigeon-toed to get the feet and I'm not sure that's how chickens work. So this is clearly wrong, but I kinda like it. It's a stylized image, and it's not like my usual work isn't heavily stylized. This is just a different style so it feels a bit off to me.

You know. This last year I haven't posted on here very much compared to, say, the first year of this site. There are a lot of reasons for that. I mean I started this site when I was in High School and now I've already finished college and gotten a real job. And, it's a bit biased on my part, the quality of material on the site has improved quite a bit. I mean back in '09 I was knocking this stuff out in 10 minutes and throwing it up here.
But with that in mind the last few months I have posted about 9 times over the month. I remember before I used to post something every other day. Now that wasn't an official schedule or anything but I made a habit of it and at some point I seem to have lost that. I mean I still think about the site often, or consider what I'll be doing with it, but that's not the same.
That is why this month I'm going to post every day. I heard 21 days to form a habit, so I'll give it 31 to get back into the swing of things on here. Now, I won't lie to you. I'm probably going to cheat a bit and make content for future posts when I have time, and the quality will probably suffer a bit as I make something even when I haven't got a solid concept in mind, but that's alright. I'm sure some of the material this month will be excellent and that's what's going to count when it's said and done. I question the caliber of some of the ones I've posted in the past few months.
