Dark Shine

The darkness and bright colors produce an interesting contrast with one another. The two waves coming from the back help to define the shape of the chicken without being forced. The red and black give a powerful evil sort of effect while the lime green eyes and yellowish beak nicely cut the effect. The stare to the right gives a powerful impression of his side. The split in the beak lets it have stronger facial impressions.

Epicly Boring

This one is epic and boring. That is to say that it is epic at a glance but once you look you realize it's boring.  Look how bored that chicken looks. The dull looking eyes and lack of focus are the boring element while the background is like a star burst, but not. The star burst is the epic. Well, it's not really epic but it does look a bit exciting. That's close enough for my purposes at any rate. Not sure this is quite explosive enough though. I mean I barely even posted this week and this is all I managed... Maybe I'll do better next time.

Chaser

Okay, we're back to full awesome. As promised this has quality. You see that shading on the chicken, right? It has Epic awesomeness. He's being chased by a demon made of fire. It even has things I didn't promise like symbolism and confusion.

The chicken is fleeing from hell, or something of that sort, where he was a prisoner being treated as a pet of sorts by the demon. However as he runs he runs somewhere that isn't even comprehendable and still just keeps fleeing because no matter how well treated he was he was still a prisoner and he needs to escape.

Oh, and if you didn't catch the symbolism even a golden collar is still a collar.

Blue Period END!

And the Blue Period is over. Picasso's lasted 5 years. Mine lasted 5 posts. Coincidence? I think so. And while I say this is the end you know what I kinda like these monochromatic pieces and might do some more some time. It'll be a more exciting color next time though. I don't really care for somber images.

Anyways next post I'm back to full awesome. The next post will be up shortly. Just as soon as I make it. And it'll have everything. It'll have quality and be awesome. And it might not have an outline. I haven't decided yet. Oh, and it'll be epic... and... uh... I'll know more once it exists

Rising Blue

Despite his deep sorrow and just being the same as so many others around him he still was the drive to improve and is trying to get out of the pit of despair he's in. His passions still exist and  he will escape the fate he's nearly falling to.

These monochrome images are really improving my feel for designing things without borders. I mean I used to be good at those but I quit for quite a while. I guess it's more of a refresher course than a learning experience. Anyways this Blue Period will be over when I have a great idea that strikes me, or I decide to resume my Alphabet series.

Blue Too

The somber eyes show an ever present despair. the monochromatic nature gives a strong impression of his long solitude. The expression looks forced as if he's hiding a secret or lying about everything, but despite his efforts he can't hide his sorrows.

F.

You thought that my Blue Period was gonna be a one-off sort of thing, didn't you. Ha. I'll show you. I'll show all of you that I'm not the sort to back down to a lack of pressure! I'll be straight with you this one is very cheaply made. Don't expect this sort of low quality in the rest of the series.

Anyways this is F. Obviously it is the next piece in my alphabet series. For some reason I just felt like I should get D., E. and F. done around the same time. I mean taking a break after F is perfectly reasonable but between E and F would have simply been unacceptable.
