Up-Swing

He's been dashing forward and finally caught the wind under his wings. Soon he will take flight. Similarly we have completely the goal set last year of making more posts this year than last. As you can clearly see we have now beaten last years number of posts by 1.

Jump Turn

One very impressive jumping spin flip. It's the only reasonable way to turn around.

Traditional Christmas End

And at this time I will wrap up Christmas in the traditional manner. The traditional Christmas Fowl rides across the red sky of dusk on his golden star, releasing the green light that will one day become Spring. That's a normal and traditional Christmas thing, right?

Merry Christmas Again. I hope you had a wonderful day.

Stealth Ace

The true master of disguise, Stealth Ace, has cleverly hidden himself in a brightly colored box. No one will notice it under this Christmas tree... If only he'd realized that is was a pine tree outside and not actually a Christmas tree at all, perhaps it would be more effective.

Chilly Returns

This is a sequel to the original Chilly the Snowchicken. I feel I have improved a lot, but still I like the original as well. Anyways, it comes with the same song. I don't recall anything about the actual Frosty Returns after all. Happy Birthday!

♪ Chilly the Snowchicken, was a savory happy soul, ♪
♪ With a radish waddle and a carrot beak, and two eyes made of coal. ♪
♪ Chilly the Snowchicken, is a fairy tale, they say. ♪
♪ He was made of snow, but the children know he came to life one day. ♪
♪ There must have been some magic in that old red glove they found, ♪
♪ For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around! ♪
♪ Oh, Chilly, the Snowchicken, was alive as he could be; ♪
♪ and the children say he could cluck and peck, ♪
♪ just the same as you and me. ♪

Wizard Nick

This was supposed to be another Santa but he felt too wizard-esque to me so instead of Saint Nick he's Wizard Nick. In between giving corn to good chicks he fights off evil foxes. Chances are he just magics all the toys up as well.

Santa Hat

In order to differentiate this piece from the collection I chose to use a very limited palette, letting the reds of the comb and wattle match the felt. The same is true of the fur and feathers. In a shift I let the eye take an orange color shared by the beak. This limited palette lets the piece showcase the thin distinctions we make between the reality and the ideals of Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone.
