There’s only six more sleeps until Halloween! Earlier in the month, we announced our annual Halloween Art contest with a classic prompt: dress up The Behemoth chicken in a costume, because (as we warned you) the Dawn of THE BEHEMOTH is nigh!
Game 6, “BEHEMOTH“, was unveiled yesterday and will launch for Steam on Halloween, October 31! BEHEMOTH will finally allow you to become our iconic chicken mascot as you fly your flock of baby chicks to safety while dodging deadly fruits and peck-uliar obstacles soaring through the sky!
BUT…this post is about an art contest! And now it’s time for what we’re all here for: WINNING.
We asked, and you all most certainly answered! Not only that, but you answered so hard we had to push our winner reveal out by a day to make sure each entry got the amount of eyes on it that it deserved. Weāre always blown away by the amount of talent, passion, and attention to detail that our community possesses, so good job! To you specifically! Pat yourself on the back right now. Iām waiting.

Good job!
We received nearly three hundred entries for our Pink Knight Valentineās Day art contest and while we wish we could award all three hundred of you people a Pink Knight figurineā¦contests are contests, and you either win first place or you LOSE!!!1!! (But try to keep a sunny disposition, nobody likes a CRYBABY.)
Except with this contest, we originally had only three winners. And we realized that we couldnāt pick just three. We realized weāre so surrounded on all sides by artists (and sculptors, and crocheters, andā¦ice cream molders?) So instead of purely winning or losing, the Necromancer found it in their heart to resurrect a few more goodies (read as: Blacksmith plushies!).

While chickens canāt talk, this chicken has chicken fingers, and wanted to thank everybody who submitted, participated, posted their art, and made us smile. Itās nice to take a step back and focus on love, rainbows, and hamsters every once in a while. We read and reviewed every single entry, whether or not we were able to give yours a personal response. This warm, fuzzy feeling inside was something akin to heartburn for us, so we decided to share it with everyone: go check out the full album of submissions here. They were too good to not be showcased.

Thank you for abiding by the No Hair Collage rule (for the most part š¤®), save for one very clever submitter who blessed our eyes with a HARE Collage:
Thank you to the many who offered to send eye-bleach on the chance we did get hair collage submissions, and just thanks in general for reading our blogs and hanging out with us all these years.
And thank you to the people who wished the chickens running the contest a happy day. <3 We heart you.
