How to Make Cartoon Chicken Hideout Art in Path of Exile
Cartoon Chicken is one of the most fun things you can put on your hideout floor. In this guide you will see exactly how Cartoon Chicken was rebuilt from real Path of Exile decorations, which decorations it uses, and how to make the same art in your own hideout in a few minutes.
Original
In gameA round cartoon chicken face with a red comb and wattle. White subjects keep their white areas because the generator only removes the background around the subject.
The original and the in-game version
Drag the slider to compare the original image with the version rebuilt from Path of Exile decorations. Every piece on the right is a real decoration at its real in-game size, position and rotation.
Why Cartoon Chicken works so well as hideout art
Cute animal art uses round shapes, big eyes and soft flat colours, which decorations reproduce cleanly. The outline keeps the silhouette readable and the eyes become small dark clusters.
This Cartoon Chicken uses 725 decorations of 7 types, with Old Giblets doing most of the work. That fits inside Path of Exile's 750-decoration hideout limit, so the complete artwork imports in one go.
Decorations used for Cartoon Chicken
These are the exact decorations in this artwork, sorted by how many pieces each one contributes. The generator picks them by colour, texture and size, so large flat areas use big pieces and details use small ones.

How the colours were matched
Path of Exile decorations come in mostly earthy, stone and metal tones, so each colour in the Cartoon Chicken image is matched to the closest decoration family while keeping light and dark areas in the right order. Here is how each colour of the original was translated:

Cartoon Chicken in Path of Exile 2

Tips for the best Cartoon Chicken
- Eyes make the character: keep them large in the source image.
- Warm browns and oranges map especially well to wood, rug and earth decorations.
- Simple poses with the whole body visible look best on the hideout floor.
Importing the .hideout file
Go to your hideout, open Edit Hideout, choose Import and select the downloaded file. Make sure you import into the same hideout type you chose on the website. Back up your current layout with Export first if you want to keep it.
