Characters that I often focus on in my artwork are birds. Since I was little, birds have been a fascination and envy of mine. While in Paris, I was able to see some shenanigans that the crows by the Eiffel Tower got up to.
Crows are one of the most intelligent birds around, but they always get a bad wrap. While watching them, I started thinking about a story where these crows tried to live up to this idea of being evil omens and always up to no good, but failing miserably. For instance, the head crow would be sitting on a bench glaring at the pedestrians across from him while the crow above is pulling things out of the trash.
“Stop it will you?! I can’t give a proper, ‘You are doomed for eternity’ glare with you banging through the trash!”
“What? I’m hungry. Oooh, potato chips! Want some?”
A silent blank one-eyed stare. “What kind are they?”
