Chicken

Ever since my attempts at making wings on a crow failed, wings became like trees in my mind. I obsessed over them for months because I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Something in my brain just wasn’t clicking about how they moved and functioned.

When the moment came where I finally had an idea that actually sort of worked, I was elated! I made this chicken straight away, and then proceeded to immediately forget what it was that made the wings work and had to redo a whole lot of rigging to fix that.

The original version was done with its head separate from the body because I thought that would be a good way to make it extra flexible. Whatever I was trying to do didn’t pan out though, so I reattached it.
