Chickens... again

Hey folks,

I've been working on a handful of new pieces. A while back I posted a painting with a whoooole bunch—let's say a coopful—of chickens. You can't tell in these particular sketches, but I've been drawing (and painting) chickens again. I like to work on the images even as I'm still playing with text (this story is still in the works), so I started doodling and sketching a few new characters based around that very first painting.

Prep sketches from my sketchbook:

 

Stay tuned for the finished painting...
