Description When the Witch's hens get broody they'll sit on anything! Even naughty little black interlopers. The interloper grows up eventually, never forgetting the kindness of those snuggly ladies!

Happy Early birthday, Miss *tir-ri ! But don't count your chickens before they hatch. Har har har.

*dodges tomatoes*

Done in Watercolor and gelpen on Hotpress on 120 lbs hotpress paper.

This is one of my favorite things I've seen that you've done. The colors (especially around the head/face) and details on the feathers gorgeous. Also, it makes me want to go to sleep. It makes me feel the same way I did while watching My Neighbor Totoro when Mei fell asleep on Totoro's stomach.

Weird comment, but true...

There's a certain charm to this. Never thought I acually would find a hen cosy-looking. This one I can almost see as a woman, with a lot of body and a motherly apple-face. Really awesome.

Ahhh, that's so neat! I really was thinking of re-drawing her as a woman oddly enough. I had some chickens when I was growing up and they were so packed with plucky personality that I couldn't help but imagine what they would be like as people.

Oh gosh! You're not the only one- there's a few people who have said so already! Don't they just have the funnest personalities? I had 2 when I was growing up and they were so friendly and sassy.

Hahaha! Good to know that others love the silly little buggers as much as I do. And yes, silly silly personalities. I actually just had to go out and help my boyfriend herd in one who got loose and normally will let us pet her, but since she was out she would let us get to just within reach and scurried off. Silly silly little hen

Those teeny fine lines around the feathers are such a perfect touch. They really give her a fluffy volume. The other bird looks annoyed too but the hen is all "Take it bitch, take my warm, hefty love"
Cool concept too, "Witches hen".

bluealaris In reply to redcatsarz [2011-03-01 03:47:11 +0000 UTC]

AHAHAHAA!! That is such a hilarious scenario! She is so uber-fluffy, she will crush you with her fluffiness. >w<
I really love putting tiny lines in things like feathers. It's my masochistic, monotonous streak right there.

Wah those zig-zags, loops, and dashes in the hen's feather pattern look like they were fun to make! This is so cuuute. I can't help but to imagine that young interloper as an adult haha <3

Well you did an excellent job at making her look fluffy. I know my buff orpington hens get all flaired up like that when their sitting eggs or chicks.
