87/100 - Family portrait
It might be strange to call these characters I created from imagination a "family", but like most families there is something about them I didn't choose. In a way, once they were out in the world they started doing their own thing. I've heard writers sometimes experience this with some their fictional characters, they "write themselves", they develop seemingly internal motivations and in the writer's mind there is a coherence to their actions that makes it easy to put them in different situations and know how they would behave.
It's most likely a trick our mind is playing but I'm enjoying the experience. The bird house character is one that seems pretty absurd when I stop to think about it but I'm charmed by it in some way. It's clearly related to the character from Slavic Folklore Baba Yaga whose home is depicted as a hut with chicken legs. But I made it smaller and in the original sketches it was a bird wearing a house for a hat. I don't think it's particularly brilliant but I'm fond of it, and I'll probably take care of as if it was my own child.
The guy emerging from the tree stump, he's not so amused about the birdhouse standing on his noggin though.
