So the Pondhopper-adopts-a-family-of-crows comic a while ago was actually inspired by a flock of hooded crows living near me! I’ve been throwing them leftovers and trying to befriend them and their antics are a huuuuge inspiration. They tend to get bullied by magpies who enjoy pulling at their tails. I love those little dudes, and I’m gonna be making some more art of them. So this is a warm-up sketch page! Referenced from both IRL crows and Pinterest ones :))

We’re having a huge snowstorm here so I hope they’re all huddled somewhere warm

I love crows/ravens and how insanely smart they are!

Beautifully done. Here in Australia, my neighbour has been feeding the magpies and her ‘blackies’ (crows). The crows (ravens) are definitely the dominant species - the magpies move well out of the way when the crows walk along the fence line towards them. These drawings capture them beautifully. Well done. Thanks so much for sharing.

Crow appreciation! People tend to dislike them, but I think they're cool, cute and smart.

Oh, and stay safe in that snowstorm! The northern hemisphere sounds like it’s having a dreadfully cold winter. Unimaginable to an Australian. Brrrrr…. Sending warm Aussie hugs. 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘

I wonder if Pondhopper's crows would get along with Swordfish's frogs?

Oh certainly! It’s said that a toad incubating a bird’s egg might result in a certain mythical creature..

For me it’s the opposite, the crows don’t try too hard to chase the magpies away so the latter don’t take them seriously at all and keep bullying them. But I guess the crows don’t mind too much. And there will be more crow (and magpie) art to come! :) Thank you for always leaving these sweet comments, I love reading them

They are smart yeah! Mine seem to like acting dumb though, especially the younger ones
