The sketch for the above wind-up bird.

Birds have always been amazing to me. It might be something about the way they move and their capacity for flight, but I can't help but find them ridiculously captivating. Especially the smaller ones as they seem so delicate yet are filled with such nervous animation that the idea of them being wound-up seems almost too logical. I've been mulling this idea over in my head for awhile now, and it's more than likely that I'm not entirely finished with the concept yet. We'll see.
