The World and the Crow. (from story three)

The hero or creator figure is the crow. I had a hard time developing his look. Integrating a beak or merging his head with crow just seemed silly awkward. A mask over the hero's face seemed an unnecessary comic book genre solution. Similarly integration of bird-like lower torso just made him look like chicken man. The feathery cape with with crow profiles at the corners, mixed with draping furs seemed more in tune with  a dark world of animals.
