Chicken, Illustration Friday

Here's a chicken that never flew the coop, never got to cross the road, and still has no offspring to count before they hatch. She's loosely based on a concept for a figurine that never really got past the "scratch" stage, until today, when I decide to give her wings a little color and a new attitude, to submit to Illustration Friday.
Nothing like running around at the last minute like a...well, you get the idea!

    Wonderful! I especially like the contrast between the chicken and the background - it feels like she's basking in the sun. :)

    Pretty! I like your patterns and colors. Maybe your chicken will have a life since she's gotten some color in her world?
