# PROJECT FERAL
Born from one messy sketch and an unreasonable interest in snacks... [He loves Bread and Fish & Chips]
ROUGH IDEA
The first loose pigeon sketches
PERSONALITY
Expressions and poses
Feral Pigeon began with a simple experiment:
Draw a bird with far too much personality.
We created rough versions, chose the strangest one and started building his character through expressions, poses, favourite snacks and questionable behaviour.
Useful lesson
WHAT THIS EXPERIMENT TAUGHT US
Your first sketch does not need to be good.It only needs enough personality to make you curious about what happens next.

Nigel appeared while we were building Feral Pigeon’s world.Every character needs someone who encourages their worst ideas... Or extremely cool ideas.*Nigel knows every alley, collects objects nobody else wants, and can usually find exactly what you need - although it is best not to ask where it came from.
