Grumpy Bird

This one is a nice simple bird character built from a few basic shapes and a lot of attitude. Big tired eye, droopy body, scruffy feathers and awkward little feet.

This one is a nice simple toast character built from hardly anything at all. Just eyes, a mouth, an outline and then a few extra details to bring it to life.
