This really turned out much creepier then I intended, hahahaha. I had two inspirations for this illustration, I kinda just mashed them both together:
1) I love stories about shape shifting creatures, and this one's a raven. Ravens are excellent at divination, but you can't trust them because they're tricksters who only think of themselves. I heard they make really bad spirit helpers for the same reason, hahaha.

2) My other inspiration is from the Neko Case song "Hold on, Hold on." Mainly the first two lines, "The most tender place in my heart is for strangers. I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous."

So, that's how my character came to be. A raven woman with a malevolent family.
