Illustration of the fairy tale “The Seven crow brothers”

Epic crow bros helping out their sister while she tries to save them. And there’s a cute prince.

EDIT : Actually inspired by a version of the seven swans with crows I read as a kid. After a few comments I re-checked on google, and it seems the version of the story with ravens actually had 12 brothers, as the 7 crows by Grimm seems to be quite different.

There are actually two Grimms tales in which the brothers are turned into ravens--one is called "The Twelve Brothers" which includes the prince--then there's "The Seven Ravens" in which there is no prince--but there is a brave sister who comes to undo her brothers' curse.
Then of course there is the "Six Swans."--that one's probably the best known one of the three involving cursed brothers as birds and brave sisters.

This is adorable--I love how you snuck all the little ravens in there.

Checked after your comment - you're totally right! I should have re-read the tales before drawing. Oh well. Still cute. Thanks for the input.

The one I know is actually the six swans, told with crows. I honestly believe someone mixed the three in the book I read as a kid. Either way, crows. They be cool.

I actually have never read their story, but I loved reading about them in the comic Fables.
