Challenge of the Week 001: Robin Hood

So i made the 'Challenge of the Week' (chow rip-off) thread on the class WIKKI site and the theme for week one is 'Robin Hood'.I want to do something a bit more outisde the box instead of a litteral human robin hood. So i thought, robin hood takes from the rich and gives to poor, magpies take shiny things - rich people like shiny things so maybe theres a connection? ... very vaguelly.

So thats one idea, i also thought about some sort've cyber robin hood that shoots energy arrows, an east asian style robin hood (ninja?) and maybe another play on the fox robin hood that i beleive was a disney film?

Heres a few sketches of what a magpie robin hood might look like, done quite quickly and need to inject more personality into the character, thats if i decide to go with this idea.

Some more work on this idea however i changed the bird to a robin as suggested by a few friends, as i think robins have more character and it would allow for colour to be implemented into the piece bringing furhter interest. Much happier with this idea now, just going to do a few more ideas though i think because i dedicate myself to one.

Heres a quick idea for the final composition of the piece, i've been quite busy lately with other things so havn't really developed this as much as i wanted to, but oh well.
