Magpie Development

A slightly overlooked character in terms of design is that of the magpie itself, which is stupid because he's the eponymous main character, linking the other characters together.
Fortunately, with the help of Estelle Sharpe and Gary Davies, a satisfactory design has been finalised.

The picture at the very bottom is the final visualisation, a design that I'd be happy to take straight into the animation process. Special credit must go to Estelle for coming up with the simplified design of the wing tips and the oval eyeballs.
