Sticks is Friendly | Storyboard

This is what I came up with for my final story board design that I drew inspired by my chosen haiku

You stupid scarecrow! Under your very stick-feet Birds are stealing beans! - Yayu

The last idea that I got was the idea of death and I wanted to convey was compassion. though this others may not go this far for another as this is an extreme take on the idea of compassion.

This is a story that I am came with inspired by the haiku I chose, that follows a friendly scarecrow named Sticks who likes crows and crows like him too. The story takes place on a farm where the farmer had planted some beans and his friends, the crows come and eat the beans. The farmer shoots them and Sticks shows a sign of compassion for the birds represented by his tears and also him murdering the farmer, propping him up as if he were a scarecrow. The end panel shows Sticks sitting on a park bench feeding his friends once again.
