Hello, this is my new entry for the Medieval Skin Contest. I decided to do a different one because my old skin was not medieval enough for me.
This time I am doing Robin Hood, who was a popular folk figure in the Medieval period, and is also found in modern literature as well. He was a heroic outlaw, a highly skilled archer, and a great swordsman. The main enemy of Robin Hood was the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Robin Hood objected to the high taxes that were proposed from King John over the English population, making him an outlaw who would hide from the Normans in Sherwood Forest wearing clothes of Lincoln green. 'The Merry Men' led by Robin Hood consist of a variety of colorful characters including Friar Tuck, Much the Miller's son, Alan a Dale and Little John, whose motto was "Steal from the rich to give to the poor". The Legend of Robin Hood describes his adventures. His capture by the Sheriff of Nottingham, and his escape.
There are many books about the Adventures of Robin hood, and I'm sure you could find some if you are interested more on the topic.
Anyway, I made this skin using GIMP, and Minecraft Skin Viewer. It took me around 3 - 4 hours to complete the skin. Here are a few reference pictures I used to help me make it.
