I found out that its for a chicken wing cooking contest.

Awesome!  I love to see pencils over inkings an colors.

Thanks for sharing. Since its here and still a work in progress, I would suggest to stick to a traditional Cross Bones styles and make them more of an X. It looks more Traditional and "Piratey".  As they are now, it seems as if they are laying under the design. That could be good to. This is just another artist perspective. For the leg bones, it might be more chicken bone like, if you were to make one end of the bones larger, like a real chicken bone fits into the hip if a chicken. I'd say shorter also, but you do have to get it across the design. I donno.

Good job on the skull.

Very cool work-up.  I like the staring 'disembodied' eye a lot.  Interesting take on the crossbones--it'd almost be cool to do two leg bones and two wing bones for such a contest.

You can never get just drummies without an upcharge, right?

reminds me of the old Tony Hawk logo.  Looks like a fun one. Excited to see the final result

NO, you're not even close. Bird skulls are not now off limits to all just because of this... yours is different from the offset and obviously not derivative. Not any more so than Tony Hawk's artist ripping off the Eagles' album covers.

BUT, if you want to avoid any issues, I'd avoid that "dagger shading" style and keep going with what you're doing. I like it.

Hope you didn't think I was implying you were copying. Just reminded me of the hawk logo, that is all.   As Scott mentioned you are fine and shouldn't need to worry about any infringing at all.

Yeah I would say that is just a little too close for comfort.
