This little guy is a character in the Milo book, and I just felt like posting him here today. It's the sun, and he's a mover and a shaker in Milo's world. I'm sure I'll do a sun toy at some point, but I need to get the first true batch of Milo toys out first. Gonna contact the Rotos soon, so I can see about getting some Milos in their store.Just in case you're curious, I finally decided to draw each face by hand. I solved the bleeding problem with using Sharpies. I think it had something to do with the liberal job I was doing with the clear coat. Too much paint all at once = bleedy face. Doing the face with a brush ended up being way more hassle than it was worth, and far too inaccurate for my taste, so the Sharpie seems the route to go.
The book is coming along nicely, and I'm particularly happy with this line from Milo's conversation with the river:
"That's a really lovely thought, Milo, and I'm sure you'd take good care of these fish. But the belly of a cloud isn't so swimmable, and a fish gotta swim."
Have a good day, all. Enjoy the sun if it's out where you live. He sure was smiling on me when I took my break today.
