Originally Icarus was going to be an angel named Michael...as you can see from the original sketch. Also he was going to have a small devil bear as a friend.
Note: I also taped out areas I wanted to remain the glow in the dark material, such as the eyes.
First coat of paint.
More detail is added. It was at this point I began to realise that he wasn't much of an angel....
But then as I gazed at the paper mache wings, my mind crept back into mythology and the obvious name popped in my head.
So the halo was dropped and Icarus was born.
