El Sol

The other half of my graduation present to my dear friend based on her Sun/Moon Kingdoms story, this time Mickey. Slightly different format for him and I want to thank everyone for their suggestions.

The symbolisms in this one are a bit trickier to find (that's mostly cause a lot of them kinda just popped up as I was coloring it; mostly found by Mel herself cause you know she's just that amazing). The more obvious ones are the flames, rising sun and the phoenix but also how the phoenix is awake where as the rabbit was asleep, the crazy sporadic designs on Mickey's clothes, hinting at his (and the sun kingdoms) more playful, out going and unpredictable nature. The ashy white of his under clothing, like ashes from a flame. I'm probably forgetting some XD lol This was a lot of fun to paint and even more so cause I had some awesome people chatting with me so thanks to you again for stopping by.
