Little Drop

1. Choose a bird for page 3 - text: "He narrowly missed the wing of a bird".

2. Page 12 (& 13) in book - choose fish facing more forward...

Or - fish jumping out of water (for p.13).

3. Choose a "man on the moon" face, most like the amount of detail you envision (for p. 22-23).

4. New options for p. 20-21 (double page spread) text:

Cloud marveled at her Little Drop, zipping along, getting to know the river.

She wished she could do those things too, but she just blew steadily onward

with wind at her back, looking down at Little Drop from far above.

Sun kept shining, River kept running, and Little Drop kept chasing along.

(you had requested more of a fish eye lens view for this scene)... See 3 options below.

4. One of the images below may be considered for p. 24-25. Text:

Still more friends left but little drop kept washing along...

And gentle white Cloud with her subtle, warm Wind

waited patiently high overhead.

5. New image for p. 26-27 spread, to accompany text:

Then, after his journey had taken him through mountains...

And towns... And valleys... And bays...

And many more days of Sun's shining rays,

Little Drop came to rest on a long white beach of fine powdery sand.

6. New image for p. 28-29 spread, to accompany text:

He snuggled right into the warm sandy folds,

and what should he see

but smiling white Cloud

who just "happened" to be passing by.

7. This image (with drops in sequence & lifting) now moved to p. 30-31, to accompany text:

Cloud smiled at Drop and Drop smiled back,

when he began feeling quite light.

Then - Up, Up, Up

Off the sand he started to float.

With a whisper, he took to a flight.

More Little Drop face options as he lifts in sequence:

Round 2 - sketch revisions

Beach - Drop lifting

Option 1 - Drop stays in teardrop form, faces in the order you requested from image above (2,3, then 1)

Option 2 - Drop shape changes as he lifts

Birds Interact with Drop

He narrowly missed the wing of a bird...

Fish

As per our last conversation, you requested one of the fish scenes to take place underwater with Little Drop holding onto the dorsal fin, and for the fish to be less "googly-eyed". Here are 4 different examples - see if any of these come close to what you had in mind.

Deer in Woods

Here are 3 different scenes of a deer noticing Little Drop as he passes by. In the first image, the drop coasts along the surface of the water. In images 2 & 3, he has jumped out. Which action should LD have in this scene?

1. Deer in this scene is slightly startled by the drop.

2. Deer in this scene is giving the drop a more casual glance.

3. Deer in this scene takes a more active stance while watching drop go by.

Though we discussed the deer turning its head as drop passes by, the deer in this image was originally bent down having a drink. I couldn't find any photo in researching deer that showed a deer turning its head while its head was down. This makes me wonder if they first pick their head up and then turn it as what is the natural movement for them.
