WHISTLE
#036: JAKE Jake
has a nice blue-grey back and a white belly. Sound
corporate? He's a pretty 9-to-5 creature. When he
was younger, other whales poked fun at his
larger-than-average waterspout, but it doesn't
bother him anymore. A waterspout is a thing of
beauty and a joy forever.

comment:
The interesting thing about this basic design is the
flexibility I have in choosing the placement of color
boundary between the back color and the belly color. I can
make the character seem fatter or thinner depending on where
the boundary is painted. In this model, the whistle
acoustics are on top near the tail. The mouth slit allows
for sliding notes by slowly covering and uncovering the
opening.
