The challenge to design the character of Nicodemus almost did me in. He was a symbol that represented one of the muses and so the attention had to be on his face.

They represent harmony and good will, but his face on the other hand is where all of the emotion and life of his character is focused. Those decisions in designing the character were thoughtfully made. - Don
