Yeti WIP
-
Right now all I have got it sketches, except for the one with some color. I'm just trying to narrow down the design so I can get some more final sketches done to tweak out the final details before I do a turnaround. So which concept is working for you so far?
1.
Yeti mountain
2.
Yeti snow ball3.
Yeti snow queen 1

I think the first 2 sketches work the best for me.
-
@doro_thea thank you! Is there something specific about them that works better than the other two?
-
@Meg-Clayburn i think the 2nd one is super cute ( and after the november contest we all know cute wins) and the first one is quite unique to me with the trees on the back that resemble the shapes that dragons have on the back. the 3rd one i can't really put my finger one, but somehow feels out of balance. I think it might be the very human face. and the 4th I am missing a bit Yeti feel. It somehow looks more like a monster AG character with the small wings at the back.
hope that helps. -
@doro_thea helps a ton! Thank you so much! Yours is looking great by the way.

@Meg-Clayburn great work so far. I think number 2 could be a lot of fun. The ‘ball with arms and legs’ character look is so iconic and easy to manipulate. Plus there’s something cute and funny about a big hairy ball with massive feet running around the mountains, it goes against every traditional yeti image people typically hold in their head.

@DaveLeekArt thank you so much! What would you think of him being made of snow? Or should I stick with the fur?

@Meg-Clayburn hmm.. I don’t know if I would go ‘made of snow’ or just ‘extremely covered in snow’ with a few small patches of fur popping out at different places. It could be a cool way to add a few splashes of colour to the piece as well.

@DaveLeekArt I like that idea better! Thank you for all the help!
-
That last one is definitely my fave! Nice work!
-
@powsupermum thank you! What makes him pop out to you more?

I love the 2nd the best... looks more cute and kid friendly and those long legs and hands make its easy to move it around as a character
-
I think I like #2 best, but what you did with the last one... maybe combine the theme of the last one with the design of the 2nd one?
-
@jdubz I could try that! So would that be mixing the little ball guy with the snow queen theme?
-
@Rekha-Salin-0 thank you so much!
-
@Meg-Clayburn not sure I thinks it’s his lanky limbs, but I do like his fairy attire too
-
@powsupermum thank you!
-
I have to agree, The first two sketches work for me. They have this cute yeti aesthetic to them. The last two throw me off alittle because it leans more towards a troll monster type instead of character instead of a yeti/snowman. Looking good so far!
-
@Meg-Clayburn Yeah that's what I was thinking. Give it a try and see how it feels.
-
@Brandon-Garcia-0 thank you so much! I'm working on a couple renditions of the snow ball I'll post soon!
