I really like the idea of using the fur as almost like clothing. The ruffled neck fur/scarf in the 3rd image is really appealing and you could get some nice shapes playing with those concepts

These look promising already @Braden-Hallett can’t wait to see what you cook up in the 11th hour!

That's what I'm hoping for. Anything to make it look a little less like just a giant bipedal snow gorilla

@Braden-Hallett this is gold haha. So true! It’s just unfortunate for a lot of us suckers who don’t have the raw talent to bust out finished pieces at the last minute yet.

Playin' around with shapes and body types.

Reports suggest the yeti may be a bear. Bears have majestic fur coats. So many rolls, lol

I really like the "bear" exploration. Strong and Wise.

@Braden-Hallett it’s a blast scrolling thru your character exploration

your work always reminds me of the beauty in simplicity. It's the reality check I need once in a while when I get too focused on detail and intricacies that don't necessarily matter. I think you should just finish up your design and not keep us all in suspense until December 31st at 11:59pm..

Nah, that's not the way i work. Chances are I'll get bored with this, draw something else, remember it the day before it's due and guiltily finish it

@Nyrryl-Cadiz It's fun once I get into it, for sure The trick is getting started!

I know I said I'd do doodles up until the deadline but apparently I've got stuff to do this holiday season, so here's some linework!

@Braden-Hallett Sweet - really like the range of expressions! What's the figure in the middle snow drift? Is that another person?

@Braden-Hallett The sitting yeti looks like two figures. The pet in his hand looks like the head of a person connected to the Yeti’s legs. It’s because of the position of the arms and the ears look like eyes and the eyes and contour of the head looks like a nose.
Here is a draw over to show what I cannot unsee.
