DECEMBER CONTEST: YETI

[Kat]

@Cayleen Oh he's so sweet, love him!

@shereen-said, your yeti is so fun and crazy, love him too!

[neosmash]

Hi! This is my first try at the SVS art contest. I imagine a Yeti as a childish Antarctic prankster.

[neosmash]

@DaveLeekArt Wow! I like this character design allot!

[Kori Jensen]

@Rekha-Salin-0 Thank you so much that is so helpful! Do you know how they choose the top 16?

[DaveLeekArt]

@neosmash this has got a great vibe to it. I like the prankster idea. Keep running with this, I’m curious to see what comes out in the end.

[DaveLeekArt]

@Cayleen ok now this is cute. I always think I’ve got a good direction with my designs until I see everyone else and realize I zigged when I should have zagged. Great character and good twist on the kind and gentle yeti.

[DaveLeekArt]

@Keeshan-Defay another great take on the yeti. I love that I continue to see different shapes and proportions and takes on this classic character.

[Cayleen]

@DaveLeekArt Thanks! I had some other ideas, but I loved this gentle giant that kept popping into my sketches. I love your Yeti! Great expressions and easy to 'read' --- something I'm still working on!

[Cayleen]

@Kat Thank you!

[Kori Jensen]

I honestly should not be so strongly invested in this, but it is literally my first time submitting my art work in for a competition, let alone SVS Learn's critique but I really hope that I learn something from this whole experience. I am glad to have gotten as many votes as I did. In hind sight I should have done a WIP thread before I entered mine :D. I put my heart into this project :D. Can't wait to learn to make my illustrations more effective.

@Kat Oh thank you!

[DaveLeekArt]

@Cayleen thanks!

[Jules]

Do these need to be colored and nice looking? Or can we do sketches and finished ones? Just wondering, I have seen both done in character studies.

[Naters.Art]

@Jules I think they are only looking for final renders in this thread. You can start your own discussion to show your progress sketches.

[Naters.Art]

Cool! Here is my Yeti design. Check out my thread to see the progression. I decided to give it an annoyed and aggressive personality because the cute lovable yeti has become an animation cliché. This yeti just wants climbers to stop leaving their @#&%! garbage on it's @#&%! mountain.

[Jacy13]

Alright, here is my final character sheet! Avalanche the shy but kind yeti! I had a lot of fun with this month's prompt

[Keeshan Defay]

@DaveLeekArt thank you!

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Naters-Calderone this Yeti belongs to Discworld 2 (PlayStation 1) video-game. Love your design. Also angry expression was a good choice!

[Naters.Art]

@Georgios-Christopoulos How have I never heard of this! I need a PS1 asap!

@DaveLeekArt Love his little tushie!
