      @Cayleen Excellent. Yeah, just fluff won't be enough to tie them together as the same species. Will look at the horns again or some other anatomical cue. Thanks!

        @Chris-Philpot these are not character designs but rather spot illustrations which is not a bad thing. This may get disqualified in the contest but they’re great illustrations and perfect additions to a portfolio. If this is what you really want, I say go for it. What matters is that you’re doing what makes you happy. Also, yeti dad looks adorable and the babies are a riot. I love them.

          @Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks! I think you're right about the character design vs. spots. I do enjoy the contests but I try to keep in mind that portfolio pieces and finding my own voice are the ultimate goals. The competition element is fun but not an end unto itself. That said, I have a strong people-pleasing streak and hate breaking rules. I'll probably split the difference and see what comes of that. Thanks again!

            @DaveLeekArt I'll include the little fuzzballs with some story elements to make them more obviously infant yetis. Thanks!

                @Chris-Philpot i agree. When I join contests, I always try to tailor my entry to what I want and what my portfolio needs. Just like what Will always says. Follow your gut with this piece. Make it yours.

                      Here's how these yetis are looking. Gonna sleep on it and make a last round of edits tomorrow with fresh eyes hopefully. Thanks again for all the replies!
