DECEMBER CONTEST: YETI

[DaveLeekArt]

@mrsdion this is a fun take! Very puppy inspired:) The kind of yeti I want to give a big hug to.

[DaveLeekArt]

@Chris-Philpot ah this is cool. As a dad myself this strikes close to home. Cool design and the finished product looks great.

[DaveLeekArt]

@franksandovalart this looks straight out of a children’s book! I love the colours and creativity:)

[Christine Dion]

@DaveLeekArt Thank you! Yes, very much dog inspired!

This one was hard for me. I struggled a lot with getting it the way I wanted. Had a story in my head but could not get it to come across clearly. After watching al the fantastic entries pore in I almost gave up, thinking what´s the point? But remembered that learning and growing is the point and I pushed through and here it is. I am mostly happy that I didn´t give up this time. Good work everyone you terrify and inspire me

[Chris Philpot]

@DaveLeekArt Thanks so much! Yeah, my three daughters had nothing to do with the inspiration for this one. Love your Yeti design as well. Great work!

This is the first time I have done a character from so many angles. It was challenging, but a good experience. Mine is Grumpyeti. He is grumpy, but has a soft side hiding inside. I think there are so many clever takes on the Yeti for this contest. It is fun to see everyone's ideas.

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Chris-Philpot This turned out great! Really fun characters and story. It made me laugh. I can definitely see the dad and child relationship.

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Sara-Nilsson I think the dog-yeti is a fun idea! I laughed and felt like gagging at the yellow snow. Very funny!

@DaveLeekArt
Thanks

I think your Yeti looks really cool too, reminds me of Jake Parkers art, very cool!

[DaveLeekArt]

@Kim-Rosenlof I really enjoy looking at this design. The lines around the eyes and the way you decided to draw the mouth are cool. Great work:)

[DaveLeekArt]

@Sara-Nilsson good on you for just completing the challenge and submitting. It’s not about comparing to others in here, it’s about growing and improving as an artist. Simply entering and following through on these critique arenas does just that for you. Happy you made it and joined the club this month:)

[Christine Dion]

@Sara-Nilsson Love the playfulness of your Yeti! Adorable!

[Christine Dion]

@Kim-Rosenlof Your Yeti reminds me of some people I know! Love the expressions and body language!

I hope my entry is not too late. (I just finished this by the skin of my teeth!) My version of the fabled Yeti is part moose, bear, and deer. The design was inspired by varying accounts of Yeti sightings that are often dismissed as bear or moose sightings. As a creature that resides in the remote mountains of the Himalayas, I tried to add subtle facial features that were a cross between that of the Inuit and the Nepali. I added some accessories and apparel to help add flesh out his personality. In particular, the illustration that depicts him walking features the Yeti wearing a pair of Inuit sunglasses and distinctive fanny pack.

@Rachel-Horne I love it! Great colours and character- it’s got all the hallmarks of your style and it’s an original take on the yeti- bravo!

[Rachel Horne]
