Yeti house WIP
-
Ok, some sketches and a revision for this month if anyone is interested. I feel like maybe I'm not making things interesting enough in general. A little too careful overall and not weird enough? Still plenty of time to go in a different direction. All thoughts/serious critiques welcome, I can take it!
-
@Chris-Philpot I love the design you chose to do bigger! I don’t have any neg critiques, it’s awesome. I do however like the other chimney that is block-like and rectangular. Good job!
-
@Asyas_illos Thanks! Yeah, I think you're right. The stovepipe might be competing with the rest of it and not adding to the story. Good idea!
-
@Chris-Philpot yes the structure of the house is unique enough on its own I think a simpler chimney would complement it nicely
-
Maybe something like this raises the stakes a bit?
-
@Chris-Philpot I love how none of the yeti children are actually sledding down the roof in the moment; instead, you show the before and after in the same picture (the yetis just about to slide and the one already hanging from the cliff branch)!
Just one thing I noticed: I don't think the "Yeti's" text should have an apostrophe in it. Other than that, looks like its coming along well! -
@Jonathan-Malski Thanks! Good job on the proofreading. Yeah, the before and/or after seems to be much stronger in this genre than trying to illustrate the action. Took me a few months to learn that lesson. Jon Klassen had a bit in an interview about how, as an animation storyboard artist, he had an instinct to imply all the action off-stage. That translated well into his picture book work as it's such a still medium. I've heard the point made several times in the critique arenas as well.

This made me laugh out loud, I love these Yeti kids and how the has an igloo entryway, like he added on when he expanded his family. So cool!
