Ye Ye the Yeti and his home... contest WIP
-
Such a great story and designs!
-
@aska reminds me of Totoro
-
@mag glad it helped! It turned out AWESOME! I love it so much!
-
These are such fun characters! I love the style and gestures. The sign on the back of the yeti is hilarious! Great job!
-
Sooo... where would Ye Ye the Yeti live?
For now, I’m gathering references and doodling thumbnails. I’ve never done a house design with this much care and preparation before... it will be great to see how big of a difference it will make!
-
@mag I think the best would be your last design, the bigger one, but you may consider 1-storage(floor) only. (like the last reference image)
-
I just love your work haha. Congrats on winning!!! I was cheering YeYe while watching the critic haha. Looking forward to your house design!
-
Sooo... after drawing like a ton of different houses and cabins, I realised, my Yeti would probably never lived in a house from bricks and stones. He’s a forest creature, from our fluffy and cute bohemian woods, so I’ve came up with all new sketch and designed his home under open sky.
Do you guys have any thoughts/critiques? I’m not entirely sure if It’s according to the rules of this month prompt cause this is not an actual “house” but it is his home ... so maybe it’s ok?
-
@mag love haha. Now that you point it out... but I would’t change a thing haha.
PS: may I ask what brush you use? I’ve been exploring digital art recently.

@donnamakesart thank you!
I did the sketch in Procreate and used the default 6b sketch pencil. The value is done in the gouache paint brush.
-
@mag I love this concept even more than the original homes in your thumbnail sketches! I think your style will really show through with this piece!

@Jacy13 thank you! Im really curious to see all the entries together!
-
I think I’m pretty much done here... but before I post it officially, I’ll sleep on it... do you see something that could be better/changed?
Thanks everyone and good luck with this month prompt!
-
@mag this is so fabulous I love it! My first impression (I'm viewing from my phone) is that it is all very light and around the same tone. Wonder if looking at it in grey scale would be helpful? It may just be my eyes and phone though and it also may be what you were going for but either way good work!
-
I would like to see suggestions of tress in the background and perhaps darken the fence so it doesn’t blend in with the snow. otherwise, perfect. A clear winner yet again haha.

this is beautiful! i agree with @donnamakesart ,maybe darken the fence a little!! Awesome work!
-
@KaraDaniel thank you! You’re definitely right, it is a bit “pale”. I was struggling with colours a lot in this piece...
-
@donnamakesart thank you! Trees in the background are a great suggestion! I made the fence a bit darker and if I’ll have some more time, I might add those trees too!
-
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I darkened the fence a bit and even tried to change the contrast a little, but it’s not a big difference I’m afraid...
I’ll keep that contrast thing in mind for my next illustrations, and if I’ll have like a ton of time I even might repaint this one
We’ll see

@mag Today I saw so many wonderful trees in this forum!!!! I love yours too!!!
