Winslow the Yeti cooks!! WIP

[donnamakesart]

@Georgios-Christopoulos Thanks so much! No pressure though haha. I revamped the design but you can find both versions here: https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/10613/yeti-character-and-home-design/27?_=1613122297441

Regardless, they’re both somber and lumbering. I can’t imagine them cooking “with flare”

[Georgios Christopoulos]

Here are some of the concepts that I worked with before deciding on the top left.What do you guys think about them?Should I concider any of the others?
It is still too soon,so I can change a lot of things.Nothing is decided!!!

Hello @Georgios-Christopoulos , these are so cute! I really like the composition that you chose to go with, mainly because of how you're using the space and filling it with story telling details. However, I like the face and arm position of the yeti from the top right thumbnail, because I think he shows more of the 'flair' with cooking that the prompt says. Can't wait to see where this goes next!

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Valerie-Light thanks so much!! Yes I was thinking this too. I was so close to picking that one.. Might still do, or I might work on some more concepts.. What do you think of the kids witnessing the magic of Winslows cooking? Do they add to the image or are they irrelevant to the story?

[Valerie Light]

@Georgios-Christopoulos You know, now that you mention it, I really like how the kids in the top right sketch are engaged with the cooking more than the kid in the top left prompt. Maybe a way to combine those two roughs and take the best of both worlds?

[Niels]

@Georgios-Christopoulos Ha! They look a kin to the rough sketches I did to brainstorm on this topic. I think I like the first one the most, though they all have a nice energy to them.
The letters I like a bit less. The typeface makes the sentence a bit hard to read for me, and intuitively feels like it clashes with the picture itself.

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Niels I agree with the font. it starts to get a bit confusing.I ll have to find a more subtle one!thanks for your comment Niels!!

@Georgios-Christopoulos I love the top 2nd one the most. Though the 1st has space properly utilized and more elements, the 2nd one has more of story, the expressions and the way the hands are used in cooking, the kids both of them have different expressions which is so good.

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Rekha-Salin-0 that is true!I also liked the fact of hands being used and children having expressions on that one!thinking I might fuse somehow no1 and 2 together..

[Georgios Christopoulos]

Final sketch is done!!!
Inking is the next phase!!
What do you guys thinkg of this??
Winslow is having fun with those kiddos!

[Lindsey Pittenger]

@Georgios-Christopoulos Love it! So cute

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Lindsey-Pittenger thanks a lot!!! I ve made a cute entry at last!!

[Georgios Christopoulos]

Here we go!
Flat colours and Inks!
Rendering and some effects are next!
What do you think fellas??

[Naters.Art]

@Georgios-Christopoulos I know you're pretty far along, but I just noticed that all their mouths are the same. Maybe the youngling in the middle could be licking their lips or something. but it's looking great!

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Naters-Art This is actually a pretty good feedback!thanks!!

[Valerie Light]

I love your interpretation of the secret spices and the cooking gear. That's really well thought out. And cute, too!

On first glance, 2 drawing notes stood out to me: the bottom of the tree stump on the left is maybe the only thing in the picture that isn't outlined. I think it needs a more descriptive edge, like the top of the stump has. And I think there's something off about the shape of the fire ring with the kettle in it- I wonder if the rocks closest to the kettle should be lower, and obstructed by the shape of the grill thing?
Also, will there be fire in the fire pit?

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Valerie-Light Thanks for the words Valerie!! On your first note, every objects bottom will be covered in snow, linework and colour! On the second note I see your point,thanks!!
Lastly, embers and flames will be added at the secondary effects phase,after shade and highlight!
Hope you ll like the end result!!

[Georgios Christopoulos]

So, here we have Winslow the Yeti, cooking for the young generation!!
I am thinking of adding some text or caption,but I think I am done overall.
What do you guys think??
