DECEMBER CONTEST: YETI

[notfitkid]

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.

Wow I’m blown away by the entries. Such storytelling in these characters!

Here’s mine-Y3Ti as he is known by intelligence agencies around the world. He is an ancient mech who protects a tribe of humans deep in the Himalayas who have hidden within their civilization the secrets of life.

This is Yeti. No, not The Yeti. Just Yeti. Seriously, it's not that complicated. Why do all the tourists get it wrong?

You see, at sixteen years old, Yeti works as a part-time lifeguard at the Himalay-Inn, a resort that welcomes visitors of any kind, year-round. Most of them are penguins on Holiday, though. They're pretty respectful overall, but they cannot for the life of them call the pool's lifeguard by his real name. Yeti. No The.

Perhaps that's what's got him in such a bad mood... Sometimes coffee can help.
