DECEMBER CONTEST: YETI

[Cayleen]

Two questions, not sure who to ask so I'll pop them here in case anyone else is wondering or has answers:
How much 'spunk' can we give to our characters? I'm trying to figure out if we're just going for a basic template, straight-faced, sorting out the sinew and mechanics type of character, or if we can infuse a bunch of attitude and personality?
And can they have props if it's an important part of who they are? (Like, if it's a wild west type Yeti, can she be walking while holding a gun and wearing a cowboy hat? Or if it's a princess type Yeti, Could they be sitting and drinking tea with a teacup?)

Thanks!

@Cayleen the spunkier the better. Add props too if it will help. Do what you need to do to sell this character as unique and engaging.

And if you happened to watch today's critique arena cuteness wins...

@chrisaakins awesome job love his bottom lol and the addition of the staff he looks a hundred years wiser now

[chrisaakins]

@powsupermum Thank you so much. I feel like he likes a good laugh and gives out good advice to travelers who climb up to see him. The first piece of advice is "Don't climb up the Himilayas. It's cold up here!"

[Asyas_illos]

@chrisaakins right on

[Kori Jensen]

@powsupermum Thank you!

[chrisaakins]

@Jake-Parker cuteness only gets you so far.

@chrisaakins Awesome job like usual. I’m right behind you. I have some finishing touches. Are you in the all-stars?

[chrisaakins]

@dafoota no. I've gotten as far as the sweet sixteen 4 times, and the elite eight last time, but I'm not an Allstars. But thanks for the compliment!

[frankiiij]

@chrisaakins ehhh...well i think of your art as awesome created by an all-star!

[frankiiij]

New year ... new arenas! 2021 goal make it in!

This one was fun! I decided to go for a young human-like Yeti character. Realized after that he does look like he could be added to the cast of Trolls
Looking forward to seeing what the rest of you came up with!

[Jeremiahbrown]

@dafoota This is so creative!

[ArlMon]

@chrisaakins this is so great! I love the body shape and his expressions- makes you wonder what he's going to get up to!

[DaveLeekArt]

@Coreyartus great concept Corey! I didn’t even think of this. These drawings put a smile on my face as soon as I saw them.

Hello! I am just wondering, with the monthly challenges, I know that anyone in the Forum can participate, but do you select the 16 finalists only from your SVS paying members? Thanks !

[Asyas_illos]

@ValD yes that’s right
