            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!

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

                  @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 !

                          @Gabby-Correia great work! I love this little guy. He does resemble the cast from Trolls but you can’t go wrong with such cuteness:)

                            This was hands down my favourite critique arena challenge yet! Right up my alley, speaking to my interests at least. I’ve never actually done a full character design sheet like this so I’m glad I’ve got one to add to my portfolio now:)

                              Here is my entry for December! Introducing Monty the Lumberjack Yeti.
                              The thoughts behind making Monty a lumberjack is quite simple. I thought about what SVS Learn said in their podcast about thinking on what makes the character so unique and why. Monty is a yeti and his environment is mainly in mountainous terrain so I thought about what other things like to hang out in that environment and a lumberjack came up. It was an added bonus that lumberjacks aren't animalistic, so it adds a bit of spunk.

                              I also considered the shape of the yeti as well. In my research of different cartoon styles of the yeti I found most of the designs were quite rounded, so to add a contrast to usual styles of art I decided to make the yeti more square to add a bit more shape language. The square communicates strength and I wanted that to be incorporated. With that said I also rounded the corners to show a softer and friendlier character.

                              With this color and pattern pallet I didn't stray too far from traditional pallets you'd find in a lumberjack or a yetti because I wanted to make it obvious what this character is meant to be.

                              I also added a homemade stone axe as an added prop to help build the character's personality as a lumberjack. The geese are Canadian because...well... I'm Canadian. They add more to his story as a character and the environment he lives in, and you can tell that he has a personal vendetta with the flying bomber squad. I thought it'd be great to add to these poses set out by SVS Learn, to add more of a feeling of laughter and whimsy.

                                      @dafoota great goal for 2021! Best of luck to you. I like your chances for this month, these drawings are fun. I’m also loving the choice of purple for the skin - why didn’t I think of that? Great work here, hope to see you in the arena.
