Dec contest: ” YETI “ wip

[K.Flagg]

@powsupermum what if she was like a harp seal? This is really cute, I hope you can find a way to make the mer-yeti work. I think its really cute either way though.

@K-Flagg thank you I’m trying!

[Asyas_illos]

Don’t ask me if she’s underwater or not lol

[erinrew]

Love you meryeti concept!

[Asyas_illos]

@erinrew thank you!

[Asyas_illos]

Ok having some trouble... is this considered 3/4 back? Or is it more full back not sure...

[Asyas_illos]

Also which sitting position do you like more? The tail out pose will require something she’s sitting on of course.

[Asyas_illos]

Well I think I’ve figured out my final sketches still working on the walking running or swimming in my case, gesture but other than that I think this is working. Yay excited to get closer to final painting!

I think the idea is very original and it's developing really well. It's just a late thought, but if the yeti is planning on walking on some capacity on land then her flippers would work really well as ski's if she were to have some poles on hand Or even without poles I could imagine her snowboarding around like that

[Asyas_illos]

@Gary-Wilkinson thanks! that is an intriguing idea, for some reason when we think of mermaids on land, they have no strength in their tails... but I guess in the art world anything is possible! I’ll play around with the idea!

Or on a sled pulled by polar bears I love your meryeti, so original. It's great to see how she's developing, she's really coming alive.

@powsupermum yeti girl is very cute

[Asyas_illos]

@aska @ruth thank you! I’ve really been having fun creating this cutie!

[Asyas_illos]

Ok I think I’m ready for final color! I might with fidget the swimming pose hands they’re a bit wonky

[Asyas_illos]

Question do you think I should make her pigtails more visible in the swimming pose? The idea was that since she’s swimming they are sort dragging or flowing back but not sure if that is reading...

[DaveLeekArt]

@powsupermum it doesn’t look like she has pigtails at all in the swimming pose but I don’t know if that’s a huge issue. If you really wanted you could always tilt her head a bit to show one off?

[Asyas_illos]

@DaveLeekArt yah they’re hidden behind her hairy arms I’ll have work with it a bit more I guess... thank you

[DaveLeekArt]

@powsupermum you could always just have them over top of her arms as well. I realize you’ve already redrawn her so this message might be late!

[Asyas_illos]

Whelp here goes!
