Thank you
I'm excited that you all like this idea!@Naters-Calderone & @Gary-Wilkinson That is a great question
I'm working on some sketches and trying to find a nice balance (since "cute always wins" 
). I'm inspired by the coconut characters from Moana (Kakamora), so I'm hoping to have a character with a similar vibe. But I'll definitely include one with its mouth open 
-
This it so fun and cute. Can't wait to see the final
-
@miranda-hoover this is a winner! Such a creative take on the yeti direction. I can’t wait to see the finish.
-
@miranda-hoover look good! Actually the exact same idea I've been doing... The abominable snowball... My design is quite different though.
-
@Megan-van-der-Berg @DaveLeekArt @Meg-Clayburn Thank you
@Meg-Clayburn Oh interesting! It will be fun to see how different our snowballs get!
-
@miranda-hoover yeah! It'll be super interesting!
-
That is super cute
-
I'm with everyone here. This is the cutest character I've seen in a while. I can't wait to see what you do with poses and such. So good!
-
@miranda-hoover cute!

@robbery @JoshuaDages @Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you

After much trial and error I finally have something
(some it is still a bit messy since I haven't gone into final rendering yet)I'm still new to drawing a character multiple times, so please let me know if there is anything that looks off or inconsistent.
• My walking/running image is the leaping one on the top right--I'm slightly worried it won't qualify for the pose since it's more of a jumping motion. My idea for the character is that it kinda throws itself through the air, so I thought this pose was more fitting. Thoughts?
• Also, the bottom right one is the sitting pose (legs are tucked in kinda like a bird)--I'm thinking adding a bit of ground will make that more clear.
-
@miranda-hoover I love the design, but for me it was a little unclear if he had a walking pose. And I think adding ground would definitely help on that last one . Otherwise this character is great!!
-
@Joe-Hanson-Tannous Thanks! Yep, was worried about that. Do you think this works better?
-
@miranda-hoover Yes, looks great!
-
@Joe-Hanson-Tannous Awsome! Thanks!

@miranda-hoover Was curious to see what you came up with (since I'm a fan:). Love this character. So cute. With the leaping pose, I wonder if it would read more like it's in motion if you imagine a character a leaping character like Nintendo's Mario, where there are objects it's leaping over or past. Because as it is now, it's leaping up but not traveling very far. It needs a little bit of setting reference. Then the sitting pose--the legs look a bit like a beard. Perhaps the legs could be more cross-legged, or straight forward so we can see its cute feet undersides? And yes, definitely have it sitting on a bit of snow or ground or rock.
-
This is so cute! I think the new pose does feel more like running. I do like the jumping pose that you originally did, but the new one may fit better with the prompt.
-
@Johanna-Kim & @Kim-Rosenlof Thank you
I think I'll go ahead with the running version for prompt purposes. But I'll see if I can find a way to have the yeti flying through the air in some other way
