Yeti Character and Home Design

[donnamakesart]

Thanks @Heather-Boyd ! I can really get in my head sometimes. It’s good to get some outside feedback after a while

Here’s the progress so far:

Mainly drawing inspiration from bison and bats :)) totally does not make sense but I didn’t wan’t to go for the usual monkey + human combo

[Cayleen]

@donnamakesart Love it!!!

[Jacy13]

@donnamakesart Oh my gosh! I love your take on the yeti! I'm so glad you decided to continue with it

[donnamakesart]

Thank you for all your kind words! Here’s the finished character sheet. I kind of like how it looks sketchy with all the noted and thumbnails but I’ll see if I can clean up the layout a little

[Kim Rosenlof]

@donnamakesart This looks so nice! I love it!

[mallison25]

I really like your yeti idea, and the cross hatching style, you should definitely finish it!

[donnamakesart]

Thanks @Kat and @mallison25 ! Just submitted it to the official thread. I’ve never entered a contest so this is nerve wracking haha.

[Heather Boyd]

@donnamakesart This is beautifully put together . Thanks for not giving in or giving up. Merry Christmas yeti.

Revisiting the Yeti challenge after watching the feedback video

Hugely inspired by Ye Ye the Yeti haha. I might try a bird design just cuz it’s more kid lit friendly

[donnamakesart]

Home so far... I wanna tweak the character design a bit more. Something fit for children’s book and a bit more like my style

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@donnamakesart looking good!

[HeatherBouteneff]

@donnamakesart I really loved your original yeti too! I imagined his tall legs blending in with birch trees and snow drifts, and you would only notice the gentle magic of him if you looked up

[Frost Drive]

Woahhh your long legged yeti design is SO cool! I'd say yes that's definitely worth finishing!

[donnamakesart]

Thanks @Nyrryl-Cadiz !

[donnamakesart]

Aw thanks @HeatherBouteneff Yeah the original one is very much the concept of “Gentle Giant.”

[Dima Eichhorn]

@donnamakesart I really love your Yety

[donnamakesart]

@Dima-Eichhorn thanks so much!! I quite like my lonesome version but I feel the need to change the art direction so it would fit more clearly into children’s book market haha.

[donnamakesart]

The house so far. I’m struggling on how to show the Yeti’s personality... any suggestions? Winter places I imagine are quite bare

Figuring out the best view to draw.... if you guys have any preferences let me know haha.

I might also draw a cut away view to show the interior to show how this is just an entrance way. The real living quarters are actually under ground haha. Hope I make it in time

[donnamakesart]

A few more iterations on the yeti design

[Georgios Christopoulos]

Your home design is awesome!! Love it. As for the personalization, I'd say anything from an animal he likes to ride(that can withstand cold, a big name sign on top of the door, trash can bin(?), or even a sign that welcomes people, or tell them to get away!!!
