      I was thinking traditional Tibetan architecture combined with Hobbit sensibility. I also added a little magic grow light for his potted plants because he lives above the tree line and not much will grow there without help. This is what I have so far as a sketch. What do ya think? Is the perspective believable? How’s the design and composition?B7EC8B17-A1AC-462F-AEE2-CE6EF71730FF.jpeg

          Love your direction so far!

          Only suggestion I have is I would like to see the camera pulled back just a smidge so that you can include a little bit of the landscape to give a sense of the remote isolation in the Himalayan mountain range.

              More details. I am liking it so far. I have to admit I am really pulling inspiration from @Braden-Hallett’s January sketchbook as far as stylistic choices. I am also trying to make this more painterly and only using lines when necessary.

                  @dafoota aww man! I didn't see that. Well...hmmm. I really like what I have so far. Honestly if I turned it, it would not be visible. It's tucked away to be hidden. Maybe I will just go with it.

                      You could move the door across the bridge and make the previous door section a window, fountain, zen garden or even erase it and make the house more dome like....Just suggestions. I hope you don't mind. Either way it is going to be dope.

                      Much love and God bless!

                        @dafoota I think I am going to finish it as is and maybe do another 3/4 view and maybe put them together in a single “real estate” ad or something.

                              @chrisaakins looking great. I really like the wood texture on the bridge and your door.

                                After watching the critique arena I decided I needed more character in my house. I changed up the lantern, added a back door to make it 3/4 view, and added a cute little snow leopard as a pet. Because you know, cuteness wins...

                                  @chrisaakins That’s so funny. My kids were watching critique arena with me and afterwards told me to add a pet to my Yeti too. 😂

                                    @erinrew it's funny how much it added so much personality. I would listen to your kiddos.

                                      Was a little bummed my yeti didn’t make it in the Top 16, but live and learn right? Hopefully my yetis home has enough personality to make it in this time! @chrisaakins love the snow leopard kitty that’s been tossed out the back door😉

                                          @Asyas_illos i thought they would like your yeti mermaid. I was surprised to see that it didn't make it.
