February Yeti cooking -update with 3d model
-
@Valerie-Light no that is great!..nit-picky is what i need ...in the original design i had all stove pipes joined together to the one in a sort of rickety fashion... maybe i should go back to that or get rid of one of the stoves or add the second chimney as you mention - thank you this is very helpful
-
@Valerie-Light I put a quick second chimney in the drawing above - does this solve the issue? - no worries if it does not - thanks again for your feedback
-
@Kevin-Longueil honestly i didn't realize that part needed a chimney, but I like it there because it helps establish more of the 'outside world' above the roof. I think I'm not reading the round fireplace with the bread in it correctly, though. Do you think you can sneak third chimney in to the left of the window? I can't figure out where the smoke from bread baking would go, or maybe I just don't understand how that kind of oven is built?
-
@Valerie-Light ..oh That oven!... LOL - that one was tied into the other pipes also in the beginning of this drawing but got erased because the lines went right behind Yeti's hand and were distracting me.... I'll work on that - Thanks!!
-
Increased the scale of the yeti... i think it is working better now... one disturbing thing is that the fur texture becomes pixilated and blurry when i post it here... i'm thinking i need to change the fur texture ...the longer lines in the beard area seem to translated better when i reduce the size from the 11 x 17'ish original for posting...glad i saw this now
anyways...any thought on the scale increase?
-
This is just excellent! You are very skilled. +3 on the scale increase! He looks much more imposing and true to the spirit of "Yeti." Can't wait to see the finished piece!
-
@Kevin-Longueil Great idea increasing the yeti's size! This piece has such an awesome flow to it.
-
@Kevin-Longueil Looking great! What a wonderful improvement!
-
@Kevin-Longueil Great improvement!

@Georgios-Christopoulos thank you!!

@Kevin-Longueil looking great, I like him larger as well
-
@Kevin-Longueil The scale increase really works! Liking your composition and the story you're telling. Great job!
Something you may want to consider is dialing back on the detail. This would be a stronger spot illustration and would have more impact if the background detail was reduced or even completely eliminated. (Just my opinion, though.)
And you probably already have this covered, seeing how this is just a sketch, but thought I'd mention it anyway ... the realistic hands don't match the stylized and smooth lines of the rest of your yeti, and I feel that disconnect. But as I said, this is probably just the sketch and you've got it well in hand (no pun intended, haha!).
Really, really looking forward to seeing the finished piece!

@KaraDaniel Thank you Kara!
@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thank you for the feedback Melissa! You are right about the hands... they have blue fur on them now and are not as out of place i think. I'm thinking you are right about the background too. I think I will most likely keep the background though .. i have so many pieces with no background on my portfolio website that i think i need to show that i can draw an environment... so i was going to try to get this to work.
One other random thing is i am going to try to make 2 more pieces with this kitchen or these characters in it somehow... I really think that is lacking in my portfolio also.. showing any kid of continuity of environment or character.... i just paused to look at your website Super Nice work!! Thank you again for the feedback! -
@Kevin-Longueil thanks so much!

@Kevin-Longueil I feel like there was not enough story going on... the bunny and rooster are really rough and scribbly but i think i am liking them ... i tried all kinds of animals - a goose almost made the cut - i did want a chicken or rooster in there from the start though so it was probably inevitable - my colors and rendering are all over the place and not final....still messing with the composition and story.... I increased the scale of the fox which i'm still not sure about... not sure about the crown on the fox or the cape on the rooster either..... or have i gone off the rails in general and should go back to just the yeti and the fox???? any feedback is always very appreciated - thanks for looking
-
I love this one! I think it's a great composition, and I love all the quirky characters. Really looks like a fairy tale story I'd love to read. I like how the bunny is doing something different at the bottom, a great detail. The fox and the rooster are good, but they almost look identical in their reactions. Maybe give the fox a different expression? I know you said the colors aren't final, but the red and green is really isolated on one side of the image, so you might want to put some on the Yeti to keep the image consistent? Overall, really awesome! Great job!

@MarksByMallory Thank you for the feedback! - Super helpful

Wow! This looks awesome! Just an idea but I think going with a real minimal blue toned colour palate could be something to play around with. Like an icey blue tone getting less blue/cold looking around the warm from the cooking. Hope that makes sense.
