December Art Contest!

Art by Jake Parker.

YETI for a challenge?? Because this one is a doozy!

Yup, you guessed it! The prompt this time is: YETI. It comes to us from Jake Parker, here’s the details:

"This month we are doing a character design challenge!

Your assignment is to design the fabled monster of the Himalayas, the YETI.

You've seen them show up everywhere from theme park rides (Disneyland's Matterhorn) to cable TV specials, and most recently a rash of animated films (Abominable, Smallfoot, and Missing Link).

What we want from you is a character design sheet with your own take on the Yeti.

Every entry must have 5 color drawings on ONE page:

1 neutral pose front, 3/4 view
1 neutral post back, 3/4 view
1 walking or running pose
1 sitting pose (ground or chair)
1 close up of face

What can you do to make the character stand out from ALL the other designs you've seen? Think of the character's background, personality, wants, and needs. All of these attributes will play an important role in the creativity of your design.

Allright, good luck!"
