Zakuro - abominable snowman

[zakuro]

Hey, i'm new to this forum, so firstly i want to say hi to all of you!

Since i usually do different stuff (traditional media and vector illustration) and like a lighter mood i'd love to shift the perspective a little :)
Maybe the yeti isn't so evil or bloodthirsty, maybe it's just too furry and big.
So this one will be like a mixture of man, gorilla and rabbit.
And like rabbits it's vegetarian (though it loves icecream!)
He's even decided to keep a monster-seal pet after so many years of chilling alone on the mountains.

Here's some preliminary sketches!

Hey, the monsters are cute!
Nice image and posing, but i'd love to see them in a more dynamic background. Try shifting your vanishing point: the cave would gain with more perspective. Also try cropping the floor, it seems like you're wasting too much space.
Nice entry!

[zakuro]

i decided to put in 2 pets inside: the firts is already there (the one that's behaving like a cat on the yeti's leg) and another will be in the foreground to give more depth to the composition

Hugo is an original "Abominable Snowman", but despite his grotesque and huge body he's absolutely harmless.
Hugo loves quiet and peaceful environments, as he's really susceptible to loud sounds. Because of this problem he now lives on a very high and very snowy mountain: he tried to move down to the valley, but he couldn't stand the high pitched shrieks of those old ladies. Not to mention that he wasn't really fit for city life, with all that chaos and noise. He found his ideal habitat just between ices and blizzards.
Hugo led a solitary life for a long time, but who said that a Yeti has to live alone? Do people think that who's big, clumsy and gruesome loves solitude?
No, absolutely not! A lot of people just have this wrong perception.
As a matter of fact, Hugo took with himself two bizarre pets: Hector and Vector.

He's vegetarian, his sharp teeth are only needed to break ice.
In fact he eats ice-carrots for snacks
He has long, thick hairy ears that he flaps and rolls on his neck like a scarf if there's a blizzard.
His enormous feet lets him grip even on ice!

xDDDDD GREAT style and thecnique. I like a lot these characters :D

Maybe... frame could be more focused in the character. There are a lot of empty space in the image, and creatures are so funny to be in this huge hole. I think you can change composition anddistribution of elements without destroy any work.
