Not as abominable as you thought...

Hey everyone! I'm new on the forums, but what better way to get aquainted than join the fray. Here are the beginnings of my digital painting. I want to portray the snowman as a misunderstood being - perhaps just a collector, and as evil and brutal as any normal man who likes to hunt the wildlife that surrounds him.

Occasionally, an unfortunate mountain climber will climb a little too high, or a little too close to his den, and you know what happens next. Here's the base drawing.

CRITS WELCOMED.

CarlosNCT · 02-02-2010, 09:41 PM

hehehe, he is an ellegant lord ^^

Suirebit-3DT · 02-02-2010, 09:48 PM

good start, the result could get very funny and styled

dark-blast · 03-02-2010, 01:03 AM

ow nice start great concept idea! its presented well! keep going, maybe add a glass of wine and maybe put the fireplace more lower it will be give the back light very good later.

gee.. I like his sarcastic expression!

Omega Cell · 03-02-2010, 03:57 AM

Thanks for the comments everyone! I appreciate the feedback!

@Darkblast - The fireplace is a bit high. Will lower it. I was thinking all the fire in the painting would be ice - giving the overall painting a cool tone, but I'd like there to be warmth as well to balance it. Maybe the fireplace could be ice and the candle could be real fire to create a well lit and warm foreground?

Glass of wine - good idea! : ) Thanks everyone.

Seale · 03-02-2010, 10:59 PM

Cool! And good luck!

looool he seems to be some kind of billionaire of the Himalayas! Loved the idea of making him well dressed =D Perhaps you could make a closet with all the mountain climber's clothes behind him

Great start, I want to see more =D

T0Mo1 · 04-02-2010, 03:27 PM

. cant wait to seem some color :P

Omega Cell · 08-02-2010, 08:47 PM

Behold...COLOR! Base color anyway. Opinions very welcome. Let me have it. I think there's a nice color harmony and balance to this scheme so far.

Aramor · 09-02-2010, 11:24 AM

That's awesome. I can totally see him giving an elaborate speech on what the best year is for mountain climbers.

Somepantsman · 10-02-2010, 01:32 PM
