Yeti Portrait

Apparently yetis don't bathe very often! That must be why they are called "abominable."

It looks really good, but I think some tiny highlights on the face would be nice. It needs a few spots that are slightly lighter, i.e. pinkish.

Cool, freckles. I like it. Now you just need one of those art dev people to comment on it. (As far as I'm concerned it's ready, though.)

I really like it!

Perhaps you should submit the finished version in the art forum in the Dev section to see if Jetryl will put it in mainline.

I consider this to be finished. If the Devs like it they can use it otherwise anyone else feel free to use this fella

The eye glint doesn't look like an eye glint to me - it looks like a white spot, I wouldn't recognize it - not sure why...

i think it would more look like an eye if it was a little bigger and has a dark spot inside it. (That is: closer to a 'real' eye')

Now it looks like if he has a hole in his head and a lightbulb behind

I disagree... I think it is only a glowing point what you see behing his fury face... not to mention the shadow... IMO his eye is gloving so you cannot see details of it.

yea, I agree with Lu Mong's Disagreement. At first I thought the white eye looked pretty good, but now with the yellow eye, it looks evey better

It looks a bit better but I think the point needs to be smaller and maybe a little further down and to the right.

Ugh... it started great but ended up well... not so great.
The first sketchy b/w art was just what we needed, but somehow now the colored one lost most of the magic.

I don't really like the dark purple for its face and the hair on the body does not look like hair (still). In comics or cartoons the hair mostly expressed by the scratchy outline and clean shading. I think you've used too much lines to show the hairy surface. Besides the whole body is flat, looks like if you've textured the area a bit in Photoshop or something. Overall, great start and flawless b/w art, I suggest to play around with the colors and hairy lines.

As you said I think the flatness and the hair is the main problem, I will give it a second try soon.
