FEBRUARY CONTEST: YETI COOKING

Chip Valecek

This months prompt comes from @Will-Terry

"Yeti cooked with flare and secret spices as the aroma wafted through the air!"

Couple of details:
The entrees should be in the form of SPOT ILLUSTRATIONS

Spot illustrations are small, simple illustrations that highlight a moment in a story, usually without a full background. They are meant to break up text and add visual interest to a page.

For the purposes of this contest, we are looking for 2 key attributes:

an irregular border that does not go to the edge of the canvas
an element of storytelling

We'll be getting to full page spreads later on!

The contest is open to anyone. But the winners and runners up will only be selected from active SVS members.

Post only finished pieces here. Post WIP projects in their own thread.

Put your real name and forum name on the image somewhere (can be on a border if you like).

Good luck everyone!

@Chip-Valecek Thanks for posting this!
Hey, if we keep doing the Yeti themes, then I may actually have a whole book done by the end of the year!

Is everyone using their original Yeti character design for all the follow-up designs or are some of you veering off?

@Gabby-Correia unfortunately I didn’t make a yeti character yet so I guess you could say I’m just winging it lol but I guess now I’m gunna need to make one

Joe Hanson Tannous

Here we go again LOL

@Gabby-Correia I just joined a couple weeks ago and barely made it in time for the Yeti Home contest - so I hadn't made the December Yeti image. I'm planning to keep this drawing in the same format/style so they will work together ;).

LisaF

Just to clarify: don't worry if you haven't submitted in the previous Yeti contests, you can still do this prompt! Just treat it as if it's a stand alone prompt.

So, if you don't already have a Yeti character, just create one. And by the same token, if you already created a Yeti character, but would like to change it, go right ahead!

We thought it would be fun to give you the option to create all the makings of a children's book, but it's not a requirement

@Gabby-Correia Prolly not since mine didn't even make it in the 16.

LisaF

OMG!! We totally forgot to mention that this is supposed to be a SPOT ILLUSTRATION Sorry we missed that bit!

@LisaF well that makes a difference...hmm I'm not sure how I want to approach this prompt now lol.

Griffin McPherson

@LisaF if that’s the case then @Chip-Valecek might want to edit the post to add that in so people don’t miss it

Asyas_illos

I like that it’s a spot illustration!

chrisaakins

@LisaF Can we maybe have @Chip-Valecek edit the original post to reflect both your comments? That might keep some who might not read everything still have the prompt correct.

chrisaakins

@Griffin great minds. I just posted the same things only slower! Haha!

Kevin Longueil

@chrisaakins @Griffin @LisaF @Chip-Valecek - was thinking the same thing - i went ahead and edited the post (hope you don't mind Chip) feel free to change it

Chip Valecek

@Kevin-Longueil Thank You!!!

Heather Boyd

@LisaF I have been doing spot illustrations so I'll pass on this one. Is there a vignette in the works? Then I might start to plan a design for a yeti, since I haven't participated as of yet.

Heather Boyd

@K-Flagg lols I have too many spot illustrations in my portfolio so I am passing but I am sure you could make something, just simplify and make sure all the important parts of your story is in it. I hope you change your mind.

K.Flagg

@Heather-Boyd lol I didn't realized I was missing a word in my post (which totally made the context seem negative ). I meant to say I'm not sure HOW I want to approach this now. lol sorry if I sounded like a jerk, I am working on my entry now.
