Y.E.T.I. or Yvett's Everest Traversing Instrumentalist is the robotic sidekick to Yvett St. Pierre—professional musician, inventor, and thrill seeker—on her journey to play her music on the top of Mt. Everest!

Wanted to go for what The Wonderful Wizard of Oz would look like as a graphic novel/comic.

When you think that your friends need a bit of help from "Cupid's Arrow"

Fun topic!

Fun prompt!

Amazon summary of the book:
“Book 1, Beyond the Summerland, is where the adventure begins for a band of young Novaana, eager to serve and rule the four regions of the world of Kirthanin. Kirthanin is enjoying a time of peace, though Malek, Master of the Forge, and the betrayer of old, controls Agia Muldonai, the Holy Mountain. Malek’s servants are growing bolder and venturing further from their mountain stronghold, and the fragility of Kirthanin’s peace is growing ever clearer. Join this adventure of friendship, love, and betrayal. Ride through majestic forests and sail the forgotten waters. Rest a while in a summer paradise and walk the streets of an ancient and forbidden city. It will be the greatest challenge of their lives, but it is only the beginning."

Hey guys, wondering if you could help me out with some colour study/character design for the robot yeti.

I personally like C, but it was noted that the back of the 'tux' blends too much with the colour of the 'fur', and possibly doesn't look as much like a suit as a vest and shirt combo from the front.

Thoughts?

@erinrew Ok, so here are some tips that I learned in print class when going for graphic design.

• list item 300 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) is best on average for image resolution.

• list item Remember that images don't go to the edge of the page, and it's usually a 1/4" of paper around that can't be printed on. (Example: an 8.5x11 page has 8x10.5 of available print space.)

• list item printed images come out darker than on your screen due to paper absorbing the ink. A way we were told to combat this is before saving the file for print, lighten the colours by 5%. Though the best way to make sure your colours are correct is to print out a test before ordering the 500 copies

• list item As for what file type is best for print, pdf is best for that.

Tip for what file types are best for what:

• .EPS is standard for vector images.
• Use .Tiff over .JPG is saving for web. Each time you work on the .JPG, save it as a .JPG and then open it up to work on again, the image quality gets worse and worse. So if you're working on an image make saving for .JPG the last step, and only if you're posting it of web.
  -.PNG is good for transparency, and for low res images.

Hope this helps!

I've heard Kazu and others on panels talk about what all went on behind the making of the Flight anthologies and the forum that was used sounded a lot like what is here at SVS. It made me happy to notice that this constructive forum was available.

Also thanks Jake, and all the others who made the Flight anthologies! They were a big part of what got me interested in graphic novels

@Georgios-Christopoulos @neosmash Thanks guys!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'll probably go with 'D', and change the colouring to the other poses.

@Cayleen I tried the red and it didn't contrast enough with the backpack, so I decided not to have that as an option

@K-Flagg your work looks great! So excited to see it as it unfolds
Will you be posting the final work somewhere?

@Jacy13 Thanks!
