Really glad we've moved on from the yeti stuff, I just could not get into that. So weird, id usually have no qualms about drawing a yeti, but attach it to a contest/assignment and I was like 'blecch!'
I love this new contest topic though, as it is right up my alley!
I have been sculpting little gross fantasy creature characters during the pandemic,I even made a little forest traveller last month. I'm going to continue this style for this contest.
I have these already



The latest little guy even has a backpack for his travels!
Could/should I just use the backpack guy and sculpt him in a sitting pose as well? Then draw him running?
Is it 'cheating' a bit to use something/part of something you've already made?
I have ideas for a totally new lil fantasy guy, and could just do that. But, sculpting takes a long time and making multiples of one character in different poses would be a lot. Not impossible, or even that much of a stretch (considering I sculpt something every week and a half or so.) And I love this little backpack man!
I dunno. Thoughts? Cheating a bit? Do a new character? Mix drawn versions of him with sculpted?
Thanks!
