Welcome to the Creature Forge, the CGHUB 2D challenge of illustrating creatures of all shapes and sizes!

Creature #51 :: The Abominable Snowman

Deadline: December 30 2011 - 11:59p.m. [PST]

Challenge Overview:
Coming off the milestone 50th Creature Planets, dawns a new age. The age of Creature Forge! The reason for the name change is that the team here at CGHUB felt that we wanted to expand on the creature restrictions we had set before. So to kick off #51, we're gonna get right into the holiday mood and jump into designing the abominable snowman!

Your task:
We would like you to design this creature however you see fit, and present it on a model sheet along with a presentation piece.
1 - the model sheet should have the front view, side view, and back view. The coloring can be minimal, flat tones, no need to fully render, however if you are feeling brave during the break, no one can stop you

2 - the presentation illustration should be fully rendered in 3/4 view with added personality. The background is optional, fully rendered scene, or blank white, your call.

Restrictions:
You can't submit a piece if you didn't have fun drawing it :P

Let's kick off Creature Forge with a BANG!!

Good Luck!

“Please don't keep everything secret, working on your image in private only to post it at the very last hour as a surprise. The point of sharing sketches and work in progress material is so everyone can learn from each other, receive crits, compliments and improve their skills in a classroom/workshop like environment. There are no teachers and no students per say, but try to offer help to others when possible. Please be open to receiving crits, and paint-overs or mock ups of your work, as we are all here to participate, have fun, learn, grow and enjoy what each week has to offer.” --Mike Corriero

Hello everyone !
I don't know if I 'll have time to phush this one to the end...
For the studies I 'll work with ball pen for the drawing and CG color. I will develop the snowman in the bottom right. A kind of mammoth creature.
