Yeti

seven · Feb 2010

This Yeti was done for the 3DTotal The Coming of the Ice: Abominable Snowman sculpting challenge. The objective was to create my interpretation of an abominable snowman. One of the requirements was to record the progress. Below you will find my youtube videos of said progress.

Epic work man! Thanks for those videos too. I always learn a lot just from watching someone else sculpt.

Gallows · Feb 2010

I love your style. Even with time constraints you delivered. Thanks for sharing your workflow.

Sebeuroc · Feb 2010

Dude, this is really epic. Great concept, great sculpt, and great style.

The vids are nice, too.

Kylen · Feb 2010

Really cool work Seven! I enjoyed watching the videos. Thanks for sharing

Sean VanGorder · Feb 2010

Why does it have to be scary?

Looks awesome man :thumbup:

Vrav · Feb 2010

This looks excellent! Relevant: http://www.abominable.cc/2007/06/20/episode-1/

seven · Feb 2010

I was goin for as scary as Jim Hensen might get... which is not very.

Thanks for taking a look guys. I may do more time lapses of this in the future. Doesn't take a whole lot of extra effort since there's no editing.

@Vrav: that's a pretty slick comic.

AlanSMitchell · Feb 2010

Cool! How big is it?

Cyrael · Apr 2010

god that is awesome! and the details came out decent too!

Thanks for posting this link here. Speaking of which, a finger, allegedly from the hand of the mythical yeti, was smuggled out of Asia by Hollywood actor Jimmy Stewart and finally put in the archives of the Royal College of Surgeons. It was recently tested for DNA and found to be a fake. It's amazing how some people will go to considerable lengths to prove the existence of these mythical creatures. Paying for DNA tests can cost a lot of payday loans.
