Back From Tibet! With a Yeti Fixation.

… Well actually, I'm back from performing 'Tango In Tibet', a play written by my good pal Richy Wilson. I think a couple of you guys came to see it, so many thanks if you did! You totally got to have a good laugh at me as a yeti.

The yeti fixation though, that's legit.

As the play was going on, between rehearsals I would often doodle out this little yeti character. I have a few ideas in mind for her and a potential series revolving around the princess of a yeti tribe and her spirit guide helping her channel her anxiety so she can successfully rule the tribe and not end up killing them.

It sounds like an exaggeration but… uh, the reason makes sense in my head. Which you can't see into. I envy you.

Anyway, where was I going with this… oh yes! As the idea started to take shape, what came out of it was Aan Xai Yeti, a young spirit guide yeti with the task of helping the princess manage her… well, anxiety. Shut up, it was super clever when I thought of it.

The whole inspiration for the princess and tribe idea came from me playing YimYam, who was a yeti princess. It all just kind of took off from there. I'll most likely develop a new design for the princess character however, as YimYam doesn't belong to me. And she was never actually an anxious yeti anyway. (which you'd know if you'd seen the play, GAWD)

Despite this, I couldn't resist drawing Aan Xai and YimYam together. BEHOLD! YETIS. Featuring shade comparison. It's a bit subtle but I think it makes it pop that bit more.

Yes, Aan Xai is supposed to look like a horned furby.

As well as this, Richy asked me to doodle YimYam with her father GrimGram when I had the time. I was in a yeti drawing mood so I figured, YEAH YETIS.

And then I got a bit carried away, it was only meant to be a simple doodle but then I added snow and this happened.

Male yetis have curly horns and females have pointy horns. Probably cos the females hunt and the males
can't be arsed or something, idk.

Nice little yeti Kodac moment. What isn't pictured is all the random yeti fights, mud throwing (figurative and literal) and farting.

It's a yeti thing.

So yeah, Tibet hasn't quite left my system just yet. And the fact that I could keep my yeti onesie isn't helping.

"My bitch is horny!" Hahaha YOU'RE NOT FUNNY, RUARI.

Yeah I'm wearing it now, why do you ask?

… yeah it's starting to smell STOP ASKING QUESTIONS THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER
