Pictoplasma Loves the Yeti



Pictoplasma, an organisation dedicated to the art of character design, really gets it.

They have a new Missing Link Project where they are asking for submissions of yeti depictions.

Here's what they say about it:
"Suddenly they seem to be everywhere: white, hairy, friendly creatures, just feature-less enough to serve as the perfect empty screen, yet exactly the right amount of hairiness, to make you want to get into physical cuddle-mode."

...

"Even though no one, nowhere knows what Mr Yeti and co truly look like, by condensing all of those globally existent imaginary portraits down to their platonic ideal, we hope to get a better understanding of one of our time’s last secret characters.
"

YES! That's what I've been trying to say!

Get your submissions in by March 15th! See their site for more details.

I hope this means there will be a lot more yeti love out there!
