Not Yeti Friday - The Ultrahumanite

I've blogged about him before, but he's worth another mention.

The Ultrahumanite is the first ever super-villain mad scientist, going up against Superman in 1939. He's also the first transexual super-villain. To survive death, he put his brain in the body of a woman.

Most recently he's taken on a yeti-like form. Technically, he's a genetically modified albino gorilla.




This guy used the yeti doll from G.I. Joe to make a custom figure:



Ultrahumanite, you are an honorary yeti. This I say.

How much is that yeti in the window?

C.O. Bigelow in NYC, the oldest pharmacy in America, decorated its window display in 2006 with a yeti to express the holiday spirit.

This photo was taken by photoblogger dogseat and posted to Flickr.

Kalinauskas Yeti

"Captn. Yeti" by Matthew Kalinauskas is nice and Simpsonsesque.

The yeti was drawn for the artist's yearbook page on the occasion of his final year at the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning in Ontario, Canada.

Yeti Wip

Wacky Packages are a series of trading cards featuring parodies of American consumer products.

Recently, this image by Smokin' Joe McWilliams was produced as a sticker in the series:



A bit of trivia:

One of the stickers in 1985 was a parody of the Cabbage Patch Kids. Topps liked what they saw and asked the artist to begin creating idea sketches and paintings for a new sticker series based on it. Thus, the Garbage Pail Kids were born.

Eaves Yeti

Les Eaves, Storyboard, Illustrator and Production Artist for the Film, Television and Animation Industry, designed these yeti for Pingu, a Swiss children's television series.

Abominable Snowfamily

Abominable Snowpeople Family print is available for purchase on Etsy.

Only SEVEN dollars.

Illustrator Ryan Berkley hit this one out of the park.

He asks:

"Does anything warm your heart more than a loving Abominable Snowperson family?"

Ryan, my heart has gotten heartily warmed by this family's cold, distrusting stares.

I featured Ryan's "Fighting Sasquatch Brothers" in a post last month.

Levings Yeti

The Drawn! blog introduced me to artist Leslie Levings and her Sculpted Beastlies, which are lovely and well worth checking out.

She hasn't made any specifically yeti beastlies yet, but is considering doing so! Stay tuned to this blog for any Levings Yeti updates.

She and a couple of friends make a webcomic about a reformed monster named Atrox. And in a recent strip, the character of Dr. Bill Yetison, a monster psychiatrist to Atrox, was introduced:



I for one would love to see Levings take a yeti into the Third Dimension.
