Not Yeti Friday - Mysterious Creepy Veiny Figure

runnerkara on flickr titled her photo "Abominable Snowman", but I don't think it is.

I mean, yetis don't usually have shoulders that go up to the tops of their heads. Or veins.

Noynay Suckerpunch Yeti

Suckerpunch Yeti t-shirt design by Simon Noynay.

First yeti I've seen with antlers.

Is he speaking pictographically? Is that a band-aid?

I like that he is in the clouds and apparently making it rain.

Bliznak Yeti

See here for "Yeti Hug" by Ivan Bliznak.

Note how very yeti it is, and yet... it's really just a yellow blob with arms and legs.

I really think there is a new form of yeti in the popular culture: the highly abstract, abloblinable snowman. You know what this means?... New label!

Lookin' good, yetis

Not Yeti Friday - Quaggoths!

Quaggoths are a race of monsters in the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

Quaggoths are naked, bestial humanoids with white, shaggy fur all over their bodies. Sound familiar? The only difference between a Quaggoth and a yeti is they live underground and are sometimes slaves to dark elves. As far as I know, no yeti has ever been a slave to a dark elf. Thank you very much!



Yes, I really like to say the word "Quaggoth"... Quaggoth!



Here is the entry for Quaggoth from the D&D monstrous manual and here is another one so you can learn all about their "stats".

You just know they have excellent "infra-vision".

Yeti vs. Unicorn

Here's a t-shirt design depicting a mighty age-old quarrel. Yikes, unicorn is not going to win this one, is he? Is this how the yeti gets his horn(s)?

For a very different take, I direct your attention here and also to here.

Note the far less antagonistic (in fact, quite the reverse) relationship the yeti has to its mythic cousin the unicorn.

I ask you, can't we all just get along?

Monsters Party Yeti

Monsters Party was an illustration contest put on by Thai design studio Studioaiko where artists submitted a winter-themed monster up for vote.

There were, unsurprisingly, several yeti entries:




Artists in order from top to bottom: Zoé Byland, Rick Lucey, Marco Villar, Christopher Bonnette (previously blogged about here), Chris Leavens, and Marcos Zerene. See all the entries and more about the artists here.


That last one by illustrator Marcos Zerene aka formatbrain was the big winner!
