Winter Contest: Jack Frost by CGCookie


CHECK OUT THE FULL POST AND DETAILS ON OUR CONCEPT COOKIE POST HERE!


SUBJECT: Jack Frost

The Winter Contest has arrived. Welcome to the first contest to bring in the new year with on Concept Cookie starring Jack Frost! He is said to be the personification of crisp, cold weather. He originated long ago throughout tales to personify winter. There are different takes on the folklore surrounding him around the world. In Russia he is known as Father Frost or in Germany, he is rather Old Mother Frost. In American folklore, Jack Frost is depicted as younger and kind yet mischievous. He has the ability to control and create winter conditions, most notably, he creates the icy flake patterns on windows. Now is your chance to capture this winter spirit in a concept.

So with the story and idea of who Jack Frost is, you as a concept artist are given the challenge to capture him through a concept piece. The recent design of Jack from Dreamwork Studios was a testament to the studios ability to create memorable characters through design. Take on this contest from the stand point that you are a concept artist looking to design another example of Jack that is just as memorable. So how will you capture Jack?

Need some inspiration? Here’s a new reference and inspiration board: JACK FROST INSPIRATION BOARD.
