Lets Vectorise again

So since my first attempt at my pictograms and my second attempt did not work out, I was determined to get it right with my  contour lines concept. So I tried it out on the Kiwi first:

I really liked this concept as it worked really well showing the shape of the kiwi and using simple lines to portray the animal. This was inspired by my original idea of using horizontal lines. However in this concept the lines contour to the shape of the kiwi. So I took this to feedback and we had trouble with the legs.

After getting feedback I had a better understanding of how the legs were not working. We also talked about how I had converted the lines into contours and how this would work with my integrations and 3D artifact.

So after some deep considerations and trying to get the feet to work, I decided to get rid of the feet completely as the birds had enough signifiers to identify what they were without feet. The contour of the feet were not consistent with that of the body as they were open. So I said goodbye to the legs.
