Vidar3d I am guessing because of the ha’nephilim on the females shield, that this is the grave-yard of the Nephilim in genesis 6. If so we know from numbers that the Anakim are of the original Nephilim,and OG was one of them, and his bed was made of steel and was 14 feet long. This gives us some idea how tall the Nephilim might have been. He does not look to far in the distance, so maybe make him a tad taller, unless you are going for about 9 feet. Cool idea.
pureghost, thanks, yeah I think I like the guy with a spear better as well, I will be working on a new pose for him. As for clouds try custom made brushes to lay down the foundation.
knedlo, hey I like your drawing, this type of fun world art has always been enjoyable to me, I cannot wait to see how the giant will look in this style. Yeah, the archer is out, however what about the archer from LOTR, he was not so much of a wimp.
rebeccak - herethis should be the Boris painting you were thinking of. I am not sure if I like the backround though. Besides I wanted to convey that he is coming out of the ground, I have not completely decided how to do that yet. Maybe volcano, then I would add the cools to the top and warms to the bottom. or a hint of a pit.
I prefer to draw in tradition medium, however my scanner broke a while ago and I have not had a chance to replace it yet. Besides digital sketching serves the purpose because I am just going to paint over it.
the story is still the same, the warrior seeks to find the legend of the sleeping giant, awake and destroy him. The giant feels the power of the warrior and it wakes him up. The giant equally wants a challange. This motif appears through out ancient mythology. Well not so much the sleeping part. Like Enkidu and Gilgamesh, and the some what sleeping giant they go search out and destroy. This story if found in the Epic of Gilgamesh, I think around tablet 7.
hmmm, now that I think about it, that would have been an awsome painting to do. Gilgamesh and Ekidu fighting the awakened forrest giant.
I was the last poster so I will just edit to add my update. Refining the overall image, I think the giant is about finished, unless there are some recomendations. You can see his cave off in the distance that he woke up from.
I am not sure what to clothe the warrior in. I was thinking a native thong, lace type shoes, and maybe warrior body paint.

). And maybe a more “evasive” pose would fits better to the giants crushing killing smashing stance, but it’s just an idea. I’m really impressed by your amazing speed and unfailing enthusiasm. Keep it the way it is.
