Artist's Comments

Giants are a sad race. Hunted endlessly for the fearsome presence they impose, they are unable to congregate and form any semblance of community. Their huge statures create a demand for food that they can never meet. Constantly malnourished, they are forced to scavenge and raid small settlements and outlying farmsteads, which only acts to further daemonise them. While physiologically they have the capability to match humans in intelligence, they are invariably rendered feral and moronic by social isolation and a lack of sufficient nutrition. Giants are ostracised by their fellow Fey Folk for their bestial decline, and fearfully butchered by all others. Adorned in the pillaged accoutrements of a culture that glorifies those who slay his kind, this giant masks his face and binds his scarred and oft-besieged feet with the shields of felled soldiers. Stooped and bowed by gravity, the giant is a paradox of immensity and shrinking shame.

Materials used are blue colerase pencil, and Photoshop (majority of time spent drawing, hence "traditional" medium label).

Wow thats really good the details on it are amazing
:icondread-s:
This is amazing. The details are incredibles!

Sad race, a little bit pathetic but it's not really their faults.
It's another point of view, all we see is fat giants, with almost no feelings. They kill and eat, and people sometimes confuse them with ogres because of this. Plus, the books of our childhood depict them as being stupid, so much more inferior to humans. And there was always that courageous little boy who came and save everyone from their cruelty.

Anyway, great drawing! a :+fav:

very impressive design and use for common human objects as adornments and weapons about the giant.

but more amazing, i love the way you explain the existence of giants in logical terms, few people do that well these days, and you've explained them through psychological means as well as physical. you have my applause
