Humanoid GIANT

[Millah]

My giant's inspiration is from the story of Jack the Giant Killer. These things are huge. These silhouette tests are made with a Japanese brush pen. I plan to do some more tests using the silhouettes as a base in photoshop before cleaning up a final concept for my 3d model's inspiration. I look forward to hearing what you guys think. :)

3,24,25 for me, though they all look wicked :)

[Krypteia]

I vote 3 as well

[Sauron]

6-10-17-23 the best for me:)

[Piflik]

12,17,18 and the whole last row (21-25) are great...22 or 23 are the best, I think.

That warcraft thing kinda has a Bobo feel to it :P

The thumbnails are sick, 2, 3 and 6 are my favs.

Thanks for all the positive feedback and for sharing with me what your favorites are everyone. I spent some more time tonight experimenting with mirroring the above giant silhouettes to create new symmetrical designs. Here's a rough concept using a mirrored version of number 14. I'll probably do a few more before I pick a direction to move on for the character.

I see the term "giant" has a double meaning.

[Malus]

I see the term "giant" has a double meaning.

Yup, those hands are huge.

[hawken]

they'd have to be ;)

6, 12 or 20 for me. should have been a vote?

[Millah]

Keep those comments coming. I'll also take crits on how you think I can improve these quick concepts as I'd like to get take my work to a more polished level all around. Thanks again... here's a second giant test. This one is taken from # 25

Im all for free-ballin giants roaming teh wilderness preying upon villagers of innocent folk! He should be wearing a ' Let the good times roll " T-Shirt!

I'm exploring whether or not to go a simplified route like 1 or 2 or a route with heavy armor. I'm imagining this guy being one of maybe a clan of ancient giants that live deep within mountains living a life of constant war against the likes of balrogs, dragons and other giant forms of predators we know and love. ;) C&C appreciated as always.
