Thon'Dah the Giant [Fantasy 'Miniature' sculpt]

A huge project, a fantasy giant I made for a client for miniatures scale.

Thanks to Miguel Martinho who I hired to help me concept the giant and the many little details that went into his storytelling. Miguel isn't a concept artist but has a deft hand with traditional art skills.

For storytelling I already had a certain vision, for the giant to appear more intelligent than a usual fantasy giant, not screaming and ape like, but coming from a potential culture that has metal work, leather working, cloth stitching and as good craftsmanship as huge giant hands allow. This fellow will be pretty huge compared to a bog standard 28mm sculpt for sure. I hope the suggestion of his scale has translated nicely too. Very happy with how he turned out and spent more than 2 weeks making him come to fruition. Really excited to see him on peoples and my own tabletop in future! The project was a little inspired by games workshops recent release of their Gargant models too.

Feel free to follow me if you want to see what else I have cooking in the pot for miniatures and other 3D characters down the road!

You can see the work in progress screens from zbrush and final renders in marmoset toolbag.
