Life size Blood Rage Frost Giant?

Special thank you to a follower of my blog, Nate Lavotha for posting this and letting me know because without it I probably would never have found out. A company called Monster City Studios http://monstercitystudios.net/ who specialize in constructing anything from dioramas to full scale environments have been working on a life sized statue of the Blood Rage Frost Giant that Adrian Smith designed and I got to sculpt. Here is the post from their Facebook...

"Blood Rage the final epic Viking saga-
Sometimes, we get the coolest creatures to work with. This time is no exception. Our friends at CoolMiniOrNot asked us to create the Frost Giant from the ultimate Viking saga board game, Blood Rage. Naturally when we took one look at the artwork, we jumped at the opportunity. He's almost ready to leave our studios, and we wish him a safe journey, but we will miss having him as part of the Monster City family. Farewell, old friend"

...Wow! Seriously, wow! And this is not the first time they have done work for CMoN as they were the team who built the life size mecha for Rivet Wars. If you get the chance, check out their online portfolio and see what they can do. Very inspirational.

Who knows, maybe I'll get to see this guy in person one day.

Blood Rage: Frost Giant

Long time, no post. But that is because I work in secret, shunning the light of day and company of people so that I may bring you THIS! ...But only once it's officially announced. A few days ago the Facebook page for the new game, "Blood Rage" went up and now I can talk about it and post pictures.
This guy was one of four figures Mike McVey asked me to sculpt for the game and I think one of the ones that turned out the best.

I included a Zombicide survivor figure in with the last picture for a scale reference so it might help with questions on just how big he is. He was sculpted using mostly Fimo and was finished up May of this year. As you can see from the concept art he is stomping through some deep snow and I needed to extrapolate that part of the anatomy to sculpt his feet (not that big of a deal) but also try to capture that, "I'm standing on a mountain" feel that he has, so having one leg perched on a rocky crag seemed the best approach to that. 

Here is a last set of pictures showing off the progression of the sculpt, probably not that interesting but who knows?
