Description
"Stop this madness, Nobody!" cried the trembling cyclops, shielding the lamb in his hands."Nobody?! I am Odysseus, Son of Laertes, King of Ithaca, bitch!" yelled the bloodthirsty killer...

Setting up the scene takes a day or two, and the rendering process takes another two-three days usually.

Man, it must take a lot of patience (but a lot of fun, I imagine
) to complete these renders!

Yeah, the lamb did not turn out too good - almost blinding white, but the sheep being held hostage looks okay

Awww yeah. That's the kind of giant we all REALLY grew up on in fairy tales and myths. Not like those pretty boys we're all used to.
Love this scene. owo

One wonders why the cyclops has a skull necklace if he is entirely innocent (ancient Gothic look?), but then even the original tale admits that Odysseus and his group of thugs essentially barged into the cyclops' home and killed some of his livestock without bothering to find out who was the rightful owner of it all. A lot of the so-called heroes of ancient times / mythology would be considered no better than terrorists today; including Hercules, Samson, and even King David in his earlier (pre-king) career!

Well, why not? Who says only humans can have kinks? If elves, aliens, drow, etc. were real races they'd have their lunatic fringe, fetishers, and other such unusual members of society as well.

Heh, that is true. I can easily imagine Emo elves, for example ^_^

Yes, that's not too much of a stretch at all, is it? In act, I think certain fantasy tropes are the origin of many of our cultural fashions like emos, goths, and so on anyway. There are even some groups devoted to (supposedly consensual) vampirism!
