Description At last, I managed to finish it in time!
I wish I'd gotten started on this one earlier than 5 days before deadline, but I managed to complete it inbetween work and life in general. This is something I could have worked on for at least 10 more hours, but I'd rather get some sleep now

I hope you enjoy this bearded Life Colossus; it was very fun to work on it, despite the stress during the last few hours

Medium: Photoshop CS5
Time spent: Uhm, maybe 30-40 hours I think

Thank you very much! I aim to work as a concept artist for movies and games, so seeing some of it animated some day should hopefully be possible

Hope you get there, big dream for me too one day to make my own story from my writing and art into an animation. But yours would be beautiful in movement

Then I wish you the best of luck as well! Never give up (and I'm actually working on a short animated film at school now, so I should see some of my work come to life soon then )

This looks like one of the best detailed monsters of the Colossus pack, and that is saying something

Wow, thank you! I'm very glad you think so I love detailing my work, it's something I can spend countless hours on ^^

You are very much welcome
I can barely even get through the basic setup. By the time detailing comes, I'm burned out and every thing turn to vomit.

Haha, I guess we all have different strengths I know several people who hate doing details, but they're awesome at speedpaintings, for instance ^^

horseybella1197 [2011-06-25 15:35:30 +0000 UTC]

This is really neat. I like the design, and the colors overall. The branches/hands was very cool, and I especially liked the face. Good luck!

Not at all, dear!

Yes, cute Colossus will survive! Bad men that want to hurt him will need to go home.. Or not

Manweri In reply to VisAnastasis [2011-06-25 22:30:27 +0000 UTC]

For some reason, I think most of them won't be going home

Thank you! The Colossus is very alive in my mind, so I'm glad this paintings gives you an idea of how it moves

coffeeframe2 [2011-06-22 14:26:51 +0000 UTC]

that's an original collossus, part horse, part tree... really surprising!
The colors are nice and I love the characters, especially the one on the right. that's one I can really relate to!

Manweri In reply to coffeeframe2 [2011-06-23 00:46:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! ^^ It is mostly inspired by an interesting root I found in the forest not so long ago, but there are certainly elements from my interests in the design as well
I think my favourite character is the one hanging from the Colossus' hand

Unless the Colossus starts waving at someone, it shouldn't be too hard

coffeeframe2 In reply to Manweri [2011-06-25 10:14:32 +0000 UTC]

Now that you mention it, he looks like an old sage to me, so I guess he probably won't move a lot for at least a thousand years

Manweri In reply to coffeeframe2 [2011-06-25 22:31:39 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, I think those arms are quite flexible, so I'd prefer to stay out of their range
