Description
A beautiful day, even if you're a giant.

Done for the amazing THE NINE WORLDS CONTEST at for the world Jotunheim.

From norse-mythology.net/the-nine-w… :
"Jotunheim is separated from Asgard by the river Iving, which never freezes over. It lies in the snowy regions on the outermost shores of the ocean. Mimir's well of wisdom is in Jotunheim, beneath the Midgard root of the ash tree Yggdrasil. The stronghold of Utgard is so big that it is hard to see the top of it. And there the feared Jotun king Utgard-Loki lives. Utgard is carved from blocks of snow and glistening icicles."

So uhm... yeah, Utgard's stronghold is made of ice and all that... and mine isn't. What can I say... this is what I saw or what I felt in the moment I went for it and it's what came out. Certainly not as cold a place as it's probably supposed to be, but I guess we can just call it the er... Mediterranean version? Hah.

Another thing I had to consider was whether the giants are supposed to be gigantic in their world, or otherwise their world was made to fit their size. I've seen representations of the giants being huge compared to nature, but to me it doesn't make much sense that a world made for them would not have the according size, so I went with that. I also added the rainbow at the end as a symbol of the bridge between the nine worlds.

Other than that, happy with how it looks but I just spent far too long on this.

Here's a couple of images zoomed in:
