As different species from homo sapiens, giants should look mythic, or at least fairy-tale. Most I've seen just look like humans on a bigger scale, and some are just plain terrible. Tom Meier's 70's work for Ral Partha is IMHO the gold standard: http://www.sodemons.com/rhrp01gallery/r ... tgiant.jpgNow that's a frost giant not just some 52mm viking.

stumbling tiger wrote:Hi MarkThat makes good sense, but I have to say one of the things I like most about the Partha frost giant is the way he gets narrower the further up you get: it gives you a foreshortened, worm's eye view effect, as if he were really that tall!http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/ ... giants.jpgAs you say, giants' clothing should look like a primitive patchwork of scavenged materials. What do you think about the way this Grenadier giant dressed himself?http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/ ... ntGren.jpg
