02599: Frorigh, Frost Giant

[Pingo]

This is Reaper's other frost giant, the one who isn't in Bones. My husband was running a giant-intensive campaign and I thought he would be fun.

 

I painted him in a raking northern light, with pale ivory light on one side and deep blue shadows on the other, with an attempt to show the reflectiveness of sky and snow. His clothing is patched and impromptu, his weaponry a little battered. I painted the metals with metallic paint but also painted reflections and shadows on them.

 

There's a WIP thread here.

 

Some of the pictures are taken from a low angle because it seemed right for a giant. Also, Frorigh is hunched forward and a little difficult to see from straight on (indeed, he is a little front-heavy and needed some counterweight to keep him from toppling forward -- you can see at the front of the base edge where I used epoxy to tilt up the front of the base about 2 mm).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ETA: I have submitted him to the Inspiration Gallery.

I absolutely love your lighting work on this guy. His left side, that's in shadow, is inspiring. The mix of warm and cool colors on his clothing.. holy cow.

Great job!! I like these giants better than the Bones versions, and you've done an excellent job bringing him to life.

His expressive face makes the mini for moi. VERY WELL DONE once more!

Love the palette on this one so much. I have a ton of photos with this palette for inspiration...someday. The peachy/orangey contrast to the blue shadows is one of my favorite natural combos (and we see it a lot in the snow here!). Glad to see someone actually paint with it!
