ESCAPE - Flying Giant - olileduc

Hi everyone, I'm new here on polycount. I registered especially for the Escape contest.

At the moment, my idea is pretty vague, but I want to do something about a living hot air balloon transporting a giant. The giant would not be in a gondola, instead he would be holding some strings. I'll try to do some concepts during the weekend.

I got the idea while watching some paintings by Zdzisław Beksiński, here's some that inspired me:

    These are weird, wonderful paintings :). I'll have to look into the artist more, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

    Hi, I didn't got a lot of time in the last days :/ Here is a concept and my idea more developed. It's a Giant/Golem escaping his battalion with the help of a balloon man who is climbing the sky using the clouds while the other golems watch them . The pose of the golem on the concept is pretty bad, I'll experiment with the position of my model once he is rigged, same thing for the balloon man probably. So my workload equal making the golem, the balloon man and some clouds. I will try to do independent concepts for my models in the next days and start the modeling.
