TITAN - Hecatonchires
polycounter lvl 18
Hoping to have time to get through this once my current bit of freelance finishes.
For those unfamiliar with these blokes from greek mythology:
Description
Hecatonchires come from the Greek Hecatoncheires which means "hundred handed". They were gigantic and had fifty heads and one hundred arms each of great strength. There were three of them: Briareus also called Aegaeon, Cottus, and Gyges also called Gyes. They were of the same parents as the Titans and the Cyclopes, Uranus and Gaea (the Earth).

I'm doing a bit of a reinterpretation; combining the three into one and reducing the number of arms. I've concepted a rough idea of anatomy and have a rough head sculpt concept.
This could get very messy...

Some early testing. Once I'm happy with proportions I'll work on a pose then do some proper sculpting.
Nice idea ^^
I read TITAN and I think a huge giant several stories tall. There is some confusion with scale for me. The pillars make him look big, but the step of the pedestal looks like normal scale relative to him. Are you intending on breaking that step into a smaller staircase?
Interesting project, best of luck!
Looking forward to seeing this progress!
