Would the Giant from BFME II be worth sculpting? Is it 'Troll' enough to fit SBG or WotR?

Do you mean this one? I always thought it seemed too reptilian looking.

I think the WOTN's stone giant is better.

The WinT's stone giant's arms are a bit too long for my taste. Maybe change the head on the BfMEII giant to be a little more like a troll's than whatever it's supposed to be now and I'd be fine with it.

That's the one I was thinking of, yes. It does look reptilian so I'm not sure what troll your looking for to make a suitable stone giant.
If anyone sculpted that one though, it would look amazing!

Exactly, I'd like one for Christmas.

Well I much prefer the WotN version, so I think that is what I will do. Then I'll probably end up eventually selling it (probably to DMS :wink:). Sadly there is no way there will be casts of him done. Not economically viable for me I'm afraid folks. Maybe I can do another giant sculpting article, with a bit more emphasis on techniques?

Of course anyone is free to hire me as a freelance sculptor for a private commission, whether it be a conversion or scratch sculpt. It is an expensive solution but a solution nonetheless.
