Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. No schedule exists, and breakneck speeds of any ilk serve no purpose; we mainly try to have fun and share inspiration. The combining of two different techniques poses quite a few challenges as everything must be designed from scratch, save for Linden. Expressions, props, etc will change; remember that these represent base sculpts.
Has “Frostheart Giant” become a concept now?

Tons of long hair and Nordic countenances?
Longwrath: I’ll leave it up to Hue if he wishes to alter the face. The lad’s a mite of a compromise(?) at the moment. For one thing, according to the prose itself he would have been quite young, a trainee Swordmain, perhaps some centuries younger than Grueburn who already had tutored one squad of rookies. Now that she has been partially modeled after someone in their mid-thirties *cough*, the argument proceeded that he ought to look less aged, perhaps early twenties in human years.
He bore a stiff, cropped beard, and the angles of his visage were depicted as if “carved from marble”. I read this as sharper, blockier features, suggested it to Hue along with the fact that he emerged from Staff of Law -healed stock and had inherited genes from the hottie Gossamer (Handsome?), so I suppose this was how Hue decrypted it.
It comes with negative connotations ("they're primitive simpletons that have no chance against us humans") that I wouldn't want the giants to have.
How would that be negative? O_o “Primitive simpletons" is...quite an outdated notion. Europeans, for one, share a few percent of Neanderthal ancestry (Finns even retain the occiputal buns. Not to mention being insanely proud of some pre-glacial settlement findings in Kristiinankaupunki.), and we have inherited our cold resistance and belike the shades of blonde/reddish hair from them. They produced the first cave paintings. SRD mentions the protruding browridges and massive jaws more than once; one cannot avoid those. As far as I remember (Way, halp! Quotes!), Cavewights possessed long sticklike limbs and Giants were expressly hulking, with hefty muscles, broad shoulders, and barrel chests (Honninscrave’s was “as deep as the trunk of an oak”). The wire reffs above were created upon any details discoverable in the books.
Even if their muscle mass proved heavier, they’d require a different kind of skeletal structure. Consider an ant scaled to the size of an elephant. It would collapse as such.
Here’s one of the newest interpretations of Neanderthals from pre-glaciated Finland. Cannot associate them with anything negative, really...
I think I will lift the matter of hippier ladies onto the table again, though.

The Neanderthal physique emerges here again. They manifested little waist in account of their flaring ribcages (another aspect of evolved cold resistance) and broad pelvises; I read somewhere that the Inuits resemble them the most by body structure. I’m beholding the Giantish females as more rubenesque, however; Covenant must have harbored some reasons to ogle the First.
Grueburn wears a torque. Again, base model props. She furthermore flaunts an elaborate coiffure complete with ribbons visible in the profile shot.

Probably should post one; after her recent nosejob (it did
not become more delicate

) we joked about Boudicca.
Hue’s sculpting Stave at the moment and I’m looking into Rime, so stay tuned.
Shoe, don't hesitate to post your rendering of Giantish physique here as well.
