Description

Once upon a time there was a giant named Philip. Philip had a temper on him and as he rampaged through the land he made the lives of the little folk a misery. Then one day a wizard by the name of Derek put a stop to all the tantrums. In the heat of a mighty argument between Philip the giant and the wizard Derek, a spell was cast from the wise old man and Philip was petrified. His only hope of ever roaming the land again falls to his wife the giantess Muriel who, after kissing him will free him of his stoney prison. Unfortunately Muriel has been having a century long adulterous affair with another giant far far away.
So, in the meantime, a village lives upon the giant Philip and will do so for a long long time, for the giantess Muriel is having fun.
You and your chicken are now approaching the town on the giant.

interesting story.

Beautiful use of colours, and I like the "natural" framing -- gives a nice sense of depth. One crit: I think the little coniferous trees in the background are a little to repetitive and patterned-looking. Great idea and execution as well.

Crazy! I really love this one. Thanks for showing some close-ups! (I love the little ship^^) I agree with trevorm on the framing

Well done!

I love this sort of thing. Maybe if a re-visit my "project," you'll let me use this.

Great work! +10

Thank you everyone for your comments.

Jafus a frame might look nice indeed

trevorm I agree that the trees look repetative. I think they look repetative in real life too but I could have softened the tree lines in this a bit more. Thanks.

Llogres thanks! I didnt think anyone looked at the close ups lol

Arik yes the sky is a bit plain. I also think I could have had more sky on show too. Cheers

Everyone else thank you very much indeed

Steven if you revisited your project of course you could

Roadrunner

Beautiful work, the close ups and full version are very impressive.

Philip's right hand/arm is much bigger than the left, and his head is very small. Possibly, being petrified for many years will do that to you.

A beautiful scene! Love the lightspotted grasborder in the foreground...Great work.

Love the setting

My favoutie half of this artwork is the background - greatly done.
Also how we are seeing this image - through the trees, facing the boy's back with his trusty chicken

who appears to also have a sword?.

The giant whom is part of the land - has a waterfall

. All together once again your imagination has run wild with images full of creativity and an image of wonder.

Lovely work there Andy

. The introduction story of the image is nice

Thank you Rae! the chicken doesn't have a sword BUt that could have been a good addition

Thanks for your comment V

venomsblood

11/09/07 @200

You are welcome!!!
I only saw the 'larger version' so I didn't get to see that the chicken wasn't holding a sword - it's actually his colar/rope

. But yes it may have been a nice addition.

Next time Andy

Good light composition here and great work with colors.
I think you could add some clouds at the sky - it looks too flat

Interesting story - this picture reminds me of my childhood fables. Great work

Just you guys answer me a thing: why is A-J not an elite? He's wonderful!

Sorry, can give u 7 nly (yet!!!). I'm checking your other works, man, you're brilliant!!!

Andy--Jones

11/09/07 @709

V next time I get the chance I am doing a chicken with a sword for ya

curly, I totally agree with the flat sky. Sky and clouds are an area I still need to much improve in! Thank you

chillie

bless! Although I aint that wonderful yet AND I enjoy mixing about with the 'normal' members too! But thank you very much indeed

11/13/07 @424

great idea but i think some more texture work would gie it some more fair

Andy--Jones

11/14/07 @458

Thanks thomas

SandraS

11/14/07 @544

Wow you paint so fast I can't keep up with all your new artworks!

I think the idea is beautiful! It's like a fairytale. Is that a chicken i see the boy holding?

Just another cool idea!
The only thing i can complain about is the giants right hand.

Andy--Jones

11/14/07 @556

yes its the boys pet chicken

Just an afterthought that has no meaning

I agree about the hand...I struggle to do rock textures in general and need to practice more with that.

Thanks Sandra

Yeah great idea!

A great concept Andy and well executed. You have a good imagination and you put that well to screen. I am sure that the large version shows better all the detail in the monster town but the DA page would not open for me.

Andy--Jones

12/01/07 @897

thank you cupcake, Gary, herrwestphal and Michelle

Try it again Michelle I think it works now

deandude

12/08/07 @178

hmmm i missed this one...this is really nice andydude! My only crit are the dark, foreground trees. I understand their purpose, but I think they take away some of the impact of the giant...just my opinion of course, excellent work!

and grats on elite lol

Andy--Jones

12/09/07 @147

Thanks Deandudemaman! Its good to see you!

This si too funny! I love it!!!

asomatous

01/07/08 @457

hahaha love the backstory!
i think you could push teh bg further back with more atmospheric perspective by lightening the mountains even more. great detail work with the tiny blades of grass and texture of the tree bark.... man you got patience!

Andy--Jones

01/07/08 @710

Thank you Fuschia and Gianna

asomatous I totally agree about the bg and I will bear that in mind whenever I do anything similar, thanks very much

great story, wonderful pic ^^
PS: I thought at first that the boy was stabbed through by the sword. you might want to position the sword differently or make it a shilouette alltogether

Andy--Jones

01/25/08 @782

Thanks peter you may have a point about the sword!

corsetti

02/01/08 @863

love it -love your story and a pet chicken - brilliant Hehe
I agree with petter about the sword but does not really bother me maybe some kind of belt type holder?

LiddleLarsen

02/09/08 @468

Just absolutely amazing..... Lost for words!

Eilidh

02/15/08 @821

I enjoyed the little story as much as the image. I'd rather not even think where the waterfalls spring from exactly

, but this is a great idea, loads of fun, and put together brilliantly: great colours, luminosity, and the humour seeps out of the picture itself!

Andy--Jones

02/15/08 @924

thank you corsetti, sofie and Eilidth

Yeah the waterfall is poetic license
