Colossal Competition

Ok, so just went on deviant art this morning to see a competiton to design a collossus for thr game 'Rift', it had to based on one of six elements, to be different i chose 'life', fairly vague and it sounded like a challenge. Even more of a challenge was that the closing date was midnight that day. So I did some quick research, banged out a few small drawings (mainly for reference and developing ideas)and started painting in photoshop.
This was the end result, a little rushed towards the end but made the deadline, not too sure if this will be a contender but fun to do and good practice all round.

Why yes, it is a giant baby, because the elemental theme was life that kinda stuck in mind and I actually think that the infant bodyshape and  a giant baby walking around in game would be scary. It was describe that it was born from the ground, so the infant thing is kind of appropriate and if it would be cool if it actually matured and grew bigger as players progressed through the game.
