UPDATE 25/12/12 - Uploaded higher-resolution version as promised.
Didn't get to win the competition but I was one of the 25 finalists, so I get to have a copy of the Little Giant artbook for free :)

Thanks again for the support and those who have voted, I appreciate it, and sorry I didn't win - the winner truly deserve the honour, he has the experience and the skills, that I give. But I ain't gonna give up, I'll keep trying until I finally win. Stay with me through my journey to watch it happen. :star:

"Only the worthy holds the key,
to set foot through thee
to seek the legendary
LITTLE GIANT"

My 2nd entry for my company's internal art competition for 2012!

Contest theme was to illustrate the journey of a young boy seeking the legendary Little Giant, and the requirement was that the boy has to have his signature kettle helmet, a yellow raincoat and a silver sword to fend off his enemies.

That, and the myth surrounding it (to quote the original text as stated on the contest poster):

"Some said is as small as a four-leaf clover,
some say it's as tall as a hundred-year-old-tree,
Legend says one wish will be granted
to anyone brave enough to find it.
They call it, 'The Little Giant'.


My take on the theme is to show the boy discovering what might be that ONE portal/door that can help him discover the giant, and like the inscription on the portal/door says, only the worthy can seek the legendary Little Giant.

Who is to know what lies behind that entrance,
whether to strange worlds beyond the skies,
where the Tree of Life began and end
where the Leaves of Clouds merge and submerge
where the Sea of Stars twinkle and dance
where the Moon and the Sun tries to out-shine one another
where the celestial falls weave and turn into
where the creature of the dark smiles his smile,
whether to tempt or to guide,
or just stare and lead astray,
who's to know, who's to say indeed.


Will the boy succeed in his quest?
Who's to know, who's to say indeed ;)
