Fierce defender of the forests, this ancient, lightning-scarred, moss-covered behemoth is sometimes home to local birds.

Here is my Forest Giant creation for the latest VoxEdit contest (https://forum.sandbox.game/competition/22-voxedit-weekly-fantasy-contest/) for The Sandbox. This is actually a revamp of a model I made for a contest a couple of months ago. I didn't place last time, so I took a look at other models and decided that mine was too complex, which made it look kind of messy. So this time around I took off a lot of extra moss chunks and reduced the overall amount of different colors used on the model, to give it a more uniform look.

I kept some details, such as the birds nest (moved over slightly so as not to intersect with the shoulder), and the lightning scars (though they were reduced a bit in size). This is only my second time entering the contest, so it felt good to be able to iterate on something I had already done.

If you are a landholder or artist in Sandbox, you can go vote in the contest starting on Monday. I accidentally uploaded an older version of the model as an entry, so if you decide to vote for me, make sure you pick the correct one (the latest version has green eyebrows)! There are a lot of great entries!
