    Many thanks everyone for the nice comments and encouragements! I wanted to draw you attention to SpikeDragonLord's wonderful race mods of which his updated giant race mod was the base for this character. Cheers - MF

    This is really interesting concept and cool images!
    Nice to see something like that in top images which totally deserves to be here, in all that ocean of generic SG waifus portraits

    My... as someone who's really into Norse mythology, I really enjoyed this set.
    This is probably first time I've ever read about the TES lore on Frost giants, though. Well detailed, I must say.

      Many thanks AN for the Jotun appreciation! I also love weaver the two together and this was a great theme, I really enjoyed making it. Btw, this isn't the canon lore on giants. As far as I can tell their isn't much so I filled in a lot of gaps.

    Great captures Mech,

    your story made me realize where the word actually comes from, it's most likely a really old nordic word for giant, because it's still fairly close to the current word.

    My favorite is the side profile shot where the dark cloud beside his mouth make it look like he is breathing out a dark and icy gust of wind.

    Good stuff!

      I never knew that but used a lot of the real world mythology in this set so makes sense. I also loved that capture, I thought the same thing as well!

    Fantastic set,.. with a high mythological content to it, You've very nicely weaved existing mythologie into "modern" Skyrim. I also like how you depicted the Jotun. Great set, and i love these themed sets of yours,..

      Thank you sooo much janswin! I'm very happy you liked the set. I'm really enjoying the ideas about the dawn/early merethic era for sets. Hopefully more soon. Also shield maidens is coming on well so should have more teasers soon!
