The Competition Brief: Shadow of the Colossus. God of War. The most memorable scenes in these games evoke images of a vast character scale difference that creates a compelling and over-the-top dramatic feel. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to design, model, texture and pose a character whose scale is enormous, gargantuan, and INSANELY HUGE. Anything goes as far as subject matter, be it robotic, organic, man-made, monstrous, animalistic or any creative mix in-between. To clearly convey scale, an average-sized human should be clearly depicted in the final work. (Full brief details here)

There's a lively forum discussion underway here. The contest went live today and there are already a few entries.
