A Clash of Kings – Giant

A Clash of Kings – Giant

Across the long lake, one of the mounds moved. He watched it more closely and saw that it was not dirt at all, but alive, a shaggy lumbering beast with a snake for a nose and tusks larger than those of the greatest boar that had ever lived. And the thing riding it was huge as well, and his shape was wrong, too thick in the leg and hips to be a man.

A Clash of Kings Chapter 54 – Jon

Jon sees the wildling camp in a wolf dream. There he sees a giant riding a mammoth.

I was very happy to get the chance to draw a giant. I mostly stuck to the way the giants look in the show with a little help from a youtube essay by Trey the Explainer. Based on what is described, I wasn’t sure if a mammoth would be large enough to carry a giant. But I assume Mr. Martin’s fantasy mammoths aren’t technically the same as the real thing. Just the same way I don’t think a Direwolf is a Dire Wolf.
