Temple Jötunn - Stylized Norse Giant - Real Time

In Norse mythology, the Jötnar (plural of Jötunn) are a race of giants descended from the primordial being Ymir, the first frost giant.

This is my first fully stylized real-time character created during my 16-week mentorship term at Think Tank Training Centre.
I want to thank my mentor Sean Ferreira for encouraging me to dive into stylized character art and helping me push this project this far.
