A military stronghold, created by the humans on a tropical forest, extending far into the mountains. Inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle, I wanted to depict a unique housing for the giant entity. Something which is created by these host humans out of need and using the objects and resources available to them.
The shoe is the structure that hosts the giant entity; a giant baby. The giant shoe in the centre is the shoe accidently left by a giant on human grounds. When a hunting party of humans came across a giant baby with no parent in sight, they took him in. The baby was comforted by the shoe. Thus, the humans constructed a baby area in their stronghold, with the giant shoe as a living structure for the baby.
The humans are fond of the giant baby, they made giant toys for him, there is a different access to water for him, there’s also lots of mattress play areas for him, along with an area on the left to change the baby’s clothes. A giant bridge goes across the entire stronghold, transporting baby food into small plates for the baby. Humans have tiny platforms to walk across the stronghold.
The tropical forest around them blends into the stronghold, wrapping over towers and spilling inside the stronghold. This environment takes place in the medieval times, fueled by gold steampunk energy.
