Nice one! Sea statues seem quite rare.

hard to get a true sense of scale but i like it!

Thirded or fourthed

That statue rools

Yeah, I love it. Saw a few photos with the arm and trident missing, hope it's fixed now.

there's currently a bit of a spate of undersea statuary (tho i think most of it is not technically gigantic)

Beautiful. Imagine most statues on earth will end up looking like that eventually :/

The bronze statues or the unreinforced concrete ones near sea level. The typical framework + cladding giant statues will corrode and collapse, the rebar in reinforced concrete corrodes and without maintenance the concrete becomes rubble.

Fortunately, sea level rise is the slowest appearing effect of the long climate crisis. Maybe 1 m this century, 3 or so m every century for the next several millennia. The Statue of Liberty's base isn't crested til late 4th millenium (around the time White Plains, NY is beachfront).

Whew.

*furiously buys white plains beachfront*

pixel art getting real

If that's it finished I love it.

heh, yeah i was going to say that more terrifying gigantic statues should leave the scaffolding up, it looks kinda cool

pretty soon every country is going to have a gigantic terrifying statue. before long they'll wheel them all into the same valley and have at it, mighty morphin power rangers style

Saw Motherland in Kyiv up close over the weekend (posted on this thread 5 years ago and by the same guy as Motherland Calls) and damn, it's impressive.

not gigantic but still:

This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, you’ll notice that’s not a robe that he’s holding. It's actually his dissected skin hanging around him. This statute is by Marco d’Agrate, c.1562. pic.twitter.com/wyPnQqbXTu
