A golem in Flare's style. I made the model, but I used the armature from the Skeleton model (with a few modifications to the pose), made by Clint Bellanger, that is shipped with the Flare game. The textures that I used also come with the Flare game, in this case they correspond to the Rotting Tower model.
EDIT: I updated the files, I tried to improve how it looks, based on some cool critiques that I got.

Looking much better than yesterday, nice model; i wonder, where did you comment it? is it some moddeling forum? OGA is pretty dead lately...
Thanks! I got the critique through a private message.
On the other hand, I think that Internet forums in general are not as popular as social media like Facebook or Instagram. Forums are more of a 90s and early 2000s sort of thing. But I think that it's cool that they still exists. I remember when conceptart.org still existed, I used to visit that site every day. It was a place where artists would post their work to get feedback, find jobs, etc., it had thousands of members, many of them professionals. I kinda miss that site. OGA for me sort of scratches the itch that conceptart.org used to scratch.
I guess my age is showing here, but i like how forums are way less intrusive than facebook or any other modern social network, which are very individualistic, sure, they have their good points but i have a problem with hyper-connection intruding into real life and showing every member of my family im a geek.
On another note, you can easily make 2 more versions of this just by changing materials, i can think of "worked stone golem", with a stone wall material and another material that creates blue veins across it:

And a "Metal Golem", with metal plates material and exchanging the vines for chains:

Thanks for the suggestions and the references!
About being a geek, that's the thing, it's something that has been on my mind for some time. I think that after the success of shows like The Big Bang Theory, being a geek or having a geeky side to your personality has become much more acceptable. Even more so, with the advent of social media and cell phones, almost everyone is a geek today or has a geeky side to them. Before Web 2.0, not everyone used the Internet, or even computers. Now everyone does. I mean, come on, Vin Diesel plays D&D, for example. If a badass like Vin Diesel can have a geeky side to them, then everyone can.
I'm brand new here. And you dialogue turned out to be very useful to me))
